Many California firms will have to increase the diversity of their boards of directors under a new law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom.Atty. Gen. Xavier Becerra opposed versions of the bill giving his office responsibility for investigating fatal shootings by police and blocked similar proposals in previous years, on the grounds that his office lacks the funds or personnel needed to take over from hundreds of local law enforcement agencies.
Under another new law, suspects may be entitled to new trials or sentences if they can demonstrate that any part of their case, from arrest to sentencing, was tainted by racial bias. Among other things, defendants can try to show with statistics that there are systemic racial disparities in bringing certain charges or that minorities are more likely to be convicted or receive longer sentences.
“This bill gives me hope that one day we will have a justice system that deserves to have justice in its title,” said Zachary Norris, executive director of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights. The California District Attorneys Assn. objected that the law will prompt mistrials or other steps “without any showing that ... the bias has any impact whatsoever on the outcome of the trial, or that the defendant was deprived of a fair trial.”Newsom also approved a bill allowing judges, starting in 2022, to assess whether lawyers illegally exclude jurors based on their race.
Hey let’s put Newsome in a police patrol car for a day and see the crap these officers have to put up with day after day! Or what they have to see! He wouldn’t last 5 minutes!!! Newsome your a hypocrite!
Wow, choke holds are bad? Is this because of PC culture, right? People are just too addicted to breathing, just say “come over here and knell on my neck for 8 minutes”
Why not take it one step further. Like the movie 'Demolition Man' , why not just issue citations to anyone who breaks the law like, Murder-Death-Kill & have them report themselves at the local precinct for processing.
Now if they could just change to Rubber bullets
Soon the only thing police in Democrat Communist run states and cities will be permitted to use to subdue violent criminals will be silly string. Restore law and order. BackTheBlue !
