TFA: Greta Thunberg and four co-defendants have been found not guilty of breaking the law when they refused to follow police instructions to move on during a climate protest.
District Judge John Laws threw out a public order charge due to "no evidence" and added police attempted to impose "unlawful" conditions during a protest.
Oh so they're like to charge the cops for trying to impose unlawful conditions right? right?

I do love how the government and the police are trying to impose a police state, while at the same time having giant arguments with each other and criticizing each other even though they both want the same thing, while at the same time the courts are not having any of it from either group.
I suppose it's a good thing that these fascist idiots can't organize themselves, but I really wish they weren't in positions of authority to begin with.
This just in: cops worldwide are lying scumfucks and enemies of the people and human progress.
Errico Malatesta's "For The Higher Police Authorities" provides a very good summary of the state of the police:
That the Police are indiscreet, vexatious, evil and, when it happens, even brutal, is something that we understand: it is the profession that wants it. They have always been and will always be like that, in any regime: and therefore we must fight for their radical abolition and not for their reform. But do they really need to be also, and above all, stupid? It would seem so.
The Tuscans usually say: he who is born a fool is never cured [chi nasce bischero non guarisce più].
Once Depretis, attacked by Deputy Tajani, because there were a number of criminals in the police force, replied: "But who do you want me to put in, if the honest men don't want to do that job?" If someone reproached Giolitti, who is a rascal but not an idiot, the ineptitude of his agents, he might reply: "But what can I do if intelligent men don’t want to be policemen?"
class traitors have no moral compass? Say it isn't so.
District Judge John Laws...
Another case of nominative determinism at work?
john was born for this job.
I know a Simon Banks who works in a bank. Go figure
I had no idea what charge this was referring to. Here's the important bit from the article:
Greta Thunberg and four co-defendants have been found not guilty of breaking the law when they refused to follow police instructions to move on during a climate protest.
That's a legal way to say
Greta Thunberg: Case thrown because of 'bull shit argument made up by a stupid policeman'
The 21-year-old campaigner
It seems like she was just twelve or something yesterday. Damn, time slips by.
Hah, get fucked polluters.
I mean there were few options for a guy named “John Law” other to become a judge right?
Good work Greta!
Keep making them roll that dice
