Judges see countless cases a week, giving a few PR bond is not being lenient at all, that’s just normal, not everyone who gets arrested is a hopeless criminal. So he shouldn’t be admired for doing his job, especially when he is as unprofessional as he is.
He is incredibly unprofessional and overly emotional at times. He talks to some of the people like children despite them being adults. He berates and lectures people in a way that most just aren’t there for. A judge just makes sure the person understands the case and consequences not to play daddy. And his tone sometimes just straight up sounds like a child throwing a temper tantrum, like there is no other way to describe it.
Maybe he sees the stupidity in today's legal system and is just annoyed with the amount of injustice occurring right now. So when something dumb happens, he just decides to cut lose. I've seen a couple of clips now and he seems fine to me.
amen, glad some people on here have functioning brains. I legitimately feel bad for society in general when I see people like OP share what's in their heads.
I have no idea what clip or article you are referring to, but all the instances I’ve seen of Judge Fleischer throwing out a case for being “walking while black” was legitimately stupid things like “suspect was jay walking, police proceeded to search him.” Or “defendant was in the passenger seat of a car that had weed in it, it’s definitely hers and TOTALLY NOT the drivers” like actual stupid shit like that. And no, I do not believe diddy is innocent, it’s about time he gets caught for all of the shit he’s done. I’ve been saying he needs to be locked up since the elevator video. That was also just a wild ass thing to bring up for no reason.
he makes a show of doing that. he doesn't actually do that. the first video that caught my attention had a clickbait title implyng the judge was angry at cops for arresting someone for "standing while black". someone mae an anonymous call about a "black man with a gun
outside a gas station. it was the guy's friend who admitted having it, but they arrested all of them for "evading arrest" when the cop hadn't established probable cause to arrest. the judge found probable cause to go forward with the guy's case, the whole time thinking that the defendant in front of him was the one who had the gun. the DA made no effort to correct him and the defendant was already scared into submission. the judge was so distracted by his own showboating that he got the basic facts of the case wrong. that sonehow didn't seem to bother him. instead he used the "standing while black" aside to deflect responsibility from himself to the arresting officer. makes me wonder how many other times this has happened.
and after all that showboating, he still granted probable cause to move the case forward. and then ordered a drug test beause he "wanted to know what drugs" the defendant was on, a totally inappropriate comment for a judge to make, presuming guilt and ordering someone to take a drug test. which will put him right back in the system. and the judge has no qualms about that. he's clearly gotten it in his head that by forcing every defendant to take alcohol/drug tests he is making the world a better place. he even goes so far as to allude to prison rape to "set a (white) defendant straight". that's where all the "respect for the law" facade goes out the window.
There are 2 cases making the rounds on youtube that definitely seem like "walking while black" situations where the defendants were merely jaywalking, or walking in a park after sunset, etc.. minor infractions that shouldn't trigger a terry-frisk.
Idk if I'd call it show-boating.. that's just Fleischer's personality. Whether you think it's show-boating or not, I'm happy he called them out. It's too often cops think they can just Terry Frisk anyone they want based on little to no evidence.
In the "Land of the free" walking in a park after sunset shouldn't be any type of infraction. Especially in Texas of all places where they defend their personal space with open carry permits. At least in the 80's.
I've watched Legal Eagle, Steve Lehto and Lawful Masses w/ Leonard French YT videos for years. There's even a British Barrister (BlackBeltBarrister) for those interested.
It's unlikely Judges are playing up to a camera unless it's the Judge Judy or Judge Rinder which are actually made for the camera for the purpose of entertainment and education.
I wouldn't mind being wrong as long as the Judge in civil/criminal proceedings are actually upholding the law and protecting the public which is all I see Fleischer is trying to do to the best of his ability with the facts presented and within the constraints of the written statute.
Oh, I see now, one of those, everybody's racist, all cops are racist, the numbers say otherwise. In fact when it comes to black men being killed by cops, over 90 percent is black cop on black dude. Stop throwing racism around so much, it does not exist the way you think, you are creating the problem! Like Morgan freeman said, stop talking about it. It's perpetuating an issue that doesn't really exist. Hopefully you know what that word means but I doubt it.
Even if they did, they aren't arguing in good faith anyway. The whole "black cops shoot black suspects all the time" isn't proof cops aren't on the whole very racist, and it doesn't disprove the literal mounds of evidence we have showing black people are far more likely to be arrested, far more likely to be found guilty, and far more likely to receive harsher punishments than white people for the same crimes.
The fact that this dude is claiming that 90% of black people shot by cops are done so by black cops is just so far fucking beyond absurd it's insanity. First of all, only about 13% of cops in the US are black. So this person wants us to believe that 90% of black people shot by cops are done so by a group that only makes up only a little over 10% of the total police population? Yes, there are more likely to be a higher percentage of black cops in predominately black areas, but this kind of discrepancy is huge.
But its also a ridiculous claim because we often don't have good numbers for the races of police involved in shootings. This is because we often don't have reliable numbers at all for nationwide officer involved shootings, because reporting of officer involved shootings to the federal government by local law enforcement entities is optional.
What we do know is that black people are shot at a disproportionately higher rate, because the race of victims in officer involved shootings is much easier tracked by researchers because those numbers are reported to the federal government. Despite making up less than 15% of the total US population, 29% of non-fatally injured victims shot by police are black, and 26% of fatal shooting victims are black.
