The sacrifices so many of them made on that horrific day.
And the risks these dedicated professionals are making every day, 23 years later.
That was a great tribute the Niners paid to the officers who saved Ricky Pearsall’s life Monday.
(I know that’s not how it goes.
They were really fighting back and forth on the sidewalk.
As you might imagine, Mr. Pearsall gets the best of it.
It’s a whole other world in there.
Totally separate from the other departments.
Different types of hearings.
I didn’t exactly love it.
It’s sort of box seats to the inevitable collapse of Western Civilization.
A preview of terrible coming attractions.
Though it had its moments.
Maybe I coached him or he tried (and failed) to make my kid’s life miserable.
It can be a thankless job.
Representing some of the most troubled and underserved members of the community.
So I’d luck to cut public defender Robert Dunlap as much slack as possible.
But holy moly, is that an argument he just made.
That’s a bold claim indeed.
So you point a loaded gun as someone.
At their chest, no less.
Finger on the trigger.
The gun goes off.
And one bullet goes in the front of Pearsall’s torso and out the back.
Missing all the big, important things on the way through, just by divine providence or dumb luck.
But meaning to kill him?
Like if Pearsall didn’t resists, everything would’ve gone smooth.
Everyone would’ve come out a winner.
He had decide to go all Superfly Jimmy Snooka on everyone.
That’s an amazing case to make at a moment like this.
If an argument like that succeeds, it might create a legal precedence that changes jurisprudence forever.Mr.
It was not Mr. Oswald’s intention to kill JFK by removing 1/3 of his skull.
He was merely promoting his “Hands Off Cuba” agenda.
But hey, it’s worth a shot I suppose.
I could say “Good luck,” but I won’t because I don’t wish it.
