Brickbat: No Regrets

A Maricopa County, Arizona, prosecutor fired for falsely charging protesters as gang members said during a disciplinary hearing before the State Bar that she did nothing wrong, even when she charged a bystander who was not part of the protest. April Sponsel said she still believes nurse Ryder Collins is part of a gang. Video evidence from both police officers and bystanders showed Collins did not take part in the protest. Sponsel dismissed testimony that Collins did not know any of the protesters and was in the area to shoot streetscape photos, which is his hobby.

In Maricopa county there are only two gangs allowed - the Maricopa Board of Supervisors and the Maricopa County Sheriff's Department. And they're allies.

These are the people that raided a newspaper and sued *the county courts*.

Fired, eh? She must not have been well liked in the office.

Since when was it illegal to be part of a protest anyways? Heck; I thought it was Constitutionally Protected by the 1st Amendment.

Just because government doesn't like being told by the people they're Fing'Up big time doesn't make it illegal here. That's a Nazi Gestapo police move.

Depends what you are protesting, and in what locale.

Everyone knows the the 8th Street Hell's Photographers are one of the most violent gangs in Arizona.

Wait, prosecutors can be sanctioned for bringing false charges? When did this happen?

Some people would rather be wrong than admit to being wrong.

[Social Justice is neither]

So which protests and protesters? Our marxist media likes to portray antifa terrorists as poor put upon protesters so was this them or something else? And to think they wouldn't lie is delusional beyond belief.

It's really getting to the point that the term "Brickbat" here at Reason is an intentionally low-information, disinformative news article rather than a criticism of some petty, nothing over-policing of some non-crime.

ATTORNEY: There was an October 23rd meeting to discuss the case correct?
SPONSEL: Yes. The FBI task force meeting with Homeland Security yes.
ATTORNEY: So, we’re talking Gilbert Police Department, Phoenix Police Department, Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, your superiors, the FBI, and the Department of Homeland Security as sources you had to consider?
SPONSEL: Correct.
--
ATTORNEY: Did the group reach a consensus?
SPONSEL: Everybody was on board.

Feels a bit like Sund's resignation on the 7th.

[Don't look at me!]

This is why you can’t have chicks in charge of things.

Craxu bitch must have thought she eas a federal prosecutor.

fine. the Board is doing nothing wrong in removing your privilege to law.

[neurodoc]

How can offialdom in Maricopa County be spending their time on matters like this when they still haven't nailed down the vote totals from November 2020?

Doublethink is a gift. Looter politicians must select for it when hiring prosecutors to ruin people under color of sumptuary laws and political letters of marque aimed at competitors.
