aparrently it's "largely advisory" and not really binding but will carry weight.

Acting under a rarely used provision of Ohio state law, a judge found probable cause Thursday to charge Cleveland police Officer Timothy Loehmann with murder in the fatal shooting of 12-year-old Tamir Rice last year.

Cleveland Municipal Court Judge Ronald Adrine also found cause to support negligent homicide charges against Officer Frank Garmback, Loehmann's partner, who is accused of standing by after Loehmann shot Tamir in November at a recreation center, where Tamir was playing with a pellet gun.

Adrine agreed with local activists known as the "Cleveland 8" who took the unusual step of independently seeking charges because, they said, they'd lost confidence in the grand jury investigation.

The ruling is only advisory and doesn't affect the separate grand jury investigation.

Adrine -- saying he wasn't performing an "end around" of the city or the county -- stressed that the choice to lodge charges remains with Cuyahoga County and Cleveland prosecutors. In a statement, county prosecutor Timothy McGinty said the grand jury would make any final decision.

Beyond the girl, he looked like an untrained fool.  He looked like he was auditioning for the lead role in Keystone Cops.

No one was even hurt, which for a cop 'scandal' is almost unheard of.

But if you compromise national security by disclosing classified material to impress a lover, it's characterized as a regrettable mistake in personal judgment.

This is what the Lord God of Israel says: 'I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul. I have given you your master's house and your master's wives into your bosom ... and I gave you the house of Israel and Judah, and as if this wasn't enough, I would have given you even more."

But, wait - there's more (bold is mine):

In the March 17 email to Maj. Osborne Robinson, Rosenblatt wrote that Mosby's office wanted to build on the success in reducing crime in the West Baltimore neighborhood through the Operation Ceasefire program by "targeting that intersection for enhanced prosecutorial (and hopefully police) attention." In that program, prosecutors, police and community groups work together to persuade criminals to reform.

On March 20, Robinson forwarded Rosenblatt's email to several Western District officers, including Lt. Brian W. Rice. He was one of the three officers who arrested Gray and one of the six later charged in Gray's arrest and death.

Robinson told Rice and the other officers to begin a "daily narcotics initiative" focused on North Avenue and Mount Street, according to the email, and said he would be collecting "daily measurables" from them on their progress.

"This is effective immediately," Robinson wrote, noting that the officers should use cameras, informants and other covert policing tactics to get the job done.

Of course Mosby would be familiar with the high crime areas, and of course she would want the police to be working with the community and the prosecutor's office to reduce crime.  You'd be all over her if she wasn't.  

But she didn't tell police how they should conduct themselves, what they should do - that came from Maj. Robinson.

Are you suggesting that as a defense, "We were asked to reduce crime, therefore it's not our fault he died while in our custody."

It instantly reminded me of THIS

worth remembering that Starsky and/or Hutch there was a 10 year veteran WHO TRAINED OTHER OFFICERS IN HOW TO RESPOND TO SITUATIONS LIKE THE ONE AT THE POOL.

While I certainly have issues with Ms. Clinton, she has been planning this for eight years, already played the game and lost once.  She is smart, which gives her an edge over any of the GOP klowns.  Now she has identified a wedge issue that the GOP will have trouble with: more people voting.

Public shaming would be an effective way to regulate the "irresponsible behavior" of unwed mothers, misbehaving teenagers and welfare recipients, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) argued in his 1995 book Profiles in Character.

Was from the onion I would have believed it.

[I note that it was a woman who drafted the original bill, and it passed easily - whatever's wrong with Jeb, he's not the only one, apparently]

The base should love this:

The bill passed overwhelmingly in the state house and by a 30-8 vote in the state senate. Bush said he decided not to veto it because Campbell told him the newspaper-reporting language would get fixed. That didn't happen. What did happen? More abortions. The Orlando Sentinel reported there were almost 2,000 more abortions in the first six months of 2002--after the legislation went into effect--than in the first six months of 2001.

One might even think that the whole abortion argument isn't about anything more then the right's absolute disgust at young un-married women being sexually active.

There is no other way to explain why they would force mothers to divulge their sexual history in order to put their babies up for adoption.  I though adoption was the cure to abortion, not the other way around.

When the confirmed bachelor was asked about having no first lady, if elected, he said he would have "...a rotating first lady."   I take it he plans on having, in the first lady position, a whirling dervish--or dervishette.  Not ready to support Lindsey for the Republican nomination, too early, since Donald Trump has not yet entered.

A candidate that the Republicans would do well to overlook and dismiss is Marco Rubio.  The austerity for thee, but not for me candidate, who is a champion of financial austerity, spending and debt, is "bedeviled by financial struggles" himself, according to the NYTimes. A rather gentle, yet devastating,  profile of  Rubio and family's personal and political finances are detailed.

 Most of his financial woes are not his fault: his mother and father, poor,immigrant parents had little money so he did not know how to manage money.  So, unschooled in the world of economics,  he did buy expensive houses with big, no money down mortgages,  and then, equity loans on top of that; lease a $50,000 2015 Audi Q7, and splurge on an $80,000 speed boat that he "could not resist."  

The use of his Republican credit card for personal expenses, such as for pavers for his front driveway was a slip up--he just took out the wrong credit card to pay; and use of the Republican credit card to pay for a family reunion in Georgia was the error of his travel agent. When brought to attention in his campaign, he repaid the amounts.

His wife has bookkeeping lapses, as well. She failed to pay annual business licensing fees to the City of West Miami, despite nine written notices and repeated phone calls to her home.  After the Times's inquiry a check arrived to the City, with apologies.  

The NYTimes article deals gingerly with Rubio's sugar dadddy, the billionaire Norman Bramam, who has, and is, bailing him out (his books, underwriting a teaching job at FIU)  However,  when Mitt Romney, he of Swiss and Cayman accounts,  flags Rubio when vetting prospective  running mates for financial issues,  it is not re-assuring.

In 2012, we spent post upon post complaining that Obama was basically better than the other option.  That he basically gave the farm away trying to be the great negotiator and failed miserably.

Yesterday, Family Research Council official Ken Blackwell explained during an anti-marriage-equality panel how anti-gay activists, just like Civil Rights Movement leaders, will resist a Supreme Court decision striking down bans on same-sex marriage, a ruling he warned will give rise to totalitarianism.

Blackwell said that how Americans respond to "a wrong decision in this marriage case" will be just as important as the nation's response to the Civil War, World War II and the September 11, 2001 attacks. Such a ruling would be "another one of those challenging moments, defining moments as to attest of how we response as a nation, but how we also respond as believers, as Christians," he said.

Arizona pastor Steven Anderson says, "I hate him with a perfect hatred."

Anderson, who predicted an "AIDS-free Christmas" if all LGBT people were put to death, explained to his congregation at Faithful Word Baptist Church that it was not wrong to pray for the deaths of your enemies - like he had done for President Barack Obama.

"I'd never even heard of him until this week," Anderson said. "Bruce Jenner has basically mutilated his body, apparently, and he's being praised by our president. Our President Obama is praising him, or praising her - we don't even know what it is. I think that (Obama) used the female pronoun about somebody named Bruce...

This person is just the evangelist of s@domy and filth to the world, and people are like, 'Oh, we need to pray for him so that he finds Jesus,'" Anderson said. "I'm going to pray that he dies and goes to Hell."
