I hope he is personally sued for emotional distress amongst other things. Big egos need to be shown the door.
The girl’s mother, Latoreya Till, said she may have been tired because they don’t have a permanent address. King told TV stations that he apologized.
Till has filed a lawsuit, seeking more than $75,000 for “inflicting fear and severe emotional distress.”
Seems to be the case according to the article.
We really don’t want to live in a world where judges have to fear making decisions.
This is bad. That would be much worse.
Edit ITT: People who desperately need to pick up a history book
We absolutely do want to live in a world where judges have to fear making decisions like putting innocent teenagers into jail clothes and handcuffs.
How dare people be held accountable?
Right. And maybe if judges were held accountable in this country more often, they wouldn't constantly be doing shit like this.
I think decisions they take outside their role as a judge can be punished just fine.
He didn't make that decision as a judge performing his duties, he made it as an egotistical dickhead being an egotistical dickhead
Qualifies immunity only exists for certain things. More than most would think. So if he's personally liable, I'm in favor of it.
Cops, judges, and other government officials need to... I dunno, be familiar with the Constitution they likely swore to support.
No one is above accountability.
It’s not like this was a case that was brought before him. He didn’t have to decide anything.
Just like you didn’t have to decide to be a condescending prick when people started disagreeing with you.
You're the one arguing that people in positions of power shouldn't be held accountable if they abuse their power.
Typical liberal “rules for me but not for thee” BS. And to top it off, you add the cute little sneer at the end as an edit.
Christ you people are predictable.
A .ml accusing anyone they disagree with of being a liberal and blaming others of being predictable. Classic.
Liberal? Really?
Liberal? That's generally more conservative behavior. But only because conservatives lean more authoritarian which is where that behavior actually stems from, not political leaning.
