Episode notes
How Garner Changed Use-Of-Force Law
- The 1985 Supreme Court ruling (Garner) restricted deadly force against fleeing suspects to imminent threats only.
- That decision shifted the burden from criminals to police/citizens and, per Walsh, increased criminal impunity and danger.
Space Force Veteran's Fatal Chase
- Matt Walsh recounts the July 5, 2023 incident where Space Force veteran Orris Schur chased car thieves and shot them.
- Schur killed 14-year-old Xavier Kirk and later received a 54-year sentence in Colorado.
Disparity In Sentencing Practices
- Walsh argues prosecutorial and judicial discretion is applied unequally, favoring violent offenders over defenders.
- He highlights sentencing disparities where killers sometimes receive far lighter punishments than Schur.
