Canada has jury trials don't they? Arrest is means suspicion, doesn't mean a conviction will happen especially with a sympathetic jury. On the other hand, the US's rule of law has kinda been falling apart. They could get murdered while in pre-trial detention.
Arrest means the arresting officer has probable cause to believe that a crime occurred. In this case, with two individuals dead outside of a house's entry, the door having bullet holes that have markings consistent with bullets traveling in directions into the house and out of it, and the ring camera evidence, I'd say it would be ridiculous to have any belief that the homeowner committed a crime.
Yep, but going through those motions is enough to ruin someone’s life because of ruining their employment prospects because of their name being associated with horrific crimes, even if they are entirely innocent.
Arresting someone because a crime may have occurred, without there being evidence to determine such, is not great, especially when there’s video proof that it was self defense. It’d now be up to a jury putting the home owner under a microscope to determine if the homeowner made the correct split-second decisions in a situation so stressful they can’t even imagine what it’s like because they never lived through it.
Exactly, I defended myself against a bully in school and the fucking school admin called the police on me. Fuck everyone involved with that school admin. ACAB.
I was like 17, I was not born in this country.
I was so lucky that my mother naturalized as a US Citizen (edit: because Child Citizenship Act automatically made me a Citizen so I don't have to do Naturalization myself), because imagine having to explain to the USCIS Natualization officer about the arrest record. Because they ask about all arrests, as in: any that ever happened, including those that did not result in convictions, or even crimes that were sealed expunged, or pardoned. They can see those records so lying is pointless (and they could retroactively revoke any immigration benefits obtained when they find out in the future).
"Innocent until proven guilty" yea right, totally. If you are white and citizen at birth, maybe, cuz otherwise they can fuck over your life, tell you to go to a country you've never been in for a decade.
Fuck CCP for ruining my birth country. Fuck USCIS, fuck ICE, fuck conservatives. So many adversaries I have to deal with in this fucked up universe.
Yep, I defended myself against an intellectually disabled bully who bit me randomly, the teachers high fived him, and I got suspended for the day. I was super young at the time, but I still remember it vividly, and now that I'm older I'm lucky that it wasn't worse and that they didn't try calling the police on me at the time even though I was only defending myself but it was still a fucked up situation regardless.
