Ellis notes that the feds argue "plaintiffs have not been engaged in First Amendment protected activity" because they've "intermingled themselves with rioters."

"But as I've previously stated," Ellis says, "I don't find defendants' version of events credible."

Defense tells judge they want to question Lairmore about 'gag gifts' he received from fellow officers after the alleged assault, including a Subway sandwich plush toy and a patch that (unless I misheard) said 'Felony Footlong.'

Prosecutors object. Defense argues they reflect CBP 'state of mind.'

I don’t know if it’s any better than “encourage” but I often say certain road design “induces” speeding. To me it feels like more of a pull word, where encourage is more of a push, if that makes sense.

My wings story: Was on a trip with my brother & a cousin from my dad’s side. We stopped in Buffalo to see some of my mom’s relatives. They took us to a very Buffalo restaurant. Cousin says, “I mean, I have to get the Buffalo wings.” Waitress replies, scathingly, “We just call them wings, dear.”
