Goom daddy dicking simple plebs on legal matters as usual nothing new to see.

CNN HQ getting annihilated, even the protesters are sick of that tabloid garbage it seems.

Or even that it has any physical effect that would cause death. The weight on the back of the neck in that position would not normally block either airflow or bloodflow. If someone can say "I can't breathe", they can breathe- though it could be at least partially obstructed. However, the preliminary report saying no signs of asphyxiation means no compression or abrasion injuries that would be consistent with even partially obstructing either breathing or bloodflow.
If anything, the evidence we've seen so far makes it more likely that the officer kneeling on the guy's chest was a more direct contribution to floyd's death than the one on his neck. Having your chest compressed and weight on you can result in labored breathing that would factor into cardiac failure next to a heart condition / drugs. Putting weight on the back or side of someone's neck can absolutely choke someone out but the evidence doesn't seem to support that happened.

It happened on live tv.
The police did not believe that they were media, they were detained until the governor stepped in after cnn contacted him directly.
They had credentials and identified themselves many times while the cops ignored them.

I never argued that he should be charged with anything specific. I'm arguing against Goom's assertion that charges were brought too early, specifically based on his claim that we can't be sure what killed Floyd.

Uh but dude we don't know for sure if it was the knee on the neck or on the back, so like, we really can't be sure how he died, you know? We need a complete autopsy to know if we should arrest the officer's left knee or right knee.

logically sure, knee to neck open and shut. but legally, a medical examiners report and/or coroners report dictate that, neither of which we had. it would be like making an eye judgement of toxicology, rather than a tox report. or in this context like making that judgement with bloodwork pending and underway. but in both cases with a pending report it may be moot, but god forbid that guy did swallow a bag of pills. the city will burn when charges drop. although in that case it may have burned regardless.

WCCO has been showing live footage of riots and looting on TV for past 15 minutes, they skipped Mike Max's normal sports roundup and had him on the freeway filming riots.
This is a pretty big deal because its basically the first live footage unfiltered of the rioting that has been on TV here, and he's showing the mob moving to attack the 5th precinct just now.
Everyone under age 40 might be watching this shit unfold online on their laptops or cell phones or whatever, but remember the biggest voting demographic: Old people.
The #1 station watched by the #1 demographic in Minnesota, a particularly vulnerable demographic that votes for both parties in such large amounts it could move either way. And they're watching people burn cars and reporters say that no polcie and no national guard and no firefighters are on scene as buildings burn and violence unfolds and police are under siege

This is probably the biggest half an hour of TV in political impact all year

I literally got him to drop every point he made in the entire conversation. I'm not surprised you think that's him winning.

You backtracked harder than Biden when he makes a public appearance.

lol why though?


little fella thor got told once by a guidance counselor that he was “smart” and he never lets anyone forget it lol
