Race in America - Riots Explode in Chicago

On cue, here comes the Democratic Party and all their woke birdbrains demanding The Masters leave Georgia. Georgia has more voting days than most states. Their sin: asking for identification to register.

What totalitarian anti American loons this party has become. Anyone willingly affiliating with it should be roundly mocked. Forever.

They don’t want clean voting for a reason, folks.

Hopefully the people that run the Masters tell all of these people to go pound sand. Anybody that wants to boycott can stay home and watch a basebore game.

Basebore in the context of golf?

Baseball has sadly regressed to being more boring than golf. When it takes 2 minutes between each pitch for the batter to readjust everything on his body.

Dude golf sucks balls and I’ve somehow managed to play rounds on like 5/7 top ranked courses in the country for business. Probably picked up 80-82 of the 90 hole because I suck the huge balls when it comes to golf but at least in baseball folks run occasionally, have contact with other natural things in the world (ground or human being) and don’t drive carts and pay kids to carry their equipment around. (Except relief pitchers)

Golf is a different animal. It can be frustrating as hell. That time you drive the ball 250 yards off the tee strait as an arrow always makes you forget how bad everything else in your game goes. I grew up loving baseball. My friends and I would play all of the time. If I wasn't as old as I I would still love playing the game. Watching on TV for me is painful. The game is too damn slow.

Don’t disagree that baseball has been ruined, mainly by IMO a lot of people that don’t really understand the analytics they employ and have stripped the sport out of the sport. However, how much golf do you watch on tv? Used to take clients to the Tour championship and everyone in the tent we’d be in was drinking and watching falcons games, occasionally looking up when someone they’d “liked” was at the green. Golf is embedded in the Atlanta area and I can’t stand it.

I don't watch any golf just as i watch very little if any baseball. I do love to play golf. i stink at it but it is just a chance to go out with friends and hack around for 18 holes and shoot the breeze. It is less about the game and more about being with friends and maybe a few cold ones on the 19th hole. My buddies make fun of me all the time. i golf with my dads old clubs.

My grips are so old they’ve dried out and are cracking everywhere

[old salt]

In the coverage of the recent thwarted intrusion of the Capitol grounds, has anyone seen whether or not the pop-up barrier which stopped the car was already in the up position & the intruder purposely rammed it, or did it pop up automatically, or did the police activate it ?
Regardless, the pre-1/6 physical security measures that were already in place worked.

Also, does anyone know where the 2 police officers were, relative to the barricade & the entrance gate/stop light when they were run down ?

The Bell 212/214 " Huey" which landed nearby & offloaded 2 officers was reportedly a Park Police helo.
When post 9-11 flight restrictions were first implemented in DC airspace, PP helos (with a sniper in each side door) were used to intercept low & slow flying aircraft which ventured into that restricted airspace. This was publicized to general aviation pilots & helo pilots in the region.
They may have already been airborne or on alert, for quick response to airborne intrusions or other security threats.

Derek Chauvin violated department policies, and other key testimony from day 6 of his murder trial


Monday kicked off the second week of testimony in Derek Chauvin's trial in the death of George Floyd.

Chauvin violated department policies and training, police leadership testified.

Chief Arradondo said Chauvin shouldn't have used a neck restraint when Floyd wasn't resisting.



On the sixth day of testimony in the trial of fired Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin, jurors heard from department leadership about the training and policies employees pledge to abide by.

Chauvin, they said, was not following that guidance when he kneeled on George Floyd's neck for more than nine minutes.

Chauvin violated department policies for use of force and rendering medical aid during his interaction with Floyd, Chief Medaria Arradondo testified Monday.


Arradondo told the jury Chauvin should have stopped using a neck restraint - which may have initially been reasonable - on Floyd once he was no longer resisting.

The neck restraint used on Floyd was not something officers learn in training, either, Minneapolis Police Inspector Katie Marie Blackwell testified.

"I don't know what kind of improvised position that is," said Blackwell, who ran the department's training programs. "It is not what we train."

Monday kicked off the second week of testimony in Chauvin's trial on murder and manslaughter charges. Floyd died on May 25, 2020, after Chauvin kneeled on his neck while he was prone and handcuffed for more than nine minutes.

Aside from police leadership, the jury also heard Monday from the emergency room doctor who tried to resuscitate Floyd.

Police chief says Chauvin's use of force violated policy
Arradondo testified Monday that Chauvin violated the department's use of force policy on the day of George Floyd's death.

