Fascinating! Thx for the info.

Yeah Candy, but we've kind of advanced to the point where we don't cut off people's hands for stealing, and we don't burn people for witchcraft. I know it's a disappointment for you but try, like the rest of us, to find the will to go on.

No one ran a toxicology screen on the cops. What are the odds they were fully clean?

I think the defense is also pushing the idea that the cop was MUCH smaller than Floyd. That is what some of the questions seemed to be aimed towards. Smaller guy had to use that force cause Floyd was a vicious giant. Or might be that smaller guy couldn’t have put enough pressure on a big guy. That seemed like where it was heading with questions about weight class.

How stupid can we be?

Keep tweeting, dipshit. It's the only way to find out for sure.

You know you are fucked when fellow cops are testifying against you. Hope that arrogant, homicidal motherfucker enjoys a long time in jail. He's a killer.

It's a potentially winning argument for the defense, given that the jury has already been primed by conservatives to consider underlying medical conditions the real cause of death for people who died from COVID-19.

I can HEAR you.

I have asthma, so theoretically if someone shot me in the chest (or knelt on my neck) they could always claim that I stopped breathing because of my underlying condition. If they did an autopsy, they would likely find painkillers and antidepressants in my system, which they could also cite as 'contributing factors'. The fact that I, like George Floyd, was doing just fine before being attacked, despite all of those factors, should be obvious to any reasonable person. I'm lucky enough to be a white Canadian female, instead of a Black American male, so I'll probably never have to find out.

In my fevered dreams, Candass Owens is a black person in the wrong place at the wrong time, and a Derek Chauvin-type LEO delivers some street justice while she shrieks about her rights and her wannabe-white privilege. Then I wake up and realize I want that when I'm fully conscious, too.
