    Darrow isn't even trying. He's just a troll. I say shut him down.

    And here's another very interesting thing: The DA in Minneapolis has changed the charge against their fine officer Derek Chauvin from 3rd-degree murder to 2nd-degree murder. Here is the statute:
    This could backfire on them. I'm no lawyer, but my understanding is that if the DA ramps up the charges and doesn't get Chauvin, they can't retry him again for the same crime. How are the protestors going to feel if they try to throw the book at Chauvin and his buddies and they all walk? I can't imagine that the BLM people are going to take that one lying down.

    On another note, it seems like the protests are starting to wind down. Am I wrong on that? I scanned Twitter this morning and it didn't seem like there was nearly as much looting and rioting. Could be a good sign, or it could just be a lull before the next thing. "Second-wave" imminent?

    But the details always matter. You're about to see why.

    The word Stupidass should appear in your name. Maybe I can help with that.

Even if that individual had coronary artery disease, the mechanism of death would still be a Type 2 Myocardial Infarction instigated by the asphyxial brain injury caused by the compression of the neck. Therefore, in a case like the George Floyd case, the underlying cause of death would be Mechanical Asphyxiation due to Compression of the Neck." Unfortunately, Dr. Omalu has said the original ME report was "professional buffoonery," and therefore is unlikely to be commissioned by the prosecution as an expert witness.
    Serious question: Has Dr. Omalu seen the official autopsy data (not the report?). Has he also seen the second autopsy data?

    At the risk of putting on my tin foil hat....

    If I were an Antifa sympathizing attorney general, how would I stack the deck that the officer would be found not guilty (or guilty of a much lesser crime) in order to sow the seeds of continued chaos?

    The brilliance of this tactic is the average person who is [justifiably] upset over the incident, cheers madly at the more severe charges.

    Ever read Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison? It was written back in the 50s, but there are lot of connections to what's going on right now. The basic gist of it is that a black man allows himself to be used by a whole bunch of institutions before he finally snaps and realizes that the only way to win is not to play. The book actually ends with a massive riot just like the ones going on right now.

    Malcolm X's biography by Alex Haley is another good read if someone wants to see how long this type of stuff has been going on. Say what you will about him, Malcolm X was very aware of the fact that the African-American community is just another pawn in a lot of politicians' playbooks. The sad part about the current situation is that the same thing is happening again.

    Does either of these definitions apply to this case? 1.) Can they prove intent to kill, or 2.) can they prove that Chauvin was committing another felony or was under a restraining order of some type? It will be difficult. And if Chauvin walks, as it seems he might under these charges, what will happen? It may be that the details of the 9 minutes are such that they think they have a case, i.e. the paramedic that said "There's no pulse," and the 2 minutes after that during which Minneapolis's fine officer Chauvin continued to kneel on his neck is going to be interpreted as intent. But the other three have been charged as accessories to 2nd-degree murder, and if they can't prove intent by Chauvin, what happens to the other three thugs?
    Intent is the issue. The abuse element of clearly going further than what was needed is obvious. The idea that he intended to kill him or even did something that you would do to kill him is flat out wrong.

    They will never actually be able to prove intent because it is not normal for someone to die from that. You pass out from something like that waaay before you actually die.

    And every lifelong criminal cries about police brutality during an arrest, so that part is not only irrelevant, but proof that he COULD breathe.

    Cop was wrong, but people are just being stupid and greedy because they want to sacrifice someone to the rioters.

    Or perhaps they want him to be acquitted triggering more riots.