Department policy allows for neck restraints under specific circumstances, the chief said.

A "conscious neck restraint" -one that doesn't leave someone unconscious - is only acceptable when someone is actively resisting arrest, Arradondo said, and the officer must use "light to moderate" pressure.

An "unconscious neck restraint," which results in someone passing out, is limited to situations when an officer is in fear of great bodily harm, the chief said.

Arradondo "vehemently" disagreed that Chauvin carried out an appropriate use of force under those guidelines.

"There is an initial reasonableness, trying to just get him under control in the first few seconds," he said, but the use of force should have stopped when Floyd was no longer resisting - especially when he was motionless.

"To continue to apply that level of force to a person proned out, handcuffed behind their back, that in no way, shape, or form is anything that is by policy," the police chief said. "It's not part of our training. It's not part of our ethics or our values."

Arredondo also spent significant time walking the jury through the training officers in his department receive and how they assess when use of force is necessary.

When deciding how much force to use, he said officers are trained to consider the severity of a crime, a suspect's threat to safety, and whether they're resisting or trying to flee police.

"While it is absolutely imperative that our officers go home at the end of our shift, we want to make sure and ensure that our community members go home too and so the sanctity of life is absolutely vital ... that is the pillar for our use of force," the chief said.

Calling in a counterfeit bill wouldn't normally lead to an arrest


Arradondo told the jury that a call to respond to a suspect using a counterfeit bill, like the call that kicked off the police interaction with Floyd, wouldn't "typically" result in an arrest.

Police work in conjunction with the courts and jails to try and limit the people taken into custody to those who've committed a violent felony, he said, and "we can always charge via complaint and other things."

Police 'absolutely have a duty to render' emergency care
Arradondo said officers are trained in basic medical care and have a duty to use it during emergencies.

Most employees in the department know how to initiate care for issues involving airway, breathing, and circulation, he said.

"I mentioned that we are oftentimes going to be the first ones to respond to someone who needs medical attention and so we absolutely have a duty to render that aid," he said.

When paramedics arrived on the scene on May 25, Floyd didn't have a pulse and no officer had started emergency care, medics previously testified.

"I agree that the defendant violated our policy in terms of rendering aid," Arradondo said.

Doctor who pronounced Floyd dead said he thought it was due to oxygen loss
Dr. Bradford Langenfeld, the emergency department doctor who treated George Floyd, testified that his leading theory for the cause of death was asphyxia, or loss of oxygen.

When Floyd came in, he was "pulseless" and Langenfeld and the medical team worked to resuscitate him without success.

Langenfeld said paramedics who brought Floyd to the hospital didn't mention they suspected possible drug overdose or a heart attack.

Floyd was in cardiac arrest when he arrived at the hospital, but Langenfeld said that simply means his heart stopped beating and it could have happened for a number of reasons.

Chauvin's attorney, Eric Nelson, asked the doctor if he ever tried to use Narcan, the drug overdose reversal medication, on Floyd. Langenfeld said he had not.

Narcan "would provide no benefit" once a person is in cardiac arrest, he said.






There is no question that Chauvin committed an act of murder in an arrest that should never have happened in the first place.

More than 50 convictions vacated over former cop accused of perjury


https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/mo ... d=msedgntp



One by one, Brooklyn Criminal Court Judge Keisha Espinal vacated more than 50 drug convictions that had been based on the testimony of former NYPD detective Joseph Franco.

Franco was charged two years ago with perjury in Manhattan and while there's no evidence of misconduct in his Brooklyn cases from 2004-2011, the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office said it had lost confidence in the prosecutions.

"The district attorney has determined that under these circumstances the vacature of a drug related conviction serves the interest of justice, preserves limited resources, enhances public safety and strengthens trust in the criminal justice system," Assistant District Attorney Eric Sonnenschein said during a Wednesday morning hearing.

Dozens more cases were set to be dismissed later Wednesday in a separate hearing.

Sonnenschein, the deputy director of the office's conviction review unit, said Franco's alleged criminal conduct could not have been known to prosecutors or defense attorneys at the time since it wasn't charged until years later.

"The people have not discovered the defendants' convictions were based on fabricated evidence or that the defendants are innocent," Sonnenschein said.

However, Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said in a statement that he had "lost confidence in cases where the detective was an essential witness."

Another crooked cop gets BUSTED.

[Brooklyn]

Hey Petey ~ have you found your "proof" of attempted jury intimidations by political leftists in Minneapolis?

