I Hope Smartmatic Sues The Smithereens Out Of Fox News

The election technology company Smartmatic pushed back Monday against Fox News’ argument that it had covered the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election responsibly, stating that Fox anchors had played along as guests pushed election-related conspiracy theories.

“The First Amendment does not provide the Fox defendants a get-out-of-jail-free card,” Smartmatic’s lawyer, J. Erik Connolly, wrote in a brief filed in New York state Supreme Court. “The Fox defendants do not get a do-over with their reporting now that they have been sued.”

U.S. Army lieutenant files suit against two Virginia police officers for assault during traffic stop

U.S. Army lieutenant files suit against two Virginia police officers for assault during traffic stop

A U.S. Army lieutenant filed a lawsuit against two Virginia police officers over what court papers say was a violent traffic stop, where officers pointed their guns, knocked him to the ground, pepper-sprayed him and "threatened to murder him."

Didn't the police officer have to release the safety on the gun and then pull the trigger?

If, as a trained professional charged with protection of others, you can't tell the difference between a gun and a taser IN THAT MOMENT WHEN IT MATTERS THE MOST, then you shouldn't be allowed to carry either.
