depends on the state

but from what i remember they charged chauvin with 2nd degree which requires intent

ah no

apparently theres a culpable negligence clause

Yepper..

@Maw, you just advanced to level 31!

@nainani *"What other reasons than police brutality could he have trouble not breathing"*

its very hard to not breathe, isnt it?

@nainani generally, however, in medicine, we like t deduce that when someone says "I cant breathe" - that is a clear sign they are breathing.

In fact, when someone enters the ER and calls out "I cant breathe!!!" we look at eachother and go "well, thank god, at least he is able to breathe"

This being a clever deduction from knowing how the vocal cords of the humans work.

@Maw Can you *please* keep at least the case-rooms clean? For me?

@Doc In regards to prior off-topic conversation or?

No, in regards to opinionitis now embracing both the election channel and general chat.

I understand that this is good for business, so I will join you in celebrating it.

Its just that I miss the law.

(that is me, personally. Opinions sell better than learning, of course.)

I get it, just keep in mind, as of yesterday I have to deal with a roommate that has covid, and potentially myself as well. I have a harder time keeping track of everything lately.

I did not know that, sorry to have bothered you with a detail.

And let me know if I can be of help.

@Maw March 13 for Breona -- tragedy, but she wasn't the angel people wish her to be.

@Roadtrek Girl, you just advanced to level 5!

@Doc said colloidal silver is the promised land. I mean, I have questions, but who could take exception to what the Doc says.

Doc never said that. Doc recommends Iron if doc is to recommend a metal!

silver is for the greedy, steel for the brave!

Point?

The counter example to @William Dinan theory that everything before the but is b*******. In this case the b******* came after the but.

A prime example to make a flattering statement prior to discussing true intentions? The "But" separates the Two.

Yikes.... I am so sorry. I was an early victim. Some fool crashed into a car in front of me sending them both off an embankment. Myself and another guy went down to help. An elderly lady was unresponsive in one car. Doors wouldn't open so me being the smallest guy I crawled in to unlock seat belt and help get her out. Turns out the fool driving her was rushing her to the hospital with what turned out to be CoVid. Unfortunately, she passed away.

I got it from that encounter and it kicked my ass. Im 25 and not in terrible shape, I swim laps almost daily, but wow did it do a number on me. I hope all goes well. Happy Thoughts To You!!!!

Yeah... those type of "buts" do little to disguise the true intent.... just like mine does little to disguise too many visits to the Cheesecake Factory @meglide and @William Dinan

Huh? Where have you been? There were major protests in 2016. This issues have been protested for years. What exactly do you think the NFL players were kneeling about?

It just finally got to a true world wide enough is enough point.

And not to be cynical, as I am absolutely a BLM supporter, the fact that so many people were laid off or furlough due to CoVid likely had something to do with the size of some of the protests. Just being real.

@Maw hope you feel better soon I had Covid also.

@JD~Jordan so, you are absolutely for Marxism and the destruction of the nuclear family, believe that being on time is a form of white supremecy,and want critical ract theory to be taught in school so students are trained to a) have a victim mentality or b) feel ashamed of being white?

bad police officers need to be prosecuted. But not all police are bad people.

*all police officers are not bad people

What are you babbling about?
I am a capitalist. Check out my portfolio. Right now, deciding on whether to buy my niece a share of AAPL or ARKK for her birthday coming up. I want her to learn the market.

You need to stop trying to put people in little moronic boxes. It only shows your inability for critical thought.... Until you have something more nuanced to say, dont tag me.

Well, it is not babbling. You stated, "...[A]s I am absolutely a BLM supporter..."

they are a Marxist group. This is according to their founder. You can see her on youtube saying it.

"BLM" has nothing to do with black lives mattering. See. Unlike you, I am not coming at you in an insulting manner. I asked you if you stood for what they stand for since you "absolutely support" BLM. I am not putting you in a box. I'm quoting you. But if me asking you a question about what you said means I lack the ability to think critically, well, you are entitled to your liliputhian psuedo intellectual twattle.

Let me guess...I am racist for asking you f you support the Marxist ideology of the Marxist organization that you absolutely support, right?

Im really not the one for you stupid little games. BLM MOVEMENT is just that a grass roots movement. It is TRUE that one of the "johnny come lately leaders" is herself a "trained marxist" (whatever the fuck that means) but that in no fucking way means the group as a whole is Marxists

Additionally.... I said BLM M O V E M E N T .... the fucking MOVEMENT..... wipe whatever right wing horseshit you have been staring out out of your eyes and read what I type or go the fuck away... either is fine by me
