I’m hearing that he has been released as a result of the public anger

Or…the judge is a racist.

Thr judge could have ordered him released and pushed the burden of an appeal onto the state. Definitely the right thing to do when an innocent man is imprisoned.

No.

I don’t think the US signed on to that treaty, though most of the EU did

A big chunk of the US population wants dictatorship

He got zapped with a taser, so much worse than just his ears. Those things kill a modest fraction of the people who are electrocuted with them

They’re not being shipped to El Salvador with no recourse to the US courts though, which is what’s starting to happen.

US policing is already brutal, but is in theory somewhat constrained by the legal system. What’s going on is tossing out those few, imperfect constraints

The Apple thing happened after the policy changes that the above post was about though.

In practice, what I’ve seen people do is to use large crowds. I haven’t yet seen any overt use of guns for that kind of defense.

That’s remarkably hard to do in any kind of reliable way. ICE snatches are fast, and the odds of being there with a gun and recognizing what’s going on are low. The odds of shooting somebody by mistake are high.

To date things like handing out red cards has been far more effective
