Rape is always illegal, the problem seems to be that consensual sex between an officer and a detainee in those states is not illegal - so an officer could rape a detainee and claim it was consensual activity and, in all likelihood, avoid being charged.

In the "green" states it's flat out illegal whether there's consent or not (as it obviously should be ffs) and so, if sexual activity took place, the detaining officer would be automatically guilty without the possibility of making false claims of consent.

Their commander in chief is Trump, who is very clear in his support for the police, thus the US military defending civilians from the police represents breaking the chain of command (because Trump is at the top of that chain) and could effectively be considered desertion or even an attempt at a full on coup d'etat (knowing Trump).

Absolutely. It's a position of trust, and a position of power. It shouldn't be legal anywhere. I think where some got confused is that as you say, "not rapes" could happen and the guard could say it wasn't rape - just like what happens to some ordinary people...

What a creepy law though, it's so clear that it's there just so the guards can abuse their prisoners with no repercussions. What a world we live inIt's not actually a law, more the absense of a law, that's the problem. Obviously consensual sex between adults is generally legal, but where there's a power imbalance there SHOULD be regulations and laws in place - because the person in power can claim consent, and also because the position of power opens up a whole mess of coercion possibilities (to be crude; "suck me off and you can go home right now with a warning, say no and you'll be charged and in up in court."). Pressured consent obviously is not consent, but it becomes impossible to prove.

A law precluding sex with a detainee removes a lot of that possibility; if the victim can show that ANYTHING happened for ANY reason, verbal consent or not, the officer has broken the law.

They could argue that it's an oversight I suppose but the fact that that law DOES exist in many countries, and in about 1/3 of US states, means they're aware of the possibility but have chosen not to implement a law. That part is pretty creepy.

Trump has received a fair amount of flak for his resort to the White House bunker as protests heated up nearby last week.

Now, in a wide-ranging Fox News radio interview, he says he entered the secure bunker on Friday "all for inspection". He also said he went to the bunker in the daytime, and before protests began to rage.

"I wasn't down. I went down during the day and I was there for a tiny short period of time," he says, adding that he visited it two or three times. Protesters have recently adopted the nickname Bunker Baby.

He also claimed to have received a positive response from religious leaders to his photo-op at a church opposite the White House, despite the visit being condemned by the Washington DC archdiocese and the episcopal leader that oversees that church.

Trump's church visit shocks religious leaders

He also suggested that he did not know protesters would be cleared to make a path for his visit, despite explosions being heard from the White House Rose Garden, where he delivered a speech to the nation before walking through Lafayette Square to the St Johns Church.

"When I went, I didn't say 'Oh, move them out.' I didn't know who was there. I figured I was going walk over the church, very nearby," he continued.

Adam you know what side im on but it didnt look like the police started this the guy went past the barriers the police pushed him back and then it all kicked off.

Amy Klobuchar has tweeted that the charge has been increased to 2nd-degree and the three other are to be charged too. Finally Klobuchar says something on this. For months I heard her speeches and answers and she always, always mentioned that she was from Minnesota and then would reel off all the blue collar states just to emphasises how important they were to the electoral college. It was very cynical. The only other thing I've heard from her recently was that she had the chance to prosecute Derek Chauvin and get him thrown off the force when she was Minnesota DA but didn't. If Biden picks Klobuchar as VP he loses. She's an awful candidate.

[Strictly Jake]

I will take another look but it looks like one pushes him back then the other 2 have to, perhaps because the other guy is pushing back or the others are about to come through the barrier

I know nearly all of the police in this country are good people. I know racism exists but police in this country and police in America are different. Also the guy was gettig closer than 2m. It could be another reason.

Cops have been firing rubber bullets at anyone and everyone, people stood on their porches, a pregnant woman, protesters. They've used tear gas on peaceful protesters, dragged people out of their cars and arrested them. Threatened and HAVE run over people.

I’m pretty sure shooting medics is a war crime under the Geneva convention

[bots]

Jim Mattis, a retired general and former defence secretary, castigated Donald Trump as an immature president making “a mockery” of the constitution, as he joined a chorus of retired military officers who have slammed the president for his response to the George Floyd protests.

“Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people — does not even pretend to try. Instead he tries to divide us,” Mr Mattis wrote in The Atlantic. “We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership.”

Mr Mattis, who was seen as one of “the adults” in the administration, quit in 2018 after Mr Trump took a snap decision to remove troops from Syria over his objections. Trump critics had urged him to speak out, but he had stayed out of the fray until Wednesday.

Mr Trump shot back at Mr Mattis on Wednesday, claiming to have fired him, even though the retired Marine submitted his own resignation.

Its racism all these people caring about looting and rioting have not once come out and said anything about the reason why or fail to acknowledge that police brutality is the reason we are hear and that brutality is still going on and they are attack the black people and the protests mostly and the white people are hurt by accident

‘The death of George Floyd is unacceptable, but the demonstration in Dam Square in the form it took was irresponsible,’ he said.

what our PM Rutte said last night, at the usual weekly covid press conference, it took a slight turn into the ''george floyd, BLM debate'' with plenty of questions in that topic by journalists here

our PM is never against demonstrations/protesting, we Always should have a right to protest in a democracy, but it should be within the 1.5 metres distance rule too
