That is a pretty reasonable and just rate.
33 percent is too damn high if the success rate is 100 percent. It’s not.
Just wondering What does that second sentence mean?
Not sure how taking the fee (and probably disbursements) from settlement ( which is common in all contingency cases) makes him a softy. Do you mean he only takes expenses?
Sometimes I forget how it works for everyone else.
The particular niche that I work in (a specific sort of employment law), most of what I do falls under statutes that deviate from the “American rule,” and automatically award attorney’s fees to a victorious plaintiff, in addition to damages.
Bosun probably has enough experience with K-9 training to post with some authority instead of just armchair quarterbacking or speaking from having read a wiki page.
Some laws are there to protect “you” and "me. This is one of them. It was correct to pull him over. What was dumb was for him to take off which is what lead to the police pursuit.
What was also dumb was for the cop to release the dog. I don’t think anyone disagrees with this.
I understand that.
Would have known there was no need for the handler to bring the dog out, would have noticed the dog first going toward the officers requiring it to be redirected with a verbal command and hand motion after it had been repeatedly stated not to release the dog, and the failure to have the dog immediately stop when it went for the truck driver.
I understand all of that too, but that is entirely on the handler. That’s what I have been saying. As near as I could tell, the dog did as it was directed up until the handler and another cop had to physically pull it off the hapless truck driver.
I’d agree. It’s hard to tell over the narrative but I don’t think I heard any German commands either. All the yelling may have confused the dog if all its command training was English.

I think it was an illustration of the training technique.
K-9s are highly trained and law enforcement agencies invest a lot of time and resources to that end. We have a close friend who works K-9 and the dog is a member of their family, they have small children and the dog is comfortable around friends. When it’s time to go to work? He’s all business.

From the article:
“Despite repeated warnings from a state trooper to not release the K-9, former officer Ryan Speakman turned the dog on Rose. It’s not clear if Speakman heard the trooper’s warnings”
The handler ■■■■■■ up. State Troopers typically take command of a scene. The local in his “confused” ambition was out of his element. No way that K-9 should have been unleashed.

I have no ■■■■■ g idea, you brought It up with your insistent questions.
Yes, it looked like the dog was confused. There was nobody running away to chase down and the cops with guns in hand presented a more threatening image to the dog than the truck driver on his knees. But then he pivoted and nailed the helpless man. What occurred could even suggest that the dog is trained to attack black men who are not wearing a cop uniform.
By the way, would you edit out the “f” in my quote (as I did here) please. It makes it looks like I was saying " ■■■■ the truck driver" to anyone reading your post who doesn’t look back to read my full statement. Thanks.

It is really unfortunate what the leftist’s social myth that cops routinely kill young black men for no reason at all has done to the minds of young black men. This kid didn’t even heed his mother’s advice because he was scared that the cops were going to kill him.
"Rose told CNN that he first called his mother from the truck. “She told me if I know I didn’t do anything wrong, to pull over, so that’s what I did,” he said. Looking in his rearview mirror, he saw responding police officers “had guns pointed at me, so I didn’t feel safe at all.”
He then called 911 to ask what he should do. “I was just trying to figure out if they could help me,” he said. “I was scared, i didn’t understand why they had guns pointed at me, I didn’t know the reason for them pulling me over at the time.”
Rose, still on the phone with 911, said he drove back on the highway, continuing what became a three-county pursuit."
Had he just listened to his mama and not the message planted in his head by the leftist radicals, he’d have been just fine.
Of course, then the ninny cop with the dog tries to prove the leftist radicals right.

When I don’t understand something I ask questions. Don’t you?
He didn’t. He also did not stop for the police because he was fearful. Sspike strips stopped him. He wins no matter what. He can say anthing, even "defund the police "
I sure the ■■■■ do. And i support your questions, by the way.
For fear of sounding like a lib … It didn’t feel that way.
