OMG, the body cam video.

Looks like Floyd didn't freak out until he saw Chauvin....

It literally showed Chauvin having to move his knee from off the carotid artery in order for the medic to take Floyd's pulse.

But Chauvin did it in anticipation.
He knew exactly where he was.
And is it just me, or does he seem kind of like he's being sedated at the same time he's being suffocated?

The groans after a couple of minutes sound kind of like when someone shoots up.

Marked shift in demeanor in the car.
Chauvin was wearing gloves. The others weren't.

Chauvin wasn't wearing his body camera, and had access to his head while he was in the vehicle.

What else could Chauvin have had access to?
I was unaware that a fentanyl pill was found in the squad car this until this week.

Did anyone determine what type of pill it was? Sublingual?

What was the proportion of the drugs in Floyd's body? Did they match the composition of the pill?
So, if anyone can access this journal article, I'm curious how many pills of what seems to be an analogous case of fentanyl counterfeits being passed off as oxycodone...

sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
I can't imagine that Floyd would have such disparately high concentration (4-6x higher) after taking only 2 pills.

Also, curious why I'm not seeing mention of tox results from gastric contents in Floyd's autopsy report.

They took the samples.... I bet they still have them.
Also, who chews regular tablets?

Why would anyone spit them out in the back of a police car - instead of, like, on the street?

For those reading my proposal who disagree with my politics, please know that Dennis Hastert is the root of my disdain for the GOP.

Growing up a few houses down the road from him, the silent whispers of his inappropriate behaviour were omnipresent in this small town.
Silent whispers of a GOP that facilitated and enabled those inappropriate behaviours to persist, and covered up for his actions did too.
In 2005, I took a role in a campaign that ran against him to make sure those rumours finally came in to the light.
With the reports not only that he enabled Mark Foley, but kept him on as co-chair of the Missing and Exploited Children's Caucus, it was clear that there was more than just partisan politics at play. Hastert was not the only one to know about Foley -

I wonder where else Dennis Hastert drove the GMC Yukon that he had at taxpayer's expense per the "Former Speaker Statute."

Did he drive it when he went to withdraw $50,000 from Castle Bank, or maybe he rode the Yukon to the Menards parking lot - to pay for his victim's silence?
I bet there's a way we could get an answer for that one...

Since we know the dates of the withdrawals, that would help fill in some of the gaps that allowed this case to be dismissed beforehand.

Using gov't property to commit a crime is bad, right?

And crazy that the $1.7M he paid out to Individual A is just a little less than the ~$2M he billed the government for - quite a bit of which was passed to his friends.

I really think that somebody needs to be asking questions about this.

Don't you?

You know what would be a good idea?

For A/V codec + API developers to rewrite their licenses to prohibit free-as-in-beer use in furtherance of fraud/illegal enterprises/etc.:

Hit EVERY SINGLE CONTENT PRODUCER with $1M+ royalty/licensing fees per instance.
Don't let insurrectionists and terrorists and pedophiles use the product of your own labor to further their enterprises and recruitment drives.

If they want to make videos of themselves inciting riots or raping children, don't be complicit -
Make them invest their resources in their own proprietary technology, reducing distribution and reach of their content and draining their coffers.

Help drain them dry.

I have an idea for two companion small-screen shows - a miniseries (ie 5 episodes), and a serialized "reality" show/documentary (essentially participant ethnography) but I haven't dipped my toe in the waters of the "entertainment" world before.

What's first? Script? Storyboard?
And, to be clear, these are all socially relevant topics, and a way to humanize those who have been otherized for the past 5 years. And would be controversial - but with unparallelled impact in compensating for issues where most white people lack empathy.
Actually - the series concept has potential to be repeated over multiple series with different narrative themes.

Think of something like Chernobyl meets The Road meets Zombieland (ok, maybe The Stand meets Ionesco, but nowhere near as far as Zombie Strippers took Rhinoceros).

I totally agree with the NRA here.

It's time to start passing gun legislation that defines who can be members of regulated militiae, and what types of weaponry those members can access.
The bill of rights uses "the people" as a collective noun & uses "person" to reference individual rights ∴ "the people" can legislate it.

TATFU: there can't be a blanket ban on all weapons.
You can restrict who has access to them to ensure they're used in the public interest.
And _The People_ can demand mental health checks to weed out sociopaths + predators who shouldn't possess weapons to determine fitness to belong, & ongoing community service + training as part of being a member of a 'well-regulated' militia that serves the public interest...

I totally respect what @nguyen_amanda and @kimmythepooh have been sharing on the media in recent days, and while they're addressing fetishization, they're skipping the CORE issue in the ATL shootings:

the women shot were "masseuses" like Epstein's victims were masseuses.
And I understand discussing fetishization, but not explicitly discussing sex trafficking ignores what is perhaps the single most important element in the rampant objectification of AAPI women: they've been commodified.
And when the bodies of AAPI women, or women with brown skin are sold at discount rates along the interstate, they're viewed by those consuming the flesh as little more than the cheap disposable crap imported from Chinese factories.

Sex trafficking dehumanizes.
