"He said even a "healthy person...would have died"."
please note the ... means there is stuff missing.
like if i said "a healthy person wouldn't have died from that, but if they had a large boulder placed on top of them, they would have died"
"a healthy person ... would have died"
that would technically be a valid quote. gotta love journalists...
Floyd was not Jesus, he was not even MLK, he was not even Rodney King. it's a fkin excuse.
the point of George Floyd is not that he was a saint, not that he was a good man, or even an average man.
he was a bad guy. but, that does not warrent a death penalty.
"George Floyd died from lack of oxygen, not fentanyl." <--- that's still hilarious. (yeah and if someone shoots you, you die of blood loss, or organ failure; the bullet is clearly not the problem.)
i guess they're just trying to say if he asphyxiated then it's murder.. it's a straw man that tho, the question isn't *if* he asphyxiated, it's *why*.
"The jury's verdict must be unanimous and US police officers are rarely convicted or charged at all for deaths that occur in custody."
bit of 'poisoning the well' too. journalists... possibly the worst people in the world.
"About three minutes before Mr Chauvin removed his knee, Dr Tobin said, there was "not an ounce of oxygen left in his body"."
i was gonna say an ounce of oxygen is a hell of a lot, but apparently the human body is 65% oxygen? didn't know that.
suppose it's all the water..
>5 mins after being detained. Police force needs to stop recruiting Wraiths from stargate atlantis.
probably shouldn't take things so literally, but the world is hard when no-one means what they say. everything is just fkin... for effect.
i dont know if anyone is interested, but i would say that's post-modernism again. there is no objective reality, just subjective ones.
if i said "this cake is divine" - it just means it's really good, not that it's actually heavenly. i dont like it, shit can mean anything, whole point of history is to build something that can be built upon further. otherwise it's all just chaos and nihilism.
