Tells you all you need to know

Unfortunately for you, some people and the law actually know how to delineate and reason through things. No, both things are not the same.

Pence's turn. Trump still f'd. Shows the difference in handling between Trump, Biden, Pence.

If you refused to watch the video I screenshot the part where George Floyd was telling Derek Chauvin that he can't breath because of the knee on his [bneck [/b]

It's not going to matter. He is fully invested in this on an emotional level. This tactic was banned after Floyd, but even beforehand as the Chief of Police testified, they had written procedures in their training manual on when and how to use it, and Chauvin's use wasn't authorized per the manual. No need to do more than read the police training manual.

Big Irony, he was one of those corrupt FBI agents that were harassing Trump admin officials over Russian collusion allegation. Now he is the one that is colluding with Russians while nothing was found against Trump.

Did you think this through before you wrote it? It seems you heard this somewhere without putting reason to it.

If this same FBI agent was indeed overseeing the Russian collusion allegation, and was indeed working for the same Russians, it would seem that he would have a vested interest in coming to the conclusion that there was no Trump conclusion. Or did you think the same Russian (Oleg Deripaska) that was paying this FBI agent and also gave Trump's Campaign chief Manafort a $10Million loan would want him exposing the fact that he was working with the Trump Administration?

If anything, if this agent was indeed involved in the Russia investigation, this is bad news for Trump. Not only does the FBI have to reinvestigate every investigation this agent dealt with, they may also be able to flip him to get more information about Oleg Deripaska.

Take the time to think through some of the things you hear. Simple way to see it.--- If Oleg Deripaska had this FBI agent and Trump in his pocket. This FBI Agent was investigating Oleg Deripaska's relationship with Trump. What conclusion would you expect this FBI Agent to come up with?

Black communities were less violent during Jim Crow than now which is a major blow to the theory that racism is the root cause of the problem.

You really said that Black communities were less violent during Jim Crow? Where is the source for this? Stats? Records?

That's the kind of response you get when you realize you've been backed into a corner with a rather ridiculous argument. Your next argument will be there was less violence in Black communities during slavery.

Do not just read the following, research it too. It might help you understand how and what drunk with power people do.

That would require actually reading something with an openness to actually learning something/having your mind changed.

So what are you talking about? what are the factors you are talking about? They have free schools and the rest is aspiration or desire to study and ignore distractions. but no father to make sure the kid is on the right path.

Trying to be kind here, but your understanding of this is shallow. Look it Nigeria gained it's independence in 1960, 4 years before the Civil Rights act which outlawed discrimination against Black Americans. Tell me, why is Nigeria trending downward. Is it the lack of Nigerian families?

Black poverty rates reached historic laws under Trump. Unfortunately that didn't do much for the dozens getting killed in gang-related hits every week in black communities.

That didn't answer the question. Trump ran on the platform make America Great Again. I showed you the dates/history. When was America great for Black Americans? So, who's America is Trump referring to when he says Make America Great Again?

Why are you dodging the question? Again, when was America Great for Black Americans and Black families. Give me a year.

CoolUsername:
Underage drunk disorderly, reckless driving, and failure to show up for a hearing are sighting different from robbery, assault, kidnapping, and attempted murder don't you agree?

I never said that all black people were criminals but the removal of the father figure in the black family has leda rise in violent criminality among black youth. Guess who suffers the most? Young black men.
Addressing the real issue is what will save black lives.

1.) You didn't read the full record. You seem to have missed the assault part for both her and her husband.

2.) I ask you again, which you still haven't answered, what time in history(what years exactly) do you think the black family was better off? The fact that you can't answer this means your theory isn't ready for prime time. Study some more and tweak your theory so it at least aligns with history.

benalvino3:
A picture is worth a thousand words.

Exactly as I thought. Serious people with serious ideas can express those ideas in words.

Democrats fought hard to take this right from blacks. They don't want them to protect themselves.

That's how they killed black Wallstreet and put black people down.

Meanwhile Republicans fought so hard for gun rights for African Americans.

Now tell me the difference between those blacks who had guns back then and the ones who have illegal guns today?

Back then they have legitimate reason to fight against governments and people who are racists etc... Today, the gangs with the guns shoot themselves.

Every week.

You really sound confused. Instead of using Dem and Rep (since you don't seem to understand realignment). You would do well to use "The party representing southern states" and "The party representing northern states". If you want to sound like you make any sense.

benalvino3:
It can't be legally own because even the cartridge is modified.

You know they are gangs... The evidence is there for you to see. Except you think what you see is a poster from a movie.

What explicit point you are trying to make? Why don't you state a complete idea without images or gifs or a post from someone else.

CoolUsername:
Because they black 💀

No because the guy to the right of that picture, NBA Youngboy is a drill rapper known for violent gang activity and has multiple convictions.