[jhu72]

WOW! The prosecution has brought in a world class expert pulmonologist. He is wrapping Chauvin up in a bag, refuting all of the defense's BS about "if he can speak he can't be choking"; "fentanyl caused the death"; etc. The pulmonologist claims Chauvin kept his knee on Floyd's "neck minutes after there was not one ounce of oxygen left in the body". He gives a narrative of what is going on in Floyd's body tic by tic on the video around the time of death, which he identifies on the video. He explains all the medical forensic data observed by the paramedics and the doctors in the hospital.

WOW, very impressive.

[njbill]

Yeah, he is very good. Let’s see how he does on cross.

[youthathletics]

Interesting.....

Prosecutor uses the term 'Overdose' in cross over and over as the questioning takes place with Pulmonary doctor, and the Defense never uses the overdose term....thus trying to argue it was a 'contributing factor' to his death that would not show as a typical Fentanyl Overdoes.

I had a family member die from a fentanyl OD and it is indeed immediate....he still had the needle stuck in his arm; never even had time to pull it out. I think the prosecutor may have over played the OD card, but doubt it has any consequence in the end.


Mr. Peabody (Isenschmid) graphs try to argue Floyd’s low ratio of norfentanyl as compared to 19185 other post mortem cases is misleading in this case, because the math equation to calculate that ratio assumes someone did not just take a dose prior to death, where the body can not break it down to increase the ratio. The fact Floyd had a reading of 5 ng/ml of norfentanyl indicates it was active during the chaos of this incident.

I never heard how long it takes for the avg body to break fentanyl down, which creates the norfentanyl.

[jhu72]

Yeah, he is very good. Let’s see how he does on cross.

I was out of the house all afternoon so I didn't see the cross. How did he do??

[njbill]

I thought he did well. The defense did get him to say that if Floyd ingested the drugs found in the cop car when he was in the car, then the maximum effect of the fentanyl would’ve been five minutes later when he was on the ground with the cops on top of him. But on redirect, the doctor said Floyd’s breathing during the time he was on the ground was not consistent with a fentanyl overdose. The state has called other witnesses downplaying the effect of fentanyl on Floyd. Of course, the defense is expected to present contradictory evidence.

I thought this was the first day in which defense counsel might have shown some effects of going solo. Not much, but a little bit around the edges. He asked a couple of bad questions. Seemed to get a little lost in his notes, more than he has before. Got mixed up about when an updated report was provided to his team.

Having said that, I think he is doing a very good job for a guy doing everything himself. Everything, at least in terms of court room examination. There is much chatter about who he has behind the scenes.

The prosecution, on the other hand, has four attorneys examining witnesses and multiples more working in support roles.

If defense counsel really is on his own, this may show up when he puts his expert witnesses on the stand.

It is one thing to prepare for cross-examination by yourself. It is quite another to prepare an expert. The latter can be very time consuming. Hard to do that in the evening after a full day of trial.

I’ve been interested in trying to see who on the prosecution team is in the court room when they have the wide-angle shots, which are pretty infrequent. Can’t really tell. It is almost certainly the case that some of the team are out of the court room preparing witnesses.

No worries. Word is that the defense will be calling none other than Petey Brown as an expert to testify on his views.

It is all just a lefty woke narrative. Floyd died of other causes.

Still shocking stuff from the Gator troll. But, of course, not surprising at all:

The coroner has come out with his results. They don't square with your preferred narrative.

More importantly, you are wrong here: the cop did not torture the guy 'to death'. He died of other causes, assuming the coroner is not corrupt and issued his findings in a neutral manner (which I will assume since coroners aren't generally partisan).

[Peter Brown]

I can find deeper conversations in a kindergarten classroom than listening to Fanlax libs bleat on incessantly about any chosen topic. Seriously you bozos are like a cackling clatch of yapping yentas demanding attention for your fragile egos.

I’ve been released, so I’ll do my best to straighten out the lib birdbrains once again, as tedious as that role might be.

As to Chauvin, I assume you fellows will not just talk the talk but actually walk the walk if he’s found innocent or there’s a hung jury. Because similarly ‘challenged’ Democrats are aching to burn down multiple cities right now for any reason.

Not that any Democrats actually care about Floyd!!! As if. No, the average Democrat simply expects to act out his childish id with zero consequence, so naturally innocent stores must be looted then torched.

Fine group you run with.
