Question: The administration is cutting a lot of funding for medical research….
RFK JR: We are not cutting science. We are not cutting research. There were some studies paused… We cut DEI studies. We cut $600 million of autism genetics studies. Genes do not cause epidemics… We’re taking the money away from those hoax studies

@Jim_Jordan What? Trump is treated exceptionally well by the press. He gets a pass on pretty much everything.

@Maga_Trigger Gunshots leave evidence like scars. So, he wasn’t shot.

@ByronDonalds @GatorsMBK This entire post is incredibly tone-deaf and out of touch. Ballrooms? How about providing basic needs to citizens.

State Dinners are held in tents with porta-potties.
In May, the East Room couldn't hold all the attendees for the @GatorsMBK celebration.
This is untenable, unfitting of American greatness, & a ballroom should've been built YEARS AGO.
Democrats are outraged again over NOTHING.

@brianskellenger @iAnonPatriot @ICEgov He needs to be charged. This isn’t a war zone. What’s he thinking?

Federal Charges:
Excessive Use of Force (18 U.S.C. § 242 - Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law): If the officer’s action violates constitutional rights (e.g., Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches/seizures), this federal statute applies. Penalties include up to 10 years in prison, or life if bodily injury or death results. The officer must act "willfully" (intentional violation), which requires evidence of malice or recklessness.
Assault with a Dangerous Weapon (18 U.S.C. § 111): Pointing a gun without justification can be construed as assaulting a federal officer’s authority or an individual, carrying up to 20 years if bodily harm occurs. This applies if the act intimidates or threatens.
Civil Rights Violation: Under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (via Bivens actions against federal officers), the officer could face liability for constitutional violations, though criminal charges require DOJ prosecution.
State and Local Charges:
Assault or Aggravated Assault: Most states (e.g., California Penal Code § 240/245) define pointing a firearm as assault if it creates reasonable fear of harm, even without firing. Aggravated assault (with a deadly weapon) can carry 1-9 years, depending on intent and injury.
Menacing or Brandishing a Weapon: In states like Texas (Penal Code § 42.01) or New York, displaying a firearm to intimidate without legal cause is a misdemeanor (up to 1 year) or felony if intent is proven.
Dual Jurisdiction: Federal officers can be prosecuted under state law if their actions violate state criminal statutes, as confirmed by cases like United States v. Classic (1941). The Supremacy Clause (U.S. Const. Art. VI) doesn’t shield them from state charges for personal misconduct. However, the Department of Justice (DOJ) often claims preemption, requiring state prosecutors to coordinate with federal authorities.
Conditions for Charges:
No Reason: If body camera footage, witnesses, or lack of probable cause (e.g., no immigration violation or threat) show the action was unjustified, charges are viable. ICE policy requires firearms use only when there’s an imminent danger (ICE Use of Force Policy, 2019, updated 2023).
Intent: Prosecutors must prove the officer acted knowingly or recklessly, not mistakenly (e.g., misidentified threat).
Can the Officer Be Charged at State and Local Levels?
Yes, but with limitations:
State and local authorities can file charges (e.g., assault) if the incident occurs within their jurisdiction and meets state law criteria. For example, a 2022 case in Arizona saw an ICE officer charged with aggravated assault after drawing a gun on a citizen during a mistaken raid.
Federal Preemption: The DOJ may intervene, citing ICE’s federal role, and could assume prosecution or dismiss state charges to avoid overlap. This requires coordination under the 1994 Violent Crime Control Act, which allows state action against federal officers for crimes.
Practical Hurdles: Local DAs may hesitate due to political pressure or ICE’s immunity claims, but successful prosecutions have occurred (e.g., 2019 California case, officer convicted of brandishing).
Civil Court and Attacking the Officer’s Bond
Civil Lawsuit Against the Officer:
Bivens Claim: You can sue the officer personally for constitutional violations (e.g., excessive force) in federal court, seeking damages. Qualified immunity may protect unless the action was clearly unconstitutional.
State Tort Claims: Assault, battery, or intentional infliction of emotional distress claims can be filed in state court, bypassing immunity if proven malicious.
Damages: Compensation could range from $10,000-$500,000+ depending on injury, trauma, or lost wages, per 2023 civil case averages.
Attacking the Officer’s Bond:
Bond Context: If the officer is arrested and posts bail, the bond (set by a judge, e.g., $10,000-$50,000 for assault) can be challenged in criminal court via a motion to increase if deemed insufficient

@RepOgles I think most people would prefer to deport you. Do your job and reopen the government. Release the Epstein files too.

@Old_SchoolEddie You sound stupid. Actually do some research before you embarrass yourself 🥴

Trump: AOC is low IQ. If you give her an IQ test, have her pass like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. Those are very hard… They're really aptitude tests, in a certain way, but they're cognitive tests. Let AOC go against Trump.
The first couple of questions are easy. A tiger, an elephant, a giraffe..

@badhombre So invest 20 billion and get 2 billion? Am I understanding that correctly? Sounds like losing.

@DesireeAmerica4 Why aren’t Republicans at work, negotiating. It’s their job.
