At 09:30 #TouThao says he was taught #CPR at the police academy, recertified every two yrs. Why didn't he pull that skill out of his ass during #TheMurderOfGeorgeFloyd? The first thing they teach you is to take a pulse, did he take #GeorgeFloyd's pulse?
This meeting takes place in August 2020, it's warm in Minnesota in August, and #TouThao is there voluntarily, he is not under arrest, so all five of these men are #CovidIdiots because they aren't having this meeting outside and with masks on.
#Thoa's lawyer hasn't got any objections to this extremely gentle questioning. At 27:00 the three @FBI agents, in a manner much too congenial & polite, ask #TouThao to kindly recall his version of events. If you want to hear his excuses, here they are.
At 28:15 #TouThao complains that he knew the neighborhood to be 'especially hostile to the police." Well, they didn't murder any of you, #Thao! It naturally makes people hostile #AF when you go into their neighborhood and #murder them!
At 33:30 #TouThao says, "If we just put him in the squad care, he might have ended up hurting himself." But not nearly as bad as you holes hurt him.
#TouThao We saw you on video refusing to allow a qualified #EMT to render #FirstAid to this dying man. I'm so done with your lies. We saw you. And we saw your body cam, we saw how the witnesses begged for your mercy on behalf of #GeorgeFloyd. #Justice!
At 52:30 an @FBI officer asks #TouThao "Do you know what the urgency was? Did you think about any alternative ways of handling this? As you watched it unfold did you think of any alternatives? Did you make any suggestions to the rookie officers?"
#TouThao describes what #GeorgeFloyd did to resist them, "He kinda stiffened up his body." How frightening for them all! So presumably they had to kill him because they couldn't just wait for him to unstiffen.
1:10:48 #TouThao states he thought the crowd was hostile b/c they "cursed", but when asked what the crowd was specifically saying, he answers, "Get off his neck! Check on him!" that's what they were saying. #TouThao we all cursed you and we all said that.
At 1:11:3, when #TouThao says the crowd urged him to "Look at him! Check on him! Get off his neck!" the @FBI agent asks him, "Did you do that?" #Thao says "No, that wasn't my job." Yes, it was, #Tou, that was your one job. #Fail!
It's shocking to me that @ParrishMed employs staff who refuse to be vaccinated for #Covid19. When I was a nurse, I knew I had to produce a vaccination record at every job interview, and during my employment #EmployeeHealth would make sure nothing expired. ehstoday.com/covid19/articl…
@ParrishMed "It is legal for employers to require employees to be vaccinated, as long as they adhere to safety and anti-discrimination laws. (OSHA) allows employers to impose legitimate health and safety policies if they are job-related and consistent." ehstoday.com/covid19/articl…
@ParrishMed should not allow employees to work without all the proper vaccinations, from varicella to #Covid & everything in between. Patients should not risk deadly infections by interacting with hospital staff, neither should their visitors, it's as important as credentials.
Use a search engine to find the #FEMA vaccination site nearest you, it's worth driving to no matter how far away it is, they don't require an appointment, they don't send you codes that expire almost immediately, they don't confuse the issue, they are so well staffed no waiting.
And #FEMA has wheelchairs on-site for the use of the mobility challenged or frail, they have people who will go get you a wheelchair, bring it to your car if you park in disabled parking and honk your horn. They'll push you right thru, you'll only be there about a half-hour.
If you are in the greater #Orlando area, this is the #FEMA#Covid#Vaccination site that is going to make it easy for you to get vaccinated, no appointments, no codes, no jumping thru hoops, no wait, no muss, no fuss!
In 1969 I went up to Max Yasgur's farm to sleep in the mud and sit on a hill overlooking a stage where #JanisJoplin, #JimiHendrix, and #JoanBaez played. So I know what 500 thousand people look like. They look like a sea of swaying humanity. There was no crime in #WoodstockNation
500 thousand Americans have died, and I think the number is just too incomprehensible, it's so big, it has lost it's meaning. I've found when I say, "500 thousand people have died!" somebody always asks, how many were supposed to die this year? Because they honestly do not know.
#GOP senators who voted to #ConvictTrump are being censured by their party. I hope the censure comes in writing, so they can frame it & hang it up in their offices, display it during their re-election campaigns! #BadgeOfCourage! TY senators for the strength of your #convictions!
And in the #House, those #Congressmen#BrokeRank with the #MAGANaziParty will emerge as #PartyLeaders, having earned a measure of respect from all Americans, even those who are ideologically opposed. We all know we need an opposition party we just want a rational, principled one!
That isn't a photo of #TeresaMicmac, it's just a stock photo. The Smithsonian has a photo of #TeresaMicmac but I don't have their permission to publish it, if you can imagine that, even tho I am her direct descendant. But of course, she probably has a thousand descendants.
OFFS! Not a daughter who can spell tho! #Polyglot!
#EpicFail. We are not a #SovereignNation anymore. We are not a #Democracy anymore. #Insurrection will be repeated at every election, but they won't wait till then. This was just the rehearsal. #Republicans did this because they knew they could never get legit elected again. #Coup
Why don't you give the rest of those #CapitolPolice & your 400 intimidated staffers more medals? Lots of good that will do when someone comes to kill them! You sweep it under the rug. No wonder some police felt so betrayed they went home & killed themselves. They should all quit.
