Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"
Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

The US Supreme Court just granted cert in Cisco v. Doe on (1) whether the Alien Tort Statute allows aiding and abetting claims & (2) whether the TVPA does.
The case could strike a major blow to human rights law.

I think the best thing to do if you're in a social media space where you have to encounter people who say stuff like "well she had it coming" is to remind them of this. Tell them you know exactly who and what they are.
