City sues BLM for damages and attacks' on police

 The Lid:

The City of Detroit has filed a civil lawsuit against Black Lives Matter, claiming the outfit created a “civil conspiracy” to destroy the city in riots.  Detroit sues Black Lives Matter.

The Detroit BLM group named called Detroit Will Breathe filed a lawsuit against the city government and the Detroit Police Department in August, claiming cops ‘repeatedly responded with violence’ when they took to the streets. In September, a temporary order was handed down by a liberal judge to prevent the Detriot Police from using batons, shields, rubber bullets, and other use of force.

The city counter-sued, saying  demonstrators “have repeatedly turned violent, endangering the lives of police and the public.” Per the suit, during the four protests in Detroit, officers reportedly sustained injuries like “cracked vertebrae, lacerations, and concussions.” In the countersuit, Detroit also denies every allegation presented by the initial lawsuit drafted by the activists.

Per Fox News:

The city claims the activists participated in the conspiracy, “defamed” the mayor and police, and contends that the city should be awarded damages, The Intercept reported.

The city cites four protests that occurred in the city this year, and alleges that injuries to police officers included “cracked vertebrae, lacerations, and concussions,” according to the report.

The repeated violence should negate BLM protest group Detroit Will Breathe’s claims that the demonstrations should be protected under the First Amendment, the city asserts, the report said.

What should have happened is that the Trump administration should have designated BLM as a domestic terror group.

...

I have often wondered why this group has not been sued by victims of their alleged rioting and looting. BLM has raised millions so you would think those whose stores have suffered arson and looting at the hands of rioters who claim to represent the group should have a cause of action.  The cities where these crimes have taken place also have a claim for damage to city property and harm to city employees.

I think stores that were victimized by these riots could pursue a class action against BLM.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