Again, google Boebert criminal history. And she is a sitting congresswoman. By selecting one image and using that to brush a whole race of people, while not charactering the white race by a similar image, you're further propagating the fear, bias and racism against black people. And the odd thing is you are black.

I was watching "Shanty Town" on Netflix this weekend. All Nigerians, must be these brutal hoodlums and ashawo right?. Because that is what I saw in a movie right?

benalvino3:
What's the difference? Go to Chicago and see how brothers are slaughtering each other and tell ask me what's the difference again.

Guns legally owned by parents and their kids vs illegal guns in the hands of gangs with no regards for life.

I don't know how you cannot spot the difference. Kids are trained you don't point a gun at someone or somone holding a camera while the gangs are reckless

You don't know if those black people legally own the guns or are in gangs. What you saw is people with black skin holding guns and you have been socialized by whatever site you are continuously on to see that as scary. While white people with guns don't (like those White supremacists at the Charlottesville march you defended).

CoolUsername:
The removal of the father figure from the black family is probably the biggest problem that black youth face today.

Yeah, really? Tell me what time frame you think black families would have been more successful in. Here are some dates and when significant things happened. The problem is a lot of people on this board don't know any history.

1857 - Dred Scott Case
1896 - Plessy v. Ferguson
1954 - Brown v. Board of Education,
1955 - Emmett Till killed
1955 - Rosa Parks
1963 - Martin Luther King - I have a Dream
1964 - Civil Rights Act
1965 - Voting Rights Act
1968 - Martin Luther King assasinated
2008 - Obama Becomes President

Prior convictions

You looked at both pictures and assume people in one pic have prior convictions and the people in the other pic don't? Why is that?

Honestly, why are people on this thread who aren't doctor's, pharmacists or don't work in the regulatory agency dispensing information about why this was or wasn't banned? Doctor's aren't infallible. It's your body and your health at the end of the day. The pharmacist's info does raise alarms whether true or not. Research it some more yourself and only listen to people here who actually know, not guessing.

I had a similar experience in the US. A doctor recommended two drugs. The pharmacist filling it warned that there could be adverse affects if taken together. Spoke to a brilliant doctor friend of mine, who said, yeah you could have a heart attack if you had taken them both. She told me to have the doctor prescribe X instead. Spoke to the doctor and he wouldn't acknowledge he made a mistake, but said X was probably a better drug for me. Never saw him again.

benalvino3:
Black Americans, are the only race that need to go backwards.

Back then dems want to disarm the black people. Today, they want to disarm every law abiding citizens except the criminals you see.

Ask yourself what year do you think black people were doing better than now? Give me a year. Why don't you contrast that picture with this one. This is the family of a sitting Congresswoman. What's the difference in the pics?

Basilico's posts in this thread are unreal. Do we actually know if he's a real life Black Nigerian. These posts are nauseating.

On a broader note, given all the issues that the Nigerian police have, and given that in the US we are finally coming to the place where we are getting more accountability for the Police, why are some Nigerians here trying to claw that back by defending it? Very weird use of your time. It would seem you would try to use it as a springboard to try to get equal or even more accountability for the Security apparatus in Nigeria. When I'm in Nigeria, I stay at a hotel near the tollgate. So what happened there feels especially close to home.

Medical professionals are jumping like headless chickens. I am giving you facts. Professionals can be biased. I quoted them saying he has a fatal level of fentanyl in his system and then they pivot to but, some people can survive it some would not. well, how are the police even supposed to know all these circumstances?

Interesting post. You acknowledge professionals can be biased. But you can't be? The issue isn't that he had fentanyl in his system, the issue is did he have enough in his system to cause death. The answer was no, so that "but" is very important. Anyhow, I was impressed with the qualifications of the prosecution expert witness, in fact I may be wrong (long time ago) but I believe he wrote some of the learning material (textbook) that the defense expert witness learned from.

Republican leader admitting trying to crash the supply chain and the US economy right before Christmas.

that's not true... no healthy person has died in the same circumstance I am aware of. if there is please present it.
Toni Timpa died in the same way fluid died. The knee was at his back. Timpa was on cocaine just as the resent one that happened.



people who testified it was Homicide are also telling you this



they did not prove that the Knee killed him, they said it complicated things. if the Fentanyl was killing him, the knee to the neck made matters worse... it will be like the ambulance getting stuck at traffic. the main cause of death is still fentanyl overdose.



peoples heart has stopped without a knee to the neck.

No one in healthy condition has died as a result of a knee to the neck else it would have been banned long ago.

Listen, you're not arguing with me, you are arguing with medical professionals who were qualified as expert witnesses who testified in court. Maybe you can call them, or Chauvin's defense team, present your qualifications and explain to them why they were wrong. You should hurry, I believe there is a current appeals hearing and they may need your help.

benalvino3:
he also said he ate too many drugs.
check the Effect of a Fentanyl overdose. I did some research about it... it is a silent killer. easy to overdose on.

