abraham lincoln and AA/ slavery/civil war?
How did his attitudes regarding African-Americans change over the course of his life? Lincoln was an anti-slavery racist at the start: did he maintain his white-supremacist (but still anti-slavery) views throughout his life? How did Lincoln’s thoughts change over time, and why did they change?
3 AnswersMilitary9 years agoCourt tomorrow for resisting arrest and disorderly conduct HELP?Assaulted by the cops for a minor incident?
Okay, on new years eve i went a lil crazy. I might have been intoxicated and got out of control, bt it wasnt intentional. See i went to this hookah bar after i left a house party, while i was there some ppl started to act crazy and the cops were called. My friend wanted us to leave so we left, bt b4 we did i realized i left my phone inside. Trying to get back in, the lady who works there stopped me and told me i wasnt allowed,even after i explained to her why i wanted to go in. She was being a total bxtch, so i started cursing and yelling @ her, i kinda dont remember most of what happened, but my friend told me the cop told me to leave a few times, but i refused. To make a long story short, the cop gave me one more chance, tell me y when i was about 2 leave i was told the officer grabbed me and slammed me against the concrete, i landed face first, and the other officer mased me in my face and all of a sudden they started to tell me to stop resisting!!! wtf is that?!? 1. he never told me i was under arrest 2. he came @ me outta nowhere 3. im a female, he didnt have to do all that! My question is i have court in the morning in the mayors office where the incident had occured, so am i in the wrong? i know im guilty of disorderly conduct, but not reisiting arrest, i couldnt breath b/c of the mase and i was in so much pain....basically, i didnt deserve to be beated up, i never touched the cop so i dont understand y he put his hands on me. Tooth #9 and #10 are slightly loose according to my dentist and i might have to have root canal therapy, my chin was scratched and knee was horribly bruised/swollen. I just noticed the officer wrote down 1/1/2010 in instead of 2011 does that make a difference @ all? please help!!!

4 AnswersLaw & Ethics1 decade agoHow far can one take with an assault charge if both parties are at fault?
Okay so basically my friend and i had an altercation with another girl where an alleged fight occurred. Later that night after our class (by the way the girl is in one our night classes) my friend and i went home. All of a sudden i started receiving numerous phone calls/texts from the girl. She was threatening and wanted to fight my friend, bec allegedly my friend had beat her up after class. She has no proof of this happening!! bt she kept calling my phone and harassing me instead. I basically got fed up and called her 2 days later and left her an angry voice mail where i also threatened her. Im not a violent person, i jus spoke outta anger when i called her. So now the girl has involved the authorities @ school and my friend and i have been temporarily suspended from our university. My question is how far can this go? are they allowed to keep me from going to my classes, if l have proof that she was harassing me as well? I might have threatened her for my own defense bec of her harassment, but i didn't act on them. What should i do? i don't want to fail the quarter or get kicked out.........anybody who has any advice please help!
Thanks alot!

So she doesn't know when her court date is and would like to be prepared before hand. She's accused of shoplifting, she paid her fee to the store and now is waiting on her court letters. So how should she go on about getting a defender?
is one appointed to her, or is she supposed to find one on her own?
She's accused of stealing cough medicine from meyers by the way...
