    Next door neighbor of mine was legit in bad physical shape and she could no longer mow her yard. I basically mowed her yard for free. The neighborly thing to do, right? Well…yes. This stretched on for about 5/6/7 years which I didn’t mind. She was going through a rough patch in her life health wise and I wanted to help. And, I love to mow. It all came to an abrupt end when I showed up to mow earlier because ai wanted to beat the incoming rain. Smart, right? Well…..yeah. Right after ai got started she came out and was fuming. Why am I mowing earlier than usual. Why didn’t I text her that I was going to mow earlier (I did but you know how technology is. Somehow she didn’t receive my text). I finally asked her if she just wanted me to stop and she said yes. A few stripes in and I was done. Forever. It doesn’t stop there. She used to be very friendly with me but after that incident she would never acknowledge me if we are outside at the same time and when I would just be friendly and say hi to her, she would give a short “hey” or grunt a bit. Fine. I mowed her damn yard for as long as I did and NEVER asked for money. Used my gas and my equipment. This is the thanks I get. What’s wrong with just paying me in kindness? Act like we used to act before that incident?? Guess that’s too much to ask of some people. Fk her….

      Yeah, I was 2/3 through mowing a yard with bomb craters, The ground hogs had undermined the hill in the front. The branches in the back yard hadn't been picked up in three years. If I had a $6000 mower, I wouldn't use it on this yard.
      The home owner came out complaining.
      She complained I was using too small of a mower and making the lawn bad. She said the next door neighbors house looks better because they use a bigger mower.
      I refrained from saying the next door neighbors gutters weren't hanging down 2 feet, and they didn't have a rusting 36 year old car in the driveway unregistered for 8 years.😅

    You’re absolutely correct; our judicial system and political systems are completely corrupt. Both systems are run by attorneys; do some research…
    Our judicial system no longer is common law based (written law), but rather on case law. Attorneys point to other cases that would benefit their case, which may have little to do with common (written) law.
    Cases are predetermined in the judge’s chambers, which is not only unprofessional and unethical, but also illegal, but it happens every day; just watch for yourself and see…
    If a person follows the stream of money…it tends to flow to the winning side…
    This isn’t the America that I knew, served for, and pay a daily price for…which makes me question why I served and am paying such a price. Although, I have brothers and sisters who have given more and many families that have lost loved ones (Gold Star Families). I salute them! ❤

    I put in hundreds of hours doing sandbagging efforts during the 2022 floods in northern MN. I housed dozens of volunteers on top of used my business equipment and crews to do everything I could to save people and their homes. I ended up loosing my business because of the time and money that I invested into that. I almost ended up in bankruptcy. FEMA released funds but I was told by the local politicians that I saved to many homes so I was not going to get any of the worker money. The city and county would have made more money if more houses would have been destroyed. They didn’t care about the people and the people didn’t end up caring about me.

    I had wacky neighbors at my previous house. Their teenage son was fighting or doing something in his room while his parents weren't home and he broke the window and cut himself up pretty good. I wrapped his arm up and taped the window up so bugs didn't get in. That doesn't have anything to with it but just odd stuff happened over there.
    They owned a cell phone store at the time. It was about 30 miles away and wanted it rekeyed. I told them I would send one of my guys. They just pay him his rate and I wouldn't make anything off of it. They asked me if they could pay for it when they got an insurance reimbursement. I told them I was givng them a break and I would have to pay him and wait for the money. I flat out told them I wasn't a bank. That pissed me off and I never sent anyone. Another time they had a broken sprinkler pipe so the husband called and asked how to fix it. I said sure I told him what to do and offered my tools and repair kit. He says "Oh I was hoping you would just do it". That never happened either. They finally moved. The wife had a clothing store and the place got busted for selling pot out of it. lol Two winners those two.

The pay isn't so good. Healthcare costs keep rising. Health care coverage keeps lessening. Pensions are pretty much a thing of the past. And now many LEO's are no longer indemnified. And sill these new officers signed on to serve and to try to make a difference. They deserve a great big Thank You, and a lot more than they are going to receive in the future of their careers.

      @@stephengreen3566 I think that it is prudent to realize just how many citizen contacts LEO's make each day, week, month, year, etc. Last time I checked, there were about 880,000 sworn law enforcement officers in the U.S.A. Some are far removed from having much interraction with the public, but others meet dozens upon dozens of people each day over a broad array of circumstances. There are tens of millions of police contacts each day, with a few resulting in negative contacts. Some officers may make mistakes concerning video cameras, but the vast majority do it right every day and night. Video taping an officer is not illegal, as long as that video taping is not interfering or disrupting an officer's abilities to perform their duties. Many people forget that part when they shove a cell phone or camera in an officer's face while they are trying to perform their duties.
      Also... I would like to point out this fact, though it was not an issue that you brought up specifically... Law Enforcement Officers are, by law, allowed to violate the rights and liberties of a citizen at certain times. Examples of this are when an officer conducts a traffic stop, a non-consentual contact or interview, or any detainment or arrest. What people often forget is the part that the Federal Government, State Governments, and Local Governments have allowed for this exact circumstances. LEO's are allowed to deprive a citizen of their liberties when certain circumstances arise. Such circumstances could be... Local Ordinance Violations, Vehicle Code Violations, Misdemeanor Crime Violations, Felony Crime Violations, Federal Crime Violations, Public Safety Purposes, and Protective Custody. Such investigative detentions are lawful, even though a citizen is not free to leave and to be on his/her way at that time.
      Also... what most people forget is that LEO's uphold citizen's rights each day. Every time someone is victimized and an officer takes enforcement actions against a suspect, they are, in effect, upholding the rights of the victim. (They often uphold the rights of the suspect as well, for example, when we read a suspect's 'Miranda' warning. It is a notice advising the suspect of their constitutional rights.) Officers uphold citizens rights each day, without most citizens even realizing that it is being done over and over again. They only focus on the negative.

