Thao's demeanor with the crowd just came off as unprofessional but that's an optics thing I guess, he still did his job of actually keeping the crowd back. I spoke to a deputy sheriff with 30 years on about Chauvin and he said he'd never place his knee on someone's neck and that he was always trained to place it on the back, granted this was before any sort of transcripts of the bodycam came out so we didn't have a clear picture of why they needed to restrain Floyd the way they did. And apparently it was an approved tactic for MPD at least.

Fairly active for a weekday night - is it really just the local government chastising the feds that riled then up this much?

I wasn't saying that when it started. Took me a while to form that opinion. I wanted to wait for more information and to hear from more informed people. Which is the attitude everyone should have taken, but for obvious reasons that didn't happen.
And I'm open to the negligent manslaughter thing because I genuinely don't know what Chauvin's duty was at that time. Was he supposed to try to rouse him? Do CPR? Give him a phoenix down or cast nigerum revocetur*? "Hold him in place and wait for the EMTs" seems reasonable, but maybe someone will dig up a policy or case law that says he was supposed to do something else.

Oh, so you're talking out of your ass with subjective opinions. Hint: Following this, all cops are gonna say "they'd have done it differently" so they're not getting fucked with by their agency.
I have a certificate in Monadnock Defensive Tactics. At the time I was trained, and likely still, this is the second most popular training program for Law Enforcement in the United States. That training includes knees on or near the neck when controlling a suspect.
I also hold a certificate in what was formerly known as Pressure Point Control Tactics. It has since been renamed, but is still the most popular training program for Law Enforcement in the United States. That training includes knees on or near the neck when controlling a suspect.
I also have a certificate from a local training school in "Arrest Control Procedures". This program was derived from the above, and also teaches knees on or near the neck when controlling a suspect.
Further, I coach and have previously played US Football. Players are taught not turn their heads when making contact as where the neck goes, the body follows.
Wherever the neck goes, the rest of the body follows. Look at the still images from the arrest again. Notice the position of Officer Chauvin's body in relation to Floyd's. Notice how his body is beside Floyd's neck and not above it? Also, note the angle of Chauvin's femur. For it to be at the angle it is at from the rest of Chauvin's body, it is as clear today as it was at the time of incident that Chauvin wasn't applying downward pressure, or any pressure at all, onto Floyd's neck.
No, Dude was overdosing and resisting arrest. If the police did anything other than "hold in place" medics wouldn't have gone to the call as it would have been "unsafe" for them.

Chauvin appeared to arrive on the body cam footage as backup to restrain Floyd after being erratic and resisting arrest with Lane and Kueng.

The "medics" have been wiping down that shirtless guy for like 10 minutes now. What's it called when you pretend to be sick because you experience sexual excitement from receiving medical care?

What do you guys think what will happen in the end? Do all these virtue signalers think they’ve done anything? Call me dumb, but the more I think of this incident of George Floyd, I seem to think that people have become useless drones as they only gave a shit about Floyd is because the media told them to care.

Of course it's racist. Remember how niggers commit 80% of violent crimes and are 80% of the prison population and THAT is waysis?

