| #9 After witnessing the last 6 months of every fold being met with escalation, why would a person believe that a vote for Biden would be a return to normalcy? In fact I believe an elected Biden will cause massive riots - some in part like riots in cities when their sportsball team wins, some in part as increasing power especially politically, and then the blue areas especially the true blue places knowing that the damage is actually farming federal dollars which they get to earmark. |

| #6 #2, that's not good enough, Frank. The plaintiffs should have held out for a large cash settlement, not so much so they can profit but so the mayor and police chief can be punished. |

| #5 The political violence began (to my knowledge) with the attacking of people exiting a Trump rally in San Jose. They know a week mayor when they see one. |

| #3 A group photo in front of Liccardo's home should also have been part of the settlement. |

| #2 Screw this POS: San Jose: Lawsuit over violent Donald Trump rally settled When they were ushered outside a campaign rally, supporters of then-candidate Donald Trump didn’t expect the rally to erupt into violence. They expected their police department to protect them. But they said that’s not what happened. And now four years later, the lawsuit, filed in July 2016, was quietly settled last week. The 20 plaintiffs were not awarded any money, but as part of the March 26 settlement, the police department agreed to provide additional training to its officers on crowd control. It also specified that Mayor Sam Liccardo and Police Chief Eddie Garcia meet privately with plaintiffs to discuss the changes and apologize for how the situation played out. Liccardo issued a statement saying such violence has no place in civil society, and that it’s “all the more reprehensible” when used to intimidate or dissuade others from free speech or political expression. Liccardo also assured the “blameless individuals” who were assaulted at the Trump rally that the police department will do “everything in its power to provide a safe environment at these events.” “Where we can do better, we will learn and improve on our strategies, tactics, and planning with the goal of achieving safety for all,” he said. However, according to the order, neither party has admitted liability or responsibility. The suit originally named Liccardo and Garcia, but, after a judge dismissed charges against Garcia and attendees dropped the charges against Liccardo, it later shifted to seven other city officiers. Judge Lucy Koh, of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court, said that while the city was not liable for the incident, Garcia’s comments afterward gave weight to officers’ allegedly unlawful conduct. |