    Hey Stanley. I've been watching your videos for over three years. I discovered your channel when I searched the definition of a term you explained in a video. I searched it because it came up in a question when I was practicing for the Law School Admissions Test.
    I have since then graduated from law school, though I have yet to take the bar and become licensed.
    I say all this because I know you're a smart man and because I might be able to provide some insight into some of the things you mentioned here.
    First of all, it really sucks that you were sued by your neighbor, but as you admit, you were wrong not to ask your neighbor. Private property carries with it some of the strongest and strictest protections under the law. What you described here is called treble damages and in most jurisdictions it's usually available when the defendant was especially reckless or caused some special irreparable harm.
    Imagine that you wanted your backyard to stay untouched. You wanted it to be overgrown with trees and weeds and whatnot because you liked everything to be "natural." One day, your neighbor decides he wants to help you out. He waits till you're gone and then crosses over to remove the weeds and trim your grass. He even goes the extra mile and gifts you some tools to tend to it yourself. Better yet, he even builds you a tool shed! He has "improved" your land and probably increased your property value. Still, you are furious that someone would do this to your land. They've ruined what it was for you. Not only that, but they trespassed on your land.
    Imagine even worse: instead of a shed, they built a 30-foot sculpture of Adolf Hitler. It's concrete and will be expensive to remove. Shouldn't you be able to sue them and recover for these damages to your land and your right to exclude? Absolutely. The actual damages part is intuitive, but the right to exclude is even more important. The right to exclude is the core of personal property rights, and it is damaged even if no physical harm is done. It is only worse when the land is left altered. Any change at all is damage, no matter how desirable it might seem. Whether you merely drank a beer on his side of the fence and hurt nothing, or built him a pool, or cut his grass, or spray painted a penis on the front door, when done without permission, all these activities violate the rights of your neighbor. The only thing that differs is how much you'll have to pay for what youve done.
    There's an old saying that anyone who represents themselves has a fool for a client. It's absolutely true. Even lawyers are bad at representing themselves. Get a lawyer!
    As for the GF documentary and trial bits, I think you again misunderstand what the law is and how it works. People are prone to bias-that bias makes us likely to interpret information in a way that fits our world view. Worse, it even makes us give weight to things that are not relevant, or weigh something heavily that should be a small consideration and vice versa. This is why we have rules of evidence. They are very strict and require sharp attention to logic. They counteract a lot of potential bias by not allowing it to occur in the first place. They also ensure that only reliable evidence may be considered.
    The rules of evidence are why your judge didn't want to see your video. Your video was likely not admissible on the grounds of hearsay and/or lack of relevance (evidentiary relevance has a precise meaning).
    Let's talk about the knee on neck technique. First of all, the manual said that an officer should move the person to a different position when they are able to, to prevent asphyxiation. But even if it didnt say that, it is not relevant to the case for murder.
    Imagine this: the manual says that police officers may commit murder in their discretion, and a police officer walks up to a random person on the side of the street and purposely shoots them in the head, killing them. Is the manual a defense to this murder? Does it matter whether a manual said what he could do, when considering whether a murder occurred? No! Of course not. It's murder. But the average juror would not run through all these considerations when deciding guilt. We're emotional and biased creatures who often act on feelings first and logic later. Most people would not realize that the hypothetical i just mentioned and the situation in the GF case are exactly the same in the ways that matter. The same is true in either case: the contents of the manual are not relevant to whether a murder occurred.
    Our justice system is extremely flawed. Every justice system that has ever existed is and probably always will be. But our justice system also has many brilliant solutions for many extremely complex problems. I'd encourage you and everyone to learn more about it when you can and consider the full picture before concluding a judge is "corrupt." The law is like an iceberg. Most people only see the surface and then scream corruption when it rips their ship in half.

      I've not seen the documentary so I'm not disputing anything you said. And I'm not surprised that their handbook would include dangerous techniques.

They will break your grandma's arm if she tries to swat a bug off her face and charge her with resisting.
      St. Paul, Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park PD also look to escalate any chance they get. Not every officer in those departments is a brute, but you never know what your going to get.
      The riots happened because people are sick of police harassing and assaulting law abiding residents, while ignoring gangs selling drugs in the open. The Floyd death was the straw that broke the camel's back. MPD has been thuggish for decades, is just now people have cameras.
