Topic 1 concerns a recent decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Horton v. Pobjecky. Off-duty and unarmed Winnebago County (Illinois) Sheriff’s Deputy Frank Pobjecky was purchasing a pizza at Marie’s Pizzeria and talking with store manager Vincent Tarara when armed robbers Lamara Coates, Brandon Sago and Desmond Bellmon entered the pizzeria to rob them. After a struggle with the robbers and obtaining Tarara’s firearm, Deputy Pobjecky fatally shot suspect Sago in the back 3 times as Sago crawled on the ground past him headed for the door. Pobjecky also shot suspect Coates in the back as he headed towards the exit and shot suspect Bellmon too. Deputy Pobjecky locked the front door to the store from the inside and did not venture outside to render first aide to the suspects. The court dismissed a lawsuit from Sago’s estate against Deputy Pobjecky, the County Sheriff and Winnebago County alleging excessive force and lack of appropriate medical care. The court also spelled out in great detail why Deputy Pobjecky’s conduct was constitutional in all respects.
Topic 2 concerns an update on 15 surviving students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland (Florida) filing a lawsuit against Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel, Captain Jan Jordan, School Monitor Andrew Medina, Superintendent Robert Runcie and retired School Resource Officer Scot Peterson for not preventing mass shooter Nikolas Cruz from his killing spree.
Topic 3 concerns Milwaukee (Wisconsin) agreeing to pay a $3.4 million settlement to the ACLU of Winconsin in reference to a lawsuit for targeting black and Latino residents without probable cause with stop and frisk.
Topic 4 concerns President Donald Trump pardoning convicted arsonists Dwight Hammond and Steven Hammand who were convicted in 2012 and imprisoned after illegally occupying the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon for 41 days in 2016. The defendants are sons of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy.
