Tough Day To Be In Law Enforcement

While I would not object to an independent autopsy, 1) that the guy kept talking for several minutes means his throat wasn't crushed, and 2) this autopsy does implicate the police restraint in his death. Having a knee on your neck could no doubt cause death in many ways besides a crushed larynx.

Most likely cut off blood flow to the brain. That can happen while the person is completely able to breathe.

Seriously? The cop had his knee in the guy's neck for 9 minutes. This family needs an independent autopsy.

Who cares? He was murdered either way. I don't need an autopsy to show his neck was broken or he died from asphyxiation to know that.

I mean just because A and B happen it doesn't mean A caused B... like if the jazz always lose when I wear certain socks does that mean the socks caused the loss? Just because a man was standing on this guys neck for 8 minutes and he died doesn't mean that is what caused it.... they could be completely unrelated (all sarcasm).
 
I think the autopsy should have included this line at the end "maybe he just got the Rona? It could have been anything really."

Even if he didn't die. I have always thought that cops over do it when they have a subdued and cuffed person on the ground. Cops kneeling on people's heads or necks while the suspect is on the ground and subdued and cuffed has been going on for a long time. And not just to minorities. I have seen that scenario play out on cops tv show many times. It kind of seems like standard procedure. Doesn't seem like it should be though.

Cops should be able to be pretty rough with suspects up until they are down and cuffed imo. Once they have them down and cuffed I think they should ease up a bit with the amount of force used.

And I'm not a cop so maybe it isn't that easy in the heat of moment with your adrenaline going. Idk.

MLK has a good quote about this.

…I think America must see that riots do not develop out of thin air. Certain conditions continue to exist in our society which must be condemned as vigorously as we condemn riots. But in the final analysis, a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it that America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the Negro poor has worsened over the last few years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice, equality, and humanity. And so in a real sense our nation’s summers of riots are caused by our nation’s winters of delay. And as long as America postpones justice, we stand in the position of having these recurrences of violence and riots over and over again. Social justice and progress are the absolute guarantors of riot prevention.

This is a great post and sums up the riot mentality quite well. Americans want to be outraged by these violent protests, but all of the same people turned their back on the NFL when it’s minority players found a good way to stage a peaceful protest in kneeling during the national anthem to bring awareness to people of color dying at the hands of law enforcement. They can’t win! While it’s very sad to see, I watch these riots on my TV with an understanding of how and why it got to this point.

It still blows my mind that I can see a bunch of fat, armed and angry white guys playing soldier, berating people while using lethal intimidation tactics and not a single arrest, nor an ounce of tear gas gets used. It’s infuriating.
 
I'm watching your country burn on my TV. Its an all too familiar scene, if you don't think there is a problem with race and law enforcement in America you are part of the problem.

I wouldn't have minded being a teacher. I almost became a German professor, in fact. Did a summer gig in Germany at a university in fact. But in the end the money was the real stumbling block for me. I've probably made twice what I would have made as a teacher or even a professor in my current profession. At least 50% more overall.

There's something fishy about this line. Potential intoxicants? Why include that line before a toxicology report come back? Someone correct me if I'm wrong but that doesn't seem normal.
