George Floyd Murder by Cop

[Aerin]

Apparently the Insurrection Act says that the military can’t go to the states unless requested by the state government.

Tear gassing people just so you can have a photo op. I didn’t know it was possible for Trump to go any lower than he already had

Trump literally just going across to the church to hold up a Bible and have pictures taken.

Hennepin County Medical Examnier has ruled George Floyd's death a homicide

County medical examiners officially ruled George Floyd’s death a homicide in a post-mortem report released Monday evening.

On May 25, Floyd “experienced a cardiopulmonary arrest while being restrained” by law enforcement, said the report released by Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s office. The cause of death was “cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint and neck compression.”

He died at 9:25 p.m.

A preliminary autopsy released Friday by the county ruled out strangulation and said “the combined effects of Mr. Floyd being restrained by the police, his underlying health conditions and any potential intoxicants in his system likely contributed to his death.”

The new report mentioned Floyd had heart disease. It also noted fentanyl intoxication and “recent methamphetamine use” as significant conditions, but did not describe them as contributors. The county did not immediately respond to a request for comment explaining the update.

Floyd’s family also commissioned an independent autopsy. That determined the cause of his death was “asphyxiation from sustained pressure,” attorneys for the family announced earlier on Monday.

Oh dont be suprised or even shocked at this point, this is a double whammy of civil unrest and a pandemic I guarantee you this is his "emperor has no clothes moment". Dont even hope to see an improvement only how much lower he can go thanks to his Republitard supporters like McConnell.

80% on A, 20% on E.

In NYC, Portland, and Orlando, cops got up and gassed/beat the shit out of protestors within an hour of taking pictures of kneeling down with them.

Jeeze, really now? Is that a trained technique or something?

[Lokus]

Depends on the department but it's not really something that is commonly taught. Not even military MPs are taught that.

That driver still needs to be fired and charged regardless of intent. You have to be extremely negligent to not notice the road ahead was obstructed.

I'll give 100:1 odds of A

[Zealot]

I mean in 6 months unless he's dead he'll still be in the White House.

There are definitely some people on the protester side escalating things. Whether it's heat of the moment or to willfully incite is anyone's guess and I'm sure depending on which lane you fall on it's either a normal protester, antifa, or embedded far-right trolls.

the neck is a vulnerable area that can incapacitate someone pretty quickly. it wouldn't shock me if its one of things that is widely used in the field, but never actually taught because of the potential for harm

i dont know squat about police procedures but purely from a judo/jiu jitsu standpoint every choke is dangerous if you hold it long enough, but length of time is where the danger lies not necessarily the technique itself.

Spoiler: show

above is a picture of a mounted triangle armbar. from a technique standpoint it's no more/less dangerous than what the cop was doing in the vid. george floyd was killed because of the length of time the pressure was applied

After President Trump gave a White House Rose Garden address where he threatened to deploy federal troops, he walked over to the historic St. John’s Episcopal Church near the White House that was set on fire on Sunday.

The president appeared to be using the church for a photo opportunity, standing in front of the church's sign holding up a Bible for several seconds. A reporter asked him if it was his Bible and he said, “It's a Bible."

“We have a great country,” he said. “That's my thoughts. Greatest country in the world."

Before his visit, law enforcement cleared protesters out of the area with tear gas.

The Right Rev. Mariann Budde, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, said she learned of Trump's visit by watching it on the news.

“I don’t want President Trump speaking for St. John’s,” Budde said.

“I am outraged,” she said, with pauses emphasizing her anger as her voice slightly trembled. “I am the bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington and was not given even a courtesy call, that they would be clearing with tear gas so they could use one of our churches as a prop, holding a Bible, one that declares that God is love and when everything he has said and done is to enflame violence."

She said the church disassociates itself from the messages of the president. "We hold the teachings of our sacred texts to be so so grounding to our lives and everything we do and it is about love of neighbor and sacrificial love and justice," she said.
