Was just thinking this looks so much better than reddit...

actually so incredibly nice

They're there to protect the courthouse from the same people who were at Jan 6.

They prevented the Capitol Police from getting sufficient number of people and equipment without permission from Trump and he never gave it, if I remember correctly.

You should join the discussion on the very subject of the problem of US police...

Trump keeps claiming that he's being treated differently and he's right, but not in the way he means it. He's not being persecuted. He's being treated with exceptionally soft kid gloves.

He was given multiple chances to return the stuff he took. He was asked politely before a subpoena was issued. He was given time between the subpoena and the raid to turn everything over. After the raid, he wasn't immediately arrested and tossed behind bars. They even allowed him to come in and skip some procedures like being handcuffed and getting his mugshot taken.

He's been given way more considerations than anyone else who committed even remotely the number of infractions that he committed would get.

If Trump wants to not get treated differently, I'm all for it. Arrest him and toss him in jail while he waits for his trial. As a bonus, suddenly his usual tactic of delay, delay, delay won't be as attractive.

If any of us were indicted on even 1 of his 37 charges we would have been rotting in federal prison for the past 3 years

You probably wouldn't even get that far honestly. Normal people don't really have a chance in these sorts of cases.

How does the math on that work? Number of indictments / number of Presidents = 1.54 would imply that the number of times Trump has been indicted exceeds the number of Presidents the U.S. has had and that ain't right...

First off not a lawyer, so take it with a grain of salt.

Being indicted means you are formally charged with a crime. Its the process of the court saying we think you did this crime and we're starting to head towards a trial.

Arrested means that police or other law officers are taking you into custody.

Arraigned means you are brought before a judge to answer the charges. When arraigned you choose whether to plea not guilty or not.

He constantly has a secret service detail. He isn't a flight risk because he can't even try without being noticed.

I suppose he could run into his private jet and take off before they catch him, but I just can't see the man running very far or fast

I mean while he could physically fly away very easily it's unlikely he would risk losing access to his properties and accounts in the US.

I would imagine convictions related to espionage would probably strip you of any secret service protection. People argue that it's a former president's right to have SS protection, but remember the SS hasn't always been about protecting anyone, the used to only be counterfeit currency police

I hope they bring him in using the exact some methods they would use for a homeless black man.