The same people who depend on government money turn around and squander it on frivolous items and mutual donations to e-begging sites. You're right that they could pool that money and use ti to make a meaningfuil difference, but these are slacktivists we're talking about. Action is too tiresome.
It's funny because many liberals want more money for education and a solution to the "digital divide." For now, it instead looks like they're more invested in these protests that solve zero social issues. Meanwhile, schools are trying to figure out when and how they will reopen come September, and the technology woes they faced this spring in trying to provide online education on short notice are still unresolved -- something that doesn't bode well should schools be closed again for an extended period of time due to COVID-19 or anything else.
Aren't these also the same people that want $0 bail because requiring a cash payment to get out of jail is classist, racist, and about a dozen other-ists? Funny how they don't like the same ideas they advocate for when their opponents/enemies take advantage of them.
From what I've seen of Libertarians shilling their candidate, the talking points they focus on seem to be identical to the Democratic platform, especially regarding open borders. Why vote Libertarian if party members are touting policies already being supported by the Dems?
I imagine it will be some combination of:
- "Financial advisors" offering to help for a steep price (and mismanaging the money),
- Frivolous purchases, and
- All kinds of people crawling out of the woodwork to request or demand a share of the money with the implication that saying no is not going to be an option.
- Any other similar items not mentioned.
MLive has been garbage tier for some time. As the quality of their regional sports coverage declined and the <state>Live platform as a whole discontinued its own forums, there was nothing left to distinguish it from any other online news source. Worse, viewing MLive with an ad-blocker can yield unpredictable results. Sometimes, an article displays without any issues. Other times, you have to click something saying 'Continue without unblocking'. Still other times, you can't read the article at all, but a refresh produces the article in its entirety without the no-ad nag.
Writers such as this drive home the point that low-tier journalists flock to equally low-tier media sites where one journalist's mere incompetence is sadly above average when compared to the rest of them.
About 15 years ago, someone I know in Maine mentioned that their area had seen a brief upswing in Asian/African refugees escaping whatever turmoil was going on in their native countries at the time. Many of them found their way to the regional community colleges in an attempt to get themselves better educated.
Maine really is rather boring relatively speaking, and the low crime rate is so true that locals will give visitors from out of state/the big city good-natured ribbing about locking their cars, especially during the winter.
Agreed. Between Chief Craig's quick and proactive responses and local activists making it clear agitators are neither wanted nor welcome, Detroit has largely stayed calm. Even with the latest big shooting, Chief Craig released the body cam coverage rather quickly to dispel the inaccuracies being spread on social media. For now, the biggest ongoing protest in Detroit has been BAMN blockading school buses because they fear summer school will bring a large upswing in COVID-19 to both students and staff alike.
Send the feds to places such as Portland and Seattle where the local elected officials either do nothing to stop the violence or encourage it with their behavior and/or inaction.
At this point, the burnt areas of Portland, Minneapolis, and other cities make Detroit look better (for now anyways). If you want to compare Portland's current state to Detroit's after its 1967 riot, though, you'd be more spot on.
The $15/hour demand is the byproduct of SEIU's involvement. They're the group behind that along with unionizing fast food workers so they can boost their depleted union membership and coffers. It's ingenious icing on the cake when they, or other groups, imply $15/hour minimum wage would somehow cure everything wrong in the US right now.
Even if there was a new and improved term for homeschooling, it wouldn't change the fact people would still use it for bad reasons as they do now. That aspect will never go away.
@Syaoran Li, @FatalTater, and @Meat Target have all replied about the subject, but here are some other thoughts combined with theirs:
The biggest issue is a lack of uniform standards. Regulations vary greatly from state to state. In my state, parents don't have to notify the state unless they want special education resources. Further, they don't have to notify the local school district although it's encouraged to avoid truancy issues. Apart from minimal content requirements, parents have relatively complete autonomy. Even the requirement that anyone homeschooling children possess a Bachelor's degree is easily sidestepped because of how easy it is to claim having said degree isn't possible for religious reasons. Efforts to further regulate homeschooling often get fought by homeschool lobbyists.
Another issue is the aforementioned people that use it to either hide something or indoctrinate their kids. In addition to fundamentalists who may want to slant teaching to include their distorted religious world view, there are also those who use homeschooling to keep anyone from learning the children are being abused and neglected. Yes, these are likely a small minority, but the media has a field day reporting these incidents because it allows them to portray homeschooling and their advocates as abnormal.
One of the last main concerns I've seen comes from a thread active when I was a lurker: Unschooling. The idea that parents are claiming to homeschool their children when they instead have their kid unsupervised in front of an electronic device doing whatever they want, even if it's not educational. I'm willing to bet many people have this in mind when they first hear "homeschool" even though it's once again a small minority whose behavior is exaggerated by those who dislike any disruption to the status quo.
Public school unions seeing it as a threat are indeed a thing. They've never been totally thrilled with private schools even if they tolerate them to some degree. Charter schools are looked at even more unfavorably because they get state tax funding that would presumably go to the public schools those students might otherwise attend. As a result, teachers unions, especially the more militant ones affiliated with the American Federation of Teachers tend to have a vested interest in seeing their competition fail in some form or another.
The socialization issue can go either way. Many homeschooled students go on to attend college, do well, and graduate to be productive members of society. However, that doesn't provide good ammo for criticizing homeschooling. Instead they focus on those students who behave quirky for whatever reason or might not move on to college. Those become Exhibit A on why homeschooling is bad. That said, there exists organized homeschooling groups that provide structured learning and opportunities for interaction whether student-teacher or student-student. Also, some areas with enough homeschool students have been known to have organized physical education sessions, intramural sports, or full-fledged athletic programs to make sure students have a chance to be active and learn teamwork skills.

