    There is wishful thinking, and our own biases about this case, but I feel like if the current story were true, we wouldn’t be splitting hairs about Miranda rights. And to be very clear, from what I understand,supreme court precedent, specifically New York v. Quarles, it has been already established that you don’t actually have to be read your Miranda rights if there is a public safety exception. I imagine that will be main counter argument.

    Please correct me if I’m wrong, but this sounds like a weak argument from the people who have all the official details of the interaction and narrative they are pushing.

They have spent their whole lives thinking they are masters of the universe, and now that they have that control, all they do is fuck up their goals, because they aren’t actually the ones calling the shots, and their goals are not why they were elevated to these positions. To steal from blazing saddles.
