But with a knife, and me quick drawing

At 0:43 the reporter's commentary:
"Plumb says he was on a grassy knoll . . ."

Does any sniper want to be associated with a grassy knoll?

Maybe shoot the knife out of the hand of a Racoon?

Today I learned that CAF MPs are basically WWII German submariners.

Uvalde Police Chief found not guilty on all 29 counts.

There is also a multi billion dollar civil action going to trial against virtually every level of public authority involved, but I have little idea of what the specific theory of civil liabilities are.
Probably a breach of:
-Duty to protect
-Duty to safeguard

Negligence but of what, specifically in US law?
Perhaps some other form of actionable “feasance” through an error or omission but what specifically?

I wonder what are the specifics of “but for the errors, acts or omissions in the decisions” argument of the “defendants” the children would still be alive.

Should be an interesting and quite sad civil case and I hope it results in a detailed, reasoned judgement.

Reason Magazine has a rundown on the case:

Uvalde cop's acquittal shows why it's hard to criminalize failing to stop a mass shooting

A Texas jury’s acquittal illustrates the difficulty of using child endangerment laws to prosecute police in mass shootings.

Disgraced Winnipeg police officer sentenced to 7 years in prison


"Holy f--k," Bostock said in response from his seat in the prisoner’s box, covering his face with his hands and shaking his head.

"I accept that there was a plea bargain, but the parties have not made a joint submission on sentence. I hesitate to go along with it," Champagne said, adding trial judges are required to give lawyers notice if they are considering giving a harsher sentence than what prosecutors ask for, allowing them to make more submissions if they want to.

"Failure to do so risks having the harsher sentence overturned on appeal," Champagne said.

When lawyers returned from a brief recess to consider those comments, defence lawyer Richard Wolson told court Bostock had accepted the seven-year joint recommendation.

The seven years prosecutors asked for came as part of a plea deal that saw the Crown cap their request at six years for Bostock’s provincial offences and a year for his federal drug charge, on the condition that Bostock’s defence ask for a sentence of no less than two years for the provincial charges and a consecutive sentence of any length for the drug offence.

Bostock, 49, pleaded guilty last November to a long list of crimes, including getting traffic tickets voided in exchange for liquor and gift cards, stealing cannabis from a police scene, sharing confidential police information, and sending lewd texts alongside a photo he took of a topless woman who had fatally overdosed.

And it looks like he hit all the bases in 'corrupt cop land'

 

[medicineman]

I recall when they used to liken WPS to New Orleans PD - lowest paid cops in the country at one point, working in high stress/violence areas, with some of the highest corruption rates as a result...