You do understand they didn't want him smashing his head into the concrete, right? Or rolling into traffic. Those are why the knee was placed.
Edit: Hand on the neck? Really? That would have looked even worse. You really are dumb.

Jesus, this is boring. These are like, the only people still bothering, and it shows. Even that crowd, while bigger; isn't impressive. Any group can look worrisome when there's thousands, but you guys know these people. Literally all it takes is a flashbang and half that crowd will either immediately disperse, or stay way in the background. Even in a place with as many radical dipshits as Portland. As cheeto dust meme man who people desperately try to find things to clown on for now would say; LOW ENERGY.

Hmm, does this mean they don't expect the criminal charges to stick?
No. The families of people who have fired guns at the police file these suits. And cities ALWAYS pay out because it's cheaper than fighting in court.

So basically this is the time to go full /k/ommando and buy yourself an SKS?
They've been lulled into a sense of complacency and think they're still playing the same game. They really do not understand what they're doing or what they've done. They think they're still going up against Podwoddle who, himself wants to beat these morons with his night stick every time he has to deal with them.
Now they're up against Chad Wolf's boys and no, no he doesn't have his men read you your rights, no he does not consider you attacking a building, or officers with a hammer or trying to set his men on fire something that requires a ticket.
The mayor of Portland has made this situation so much worse by not stamping down hard on what was considered unacceptable behaviour by the vast majority. Had Antifa continued to rant and scream and wave their stupid flags then these kids wouldnt be in a van somewhere being measured for an orange jumpsuit and learn what real supremacist tendancies will actually look like when they arrive at their new home in Fucknuck County, Idaho who only agreed to a Fed prison for the tax payer kickbacks.
I think folks forget that Hi-points are built to a budget and sold accordingly, you're not going to get an easy to use gun brand new for that price.
Plus the lifetime warrinty's pretty sweet too.
You saw the Puget Sound John Brown Gun Club, right? They couldn't even hold 6 city blocs convincingly. They'd have to hold a town or port area for several hours and not be murdered either by Feds, the military or by militia groups coming from the back woods for a laugh.
The UK's polling was similarly dire, and any general support for BLM is seen as semi-poisonous in the polling. Labour's leader and Deputy both knelt and found their poll gap widening back to a healthy 10 points with the Tories. It was followed by the loudest, crunchiest gear change in history of "I don't support defunding the police."
Interesting reason for that. Quite a few Indians realised very early on in the 70s that sticking to just the cities was pointless and had them stuck with all their other fellows, so began moving out of the cities ASAP to found small businesses out the jacksie. Taking on restraunts, pubs, corner shops etc. They moved to towns where they'd be the only non-white family for 10 miles around or more. Right into the heart of peaceful, sleepy locals who probably last saw someone not their skin colour on the TV. They endured the racism, the mistake of being called "paki" and on and on. End result, fourty years on?
British-Indians make up the second richest group in the UK, and likely one of the richest proportionally by head.
I know of at least two families in Pillockshire who're thought of very highly due to their business accumen and ability, as well as their charity.
The black and Pakistani communities however, found a niche early on. Pakistanis would dominate the fabrics trade, blacks public transport and other service economy jobs.
Then de-industrialisation happened and the "natural" route for many of them (shit job-->Supervisor/Foreman-->Manager-->Kids go to Uni to become whatever) was not so much shut as had a metal plate shoved over it and welded shut.
End result is the ghettos and "no go zones" which the UK media says totally don't exist...
But there's a reason the Indian-Dominated Golden Mile in Leicester gets a Tourism Brown Signpost directing you there and other areas... do not.
The problem isn't so much whats happening now, but what will happen in 10-20 years when some of these morons go into front line politics. We've allowed across much of the West to have these seeds sown and they're only getting bolder. In the UK, for example, Uni Students are less concerned about Democracy, Rule of Law and Freedom of Speech than they are about "Safe Zones" to allow people to express themselves however they want.
We're breeding a weird, weird group of hedonistic authortarians and I do not know how we're going to fix that short of having to do a number of terrible things.
