Gun man with gun threatens Governor, arrested, posted bail, & shows up again with a bigger gun
#Wisconsin is wild! How was he not detained without bail the first time‽
👉🏾 Man with a #gun demands to see Wisconsin governor, is arrested, and returns with rifle https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/10/05/evers-wisconsin-rifle/
If I had done this (I would not FWIW), I would have been killed by the cops & my body would be outlined in chalk!
This is not a #GunControl 🆚 #GunRights debate. This is a failure of police debate!

I'm curious what the criteria are. My understanding the seriousness of the crime isnt as big a factor as flight risk, etc... but I could be dead wrong there. But if Chauvin could get bail for strangling a person slowly in front of a crowd this isnt surprising.
And yea its amazing ANYONE survived suicide by cop on this one.
That said why do you think its a failure of police? The police dont get to set bail, they arrested him, twice, with no deaths.. sounds like the police did their job correctly (for once) and if we blame anyone its the judge who issued the bail... or perhaps you had a different point?
Yes it is considered a serious crime... But 1st degree murder, the most serious crime of all, still gets you bail.
Innocent until proven guilty, no matter how serious the crime they cant treat you like your guilty and deny you bail before there is even a trial.
@freemo Perhaps #Wisconsin has different laws, but in most US states I have traveled through or lived in, showing up with a gun (without permission) at the state capital is considered a serious crime—especially if you are considered a potential threat to a politician.
