Police Union Threatens Quentin Tarantino With 'Surprise'

[branford]

75. The actual side of law?

Based on the information provided, the police and the various police unions have violated no law or collective bargaining agreement, no matter now much you wish it were otherwise. That's why we've heard of no investigations by any federal, state or local authorities, or even the threat of such investigations, even in the most anti-police jurisdictions.

You and others can wrap yourselves in knots trying to justify racketeering, civil rights or other causes of action, but to anyone with actual knowledge of the law, it just seems foolish and desperate at this juncture.

As I indicated before, I don't like the police threats. However, my defense of constitutional and labor rights far outweighs any ideological objection I have with the content of this specific police protest, particularly because I understand that in the near impossible circumstance where some of the ideas proposed in this thread ever came to fruition, it would be legally devastating to all of labor, and welcome by Republicans as they used it to bludgeon unions across the country. If you want inaccurately characterize this as defending the police position in their dispute with Tarantino, so be it.

Your "actual side of law" is nothing more than your faith, opinion and hope. Do not expect any legal action against the police unless circumstances dramatically change. If you want to counter the police speech and conduct, organize and counter-protest
