An update to a previous News Views article:
Citing Special Counsel’s pro forma “conferral” to be wholly lacking in substance and professional courtesy, Trump judge and acting criminal defense attorney, Judge Aileen Cannon denied without prejudiced Special Counsel Jack Smith’s motion to modify TFG’s condition of release.
The basis for Trump’s claim is standard language in the raid’s operation order that said agents “may use deadly force only when necessary, that is, when the officer has a reasonable belief that the subject of such force poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer or to another person.”
Once again for KKKlueless MAGAts:
1-16.100 - BACKGROUND
It is the policy of the Department of Justice to value and preserve human life. Officers may use only the force that is objectively reasonable to effectively gain control of an incident, while protecting the safety of the officer and others, in keeping with the standards set forth in Graham v. Connor, 490 U.S. 386 (1989). Officers may use force only when no reasonably effective, safe, and feasible alternative appears to exist and may use only the level of force that a reasonable officer on the scene would use under the same or similar circumstances.
