There's another then, that is on city property.

Washing dishes and reusables makes sense bc they are well reusables. That’s why plastic bags are better than paper (reusables are the best) because plastic bags generally get reused.

I totally agree. I’m not for the death penalty. But I understand why it’s there. It’s the public’s desire to have the last word.

i never have, but i would definitely be open to expanding my portfolio!

hi! yes i would love to! i don’t know how to dm on here😅

yes!!!

i would absolutely love both of those!!

Killing the guy also won’t bring back the officer…just increases the total body count from the incident

Seems unlikely they’ll actually pursue the death penalty, they know that makes convictions more complicated. Most likely using the threat of it for a plea to life instead.

18 PaC.S 505 Use of Force in Self Protection

Limitations on justifying necessity of use of force:

• 18 PaC.S 505(b)(1)(i) - The use of force is not justifiable under this section; to resist an arrest which the actor knows is being made by a peace officer, although the arrest is unlawful.
• 18 PaC.S 505(b)(2) - The use of deadly force is not justifiable under this section unless the actor believes that such force is necessary to protect himself against death, serious bodily injury, kidnapping or sexual intercourse compelled by force or threat.

Johnathan Morris was not under arrest and neither officer had their weapons drawn when they approached Morris. Under Chapter 5, it was not lawful to use any force against McKeesport Officers even if they were affecting an arrest and there was no possible way that, even in crisis, he could articulate that his belief that Officers were trying to kill him was reasonable.

There is no self-defense justification for his actions.

It also seems like two different issues. Giving the suspect life won’t bring back victims killed by cops, and putting cops in jail won’t bring back this officer. Keep your eye on the ball.

Really good for the Pistons too

Go ahead and feel free to cite a source that says a few mL of water are what makes or breaks the economics of recycling.

There's no world in which people aren't washing their dishes. Even if we cut down on other forms of consumption, our reusable containers need to be washed.

Not sure. I think It's private property I'm pretty sure it's never been fully excavated and confirmed. I think it's kept on the down low purposely but when I was growing up in BH everyone knew about it. I always found it interesting that it lines up pretty well with the mound in McKees Rocks and probably had a clear line of sight if it was clear of trees.

The problem with the death penalty isn’t that convicted criminals won’t have the chance to repent and better themselves.

The real horror of the death penalty is that innocent people get convicted of crimes they didn’t commit. Death is absolute. You can’t commute a sentence and award damages to a wrongfully convicted person if you kill them.

The system is flawed, it’s is created and run by humans who are flawed, and we know some unacceptable amount of innocent people are in prison. Some of those people are on death row.

I would rather have all of the atrocious criminals, spend life in prison, than have one innocent person committed to death. that innocent person could be your coworker, or childhood friend, or sibling, or you…. or your child.

Until our criminal justice system can operate at 100% effectiveness, the permanency of a death sentence is unacceptable.

Cop shoot’s man, paid administrative leave. Man shoots cop, death penalty. This seems problematic.

Except I wasn't talking about how they were sentenced.

That’s quite the hope in our prison system lmao Maybe if we focused on prevention & rehabilitation instead of punishment we would get more people that become better. But a life prison sentence isn’t gonna do that either Bc it’s still more of a punishment than a rehabilitation lol

That would do nothing to solve the established issues surrounding the death penalty. Life in prison is already a nightmare with virtually no practical safeguards from systemic abuse. There's nothing to stop anyone from being coerced or "convinced" into a choice.

Imagine this guy gets the "death if you want it" penalty". The guy becomes marked and is known to the C.O.s as "the guy we can legally kill if we make his life miserable enough".

If that sounds good to you, then I mean sure, great plan. But you're just adding more steps to the process in order to create an illusion so we can pretend we're somehow progressing in criminal justice.

Violent crimes against peace officers are indeed prosecuted more harshly, not because of the DA, but because those are the statutes on the books federally and in literally every state

How about we do the cops killing civilians first then we can talk.
