Cop Videotaped Assaulting Unarmed Teenage Girl

When one is a high profile individual, in a position of authority and responsibility, then they must be explicitly clear about separating their personal opinions from their professional authority.

And even then, it may not be enough and they may have no prerogative to express their opinions. Some positions assume indefinite representation and responsibility. A school principal is one of them. It's almost a 24/7 job.

Judges also think along they same lines when giving out sentencing after a trial verdict. They factor into account an accused's authority or community position with respect to the weight of a crime. For example, If you're a teacher taking part in illegal activity that gets high school students into College, then the law comes down tougher on you. If you're a politician involved in soliciting prostitution, then the hammer should come down hard on you. (It doesn't because of positive wealth discrimination in the US legal system.)

Well, even if a person did not commit a criminal act in expressing their personal opinions, they still have to account for it when facing the public.

Why do I say that?

Any organization can be viewed as a super-organism consisting of members. And if the organization feels that the individual is a detriment to its survival and reputation, it has every right to act in its interest by letting that person go.

That is the reality and is also the way it should be.

What is illegal and impermissible is violence committed as a result of free speech. Everyone has the right to free speech without threat of violence or death.

 

Gotta spread some more rep around. But you are directly on point with this.

I'd definitely coin the phrase 'Trial by Twitter'

 

England definitely has stricter libel and speech laws. I wonder if the rest of Europe is the same.

 

Honestly tho....mob rule, Facebook and twitter trials be jamming people up

It's only a matter of time before I'm in the clink

 

You'd better get right with the Lord and get your house in order, lol.

 

Indeed. But Supremes overruled Texas and 5th Circuit in this 'cop shoots unarmed black boy in his driveway in front of his parents because cop mis-typed license plate # and wrongly thought car was stolen."

Thank God the Supremes paying attention. Here's the story:
