You might be surprised that your physician disagrees with you, though. Racism transcends professional stature and class. On first glance, a racist only sees black skin. Your individuality and accomplishments don't matter. Black people have the mental capacity to form our own opinions, recognize racism when we experience or witness it, and still achieve. We are not blindly lead by the media, as you and some others believe.
There are still some police dept.s that allow & teach a "sleeper hold" that is done by constricting the carotid arteries.
Not at all, people who resist arrest only have themselves to blame, you have yet to show me a murderer in any of these cases.
Until someone produces the Star Trek phaser with an infallible stun setting there must always be a requirement for physical force.
People have contributed money to hire Dr. Michael Baden, renowned pathologist, who will now do an independent autopsy in addition to the autopsy which was performed under the auspices of the coroner's office. imo that's a good thing. But idk if carotid constriction ever shows at autopsy. btw, there's a vid that shows that EMT's or paramedics never showed up; it was armed police in bulletproof vests who exited the ambulance and put George Floyd on the stretcher for transport.
I've seen the reports they worked at the same place but did not know each other. Yes I think Chauvin was trying to to cause some pain and suffering burning don't think he was trying to kill Floyd especially knowing hebis being videoed by multiple people. The ME report is quite clear Floyd had severe health problems with his and coronary system and we know he was in cardiac distress before he went down. It is even reasonable to assume he was going to die within moments before he was prone and in the ground. To get a murder or even manslaughter they are going to have to prove he would have survived had the officers not held him to the ground in the manner in which they did or had he not gone into that cardiac distress he would have died anyway from the manner in which the police held him on the ground. IMO I think this is not the slamdunk everyone is making it out to be.
Did you hear his speech and question and answer on this issue this afternoon! Andrew Cuomo for President! This man gets it!
Best and most useful post of the week: HockeyDad's post #300 above -- Yes, people -- there's a REASON WHY people think as they do and act accordingly! The media try to paper-over reality with bullshit and SJW-esque, wishful-thinking fantasies... but as they say, "it is what it is" -- because "it is what it is".... This should be MANDATORY VIEWING for every citizen of the United States of America!
Absolutely nonsense. Blacks people are not dealing with any amount of racism everyone else isn’t. They get the benefit of affirmative action making it so whites people have to out perform them just to hired over them, if they are equally qualified it defaults to the black person. The entire nation gets outraged whenever one of them is killed by a police officer yet no one cares if it’s a white person. this unrest will pass, it always does. And the narrative is more about their destructive behavior than Floyd now. their outrage is real, the narratives it’s based on is false.
It is irrelevant. It is illegal to use excessive force on a suspect, and it is illegal for an officer to assault a suspect. He was hand cuffed, lying face down on the pavement and not moving.