They had testimony from a couple of medical experts in their fields. They testified that 1.) A healthy person would have died in the same circumstances that Floyd was in. 2.) The amount of drugs in his system did not effect the outcome. You are welcome to present your expert qualifications to refute these doctors.

Again all of this is in the trial.

CoolUsername:
I literally watched the video.

Really? Then why the post? The Medical Examiner testified. Dr Martin Tobin testified. Both contrary to what your post tried to imply.

basilico:
Sometimes I pity white people
They can't dare say he word Nigger in public ,While black people use it s zillion times a day
And musicians black use it all the time.

You pity white people can't use the word Nigger? This comment is nuts. You should really delete it.

This thread though.

Someone who posts here who is on probably on his 10+ username (keeps getting banned), posts post after post letting the forum know when/where he's supposedly "traveling", posts that he's drinking Hennessey w/ while partying with Big Boys in Abuja and London (while still finding time to post on this forum), posts pics of women who he claims he is sleeping with for money, posts tales of the 3k ashawo he's slept with in the begger's thread(apropos topic name), posts telling other guys he will fux them up the a$$, posts telling women he will fux their mothers and sisters, posts attempting to troll people repeatedly, and after this post will probably post 100 more rage filed posts, is now talking about someone else posting because they were once bullied and seeking attention? Holy lack of self-awareness.

CoolUsername:
That's why he was negligent. He was patient with Floyd for 45 minutes before Floyd asked to be put on the ground. Then he performed a move that was in the police training handbook. His refusal to take Floyd and the crowd's complaint seriously even up to the point where Floyd went limp is where he screwed up.

Let's not forget how many politicians commented on the case. Let's not forget that you could literally here a mob of protesters from within the courtroom. Let's not forget that Maxine Waters stated that said mob would get more 'confrontational' if a guilty verdict wasn't reached. Let's not forget that the jury want sequestered for the duration of the trial. The autopsy even said that Floyd didn't die of asphyxia. Does that sound like a fair trial to you?

This post is contrary to the evidence and Expert witnesses who testified in the trial. I think you should go watch/re-watch the trial. Not going to redebate this trial here. But most of this post is wrong.

Here is a good article to start:

A New Mexico prosecutor on Thursday charged actor Alec Baldwin and others in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during the filming of Western “Rust.”

BS charge. Over Charged. They charged him because who he is. Again, "Liberals" get shafted to make a point they aren't being biased. And in turn are biased.

benalvino3:
stop wasting your time. ignore posts you don't like. the Mods cannot win this war trust me. their platform is not designed to really censor anyone.

Their platform is designed to censor people. Hence the repeated bans. Their site is not designed to prevent those without shame and seemingly a life from waking up every morning putting on a VPN and creating a new moniker. Honestly, when did being a troll become a badge of honor?

adamusuleiman1:
Sinema is asked at Davos about leaving the Democratic Party. She criticizes Dems for trying to change filibuster rules and pass voting rights legislation. She calls Kevin McCarthy "a dear friend of mine."

She's a phony. Can't wait till she loses. She can make her point about her belief that the filibuster is necessary. But then to argue that somehow because we actually had an election with a violence free presidential transition(that is what we have to celebrate now) that that makes it fair and representative and so we don't need a voting rights bill, is nonsense and not in the spirit of MLK. The fact that people wait in line hours to vote and that there are gerrymandered districts means it is not fair nor representative.

She's the perfect Republican's Democrat. The type that washes away all their sins by continuously saying both parties are the same, therefore Republican craziness isn't exceptional. False equivalencies.

Donjazet2:
Regulation is good. Over-regulation is bad.

There are some Democrat counties where before you are granted license to build your structure, you have to commit to some tree planting endeavours. Of course that's an additional expense added. In some California suburbs, some "carbon neutral" premises are included which include additional costs for the developer. All these are what adds up to homes being soo expensive or out of reach.


If you watched that video, Bill Maher is pointing out the efficiency of China in getting these done and the extreme difficulty for the US in getting things done.

Look at California. Tge richest state in the US, unable to construct high speed rail because of several bearucratic bottlenecks.

When does regulation become over regulation? But China's efficiency in getting things done vs the US is more a debate over Democracies vs autocracies. Every 4 years we have new elections which may usher in a new leader with new priorities. China has a leader for life who directs what he thinks should be the national priority for as long as he is alive. And we also have an incalcitrant Republican party which doesn't seemed interested in actually governing. I keep asking people what legislation Republicans have passed int he last 20 years that have helped America.

Also, part of China's success is it's low standard of living compared to developed countries. When it's citizens decide they longer want to work as modern day slaves, that'll effect China's manufacturing industry and Chinas pocket book.
