It's scary to me that people think it's normal or not a big deal if an LE officer "displays moderate, casual racism" or considers posts about shooting people (not "stuff") merely "edgy".
Holy smokes.
I'm not saying it's normal or not a big deal, I'm saying it's not particularly relevant. Nothing about the aforementioned tells me anything new about AG's character that I already didn't know or could deduce just from the facts of the case.
Maybe tomorrow we're going to hear from the defense and hear tearful testimony from AG's family and friends about the time she got groceries for poor old granny Weatherwax who got ill and was bedridden, or how she is a great and considerate friend who donated her kidney to her best friends younger brother.
And you know what? All that would be equally irrelevant. I don't want to hear anecdotes about the time AG stole a brownie or the time she helped granny Weatherwax cross the street. When it comes to sentencing I want to hear a victim statement, general information about a defendant's life history, information regarding prior convictions (especially convictions for crimes similar to the one the defendant is being sentenced for), information about any mental illnesses and an up-to-date risk-assessment (very important!), which should all be gathered by an independent agency staffed by trained experts (social workers, psychologists and psychiatrists). All the rest is merely emotional pandering and way too open to manipulation.
