What’s the percentage on that? Is it 99.9% plus that do live and can talk about it? Or is it thousands of deaths a day who can’t tell their story because murder???
I pretty much concur with that although I have my doubts that different commands in that situation would have prevented the kid from turning on the cop. A command to not turn around should have been issued.
What in the bloody hell are you babbling about, Professor? I’m talking about this situation. If the cop believes the guy is carrying a gun and spins with his hands coming up, the cop is going to shoot. That’s that they’re taught to do.
That’s not how use of force escalation is taught to police. A cop is taught to shoot before the suspect has an opportunity to fire. I’ve done the shoot/don’t shoot training and if the guy had a gun a second or so before hand, and the cop didn’t see him drop it, turning into what very well could be a shooting position is going to earn you a bullet.
I was half listening and it sounded like the state found some newly discovered evidence in the medical records. Sounded like oxygen saturation levels. Judge kind of called the state a bunch of assholes for trying to introduce/disclose it so late in the game. Said it can't come in and if their rebuttal expert mentions it there will be a mistrial.
Let me give it a try. It’s for the same reason letting my 190 pound svelte self into the chick’s lacrosse league in 1995 would have sucked for most all of them. I’d have wrecked fucking shop.
I’m all for trans folks living there best lives but those videos of a tall, muscled trans girl with her junk evident smoking the smaller cis chicks in track is impossible to ignore.
But that’s not really a fair comparison. You don’t have a legal right to assault an old lady. Cop had some legal right to restrain Floyd by force. This would be more like someone assuming the risk of a wrestling match and the question was whether death was caused by the other wrestler going too far after subduing his opponent or whether the opponent’s preexisting medical conditions and drug use caused death. It’s a really hard question. (Note: could give a fuck of Chauvin is convicted. I just see it as a really hard case and would not want to be on that jury).
Yeah, that don't make no sense. A person can be in that position with both toes off the ground and still shift most of their weight to one knee or the other. Hell, you can put almost no weight on one of the knees.
