The PC and Perpetually Offended Brigade

[Nazgûl]

Whatever ones thoughts on everything that happened after that incident, how could you see it any other way than murder/manslaughter and total negligence of force.  The video really does tell pretty much all of what you need to know. 8 minutes of that as somebody said above, the guy repeatedly saying he can't breathe and still, still he continued to kneel on his neck. Catch yourselves on, seriously.

Probably, but it'd still be interesting to hear what comes out in court. You never know.

He had 11 nanograms per millileter of fentanyl in his blood when analyzed, which police sources say is enough for a fatal overdose in a first time user. They also added that such an amount would have a street value of...one billion dollars!

It was stated that he bought cigarettes beforehand with the fake $20 bill, but he actually bought a banana which is kept quiet because of certain connotations.
Drug users regularly buy a piece of fruit with fake money because it's the cheapest thing they can buy to get as much real money in change to buy their drugs.

He bought both, and apparently not at the same moment, possibly due to being high (I've been there!). The video footage was shown for the first time during the trial a couple of days ago. So, as far as we know - but don't let that stop you - the banana aspect wasn't "kept quiet because of certain connotations", but rather because the clerk says it was the cigarettes that Floyd tried to buy with the fake note, which was arguably the trigger event that led to everything after.

The Clerk also says he was just happy, chatting to people. A large black man, off his tits on meth and opiates...I'm sure the other patrons were just floating on a cloud after that interaction!

Sure watch the video Kev:

None of the other "patrons" seem particularly bothered by his presence at all.

[Caomhaoin]

It's a common phenomenon, everyone has it. When a psycho or druggie appears on public transport or a store, just pretend they don't exist.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Pretty much all the other patrons who come into close contact with him appear to be other black men and one black woman. I think you'll just have to accept that Afro-Americans from the same neighborhood won't have had the same biases or preciousness as you do, and just got on with their day, without it bothering their emotional state - as you implied above - in the slightest bit.

[Ollkiller]

The cops had him restrained. And handcuffed. But Chauvin stays there for ages on his neck. He kept his knee on his neck for one minute 30 seconds after the paramedics arrived. Theres just no logic to it at all. To me it's manslaughter. Only he knows if he wanted to kill him. Why that technique is used to subdue anyone is beyond me. Way too easy to cause serious damage if you cut oxygen to the brain for any length of time.

[Caomhaoin]

Have to agree. No sense whatsoever in kneeling on a mans neck for any length of time.

[Kurt Cocaine]

It's very sad. Seeing the lad doing his little shuffle there in the video waiting to be served and knowing that he only has minutes of his life left.

White people, get to the back of the vaccine bus!

There have been more well-off p...sorry, I mean white people vaccinated so far in Vermont than people of color, so this is primarily to redress that inequality, since people of color are still twice as likely to end up in hospital if infected. By opening up vaccination eligibility for them, they hope to achieve community immunity as quickly as possible, in order to better protect the most vulnerable, including among those who, for one reason or another, are less likely to go for vaccination themselves. Any white people in any kind of risk category by age, or by occupation or comorbidity regardless of age, are also eligible for vaccination. But yeah, poor white people 

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Incidentally, how do y'all get so much "poor white people" style news? Is it through a specific mailing list? Or is there some kind of customizable app that allows anyone to feed their own personal fantastical persecution complex??
