  Vaccine Passports: THIS Is Where It Leads

  this is a good watch.. i agree with it 100% - the people pushing for everyone having to carry id are the ones that have shown over and over again that they can't be trusted with people's information.

  the tech companies want it because they would be able to link online tracking and information logging with people's real-world activities.

  the government wants it because they would have control over people and movement.. both should be chilling to anyone with half a brain.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uggvgke0n8o.

  Based on all sorts of completely reliable research done by the left, black people seem to be unable to obtain any sort of identification. So ....

  Derek Chauvin - The Right to a Fair Trial

  anyone following the derek chauvin trial?.

  if you are actually following it, not just listening to the media, you will likely realize that there is a huge gap between what is going on in court and what is being reported in the media.. if the trial was fair, i think he should be acquitted.

  there is plenty of reasonable doubt about the cause of death (his dealer doesn't want to testify because he could be guilty of 3rd degree murder for selling him a fatal amount of fentanyl) and even doubt over whether the officer even had his knee on the guys neck or did anything counter to what they were meant to do as per policy.. but is it fair?

  No MMM, They’re not lying , they’re panicking. Not many untrained people in that situation are capable of being rational. I expect that’s kinda the point.

  A distinction without a difference in this case. If he can say he can’t breathe, panicked or not, he can still breathe.

  But look, I agree at the point he was put on the ground, he was probably feeling panic. But that’s the problem with a criminal throwing every fake excuse out to avoid arrest - if there is real distress, it is that much less believable. Even before he was on the ground, he was saying he can’t breathe. It was all boy-who-cried-wolf to some extent.

  @Rocket: Context. Crowd.

  All these procedures are qualified with “if situation permits” or “if reasonable”. What is reasonable is left up to the people in the situation.

  If what you're saying was really universally true ("no one cares") then mankind would have gone one step back.

  To be clear, just about everyone in the world, with the exception of your true KKK types (0.0000001% of the population), cares about being non-racist. And all of those people are, in fact, not racist at all. That only applies to the real definition of racism.

  On the other hand, the left has defined “racism” as “someone that I don’t agree with”. Economic policy, political policy, foreign policy, if you don’t agree, somehow, with some twisted form of logic, you are a rrrrrraaaaacccist! That’s the bullshirt nobody cares about any longer.

  In this case - any other conclusion that Chauvin was a racist cop, out hunting blacks, and - to the left - you are a big fat racity racist.

  Pffft lol.

  Simon doesn’t need to trace your IP. This board is monitored by the Kerfuffles - the elite group of JWs, slowly taking over the world.

  Just to note, the hold down position that Chauvin made couldn't been too restrictive because Floyd could still talk and did so for a few minutes of being held that way.

  I’ve heard a lot of people make that point. If someone says they can’t breathe, they are lying. If you can speak, you are moving air across your vocal chords. You can breathe. Add to that all the other fake complaints like “I’m claustrophobic, I can’t go in the car!” .... riiight, they just pulled him out of his own car.

  If there is an acquittal and those cops get off scott free without any charges being laid, expect riots in the streets once again.

  Exactly. It’s more about a perceived wrong, rather than an actual crime. So, feelings over facts. Otherwise - foolhardy. That’s really not justice.

  Officers are charged with the well-being of suspects in their custody - true. But those rules are always qualified, as was brought out during the trial. Officers should take care *if circumstances allow*, or *if reasonable*, etc. The context matters. He had been resisting. He had been making excuses and lying, he had been going into fits, he was on something, the crowds were hostile. That translates into a reasonable officer at the time, in the situation, making a decision. The prosecution’s use-of-force expert said, under those conditions, it would have been reasonable to just tase him, which is a greater use of force. Technically Chauvin held back.

  I think, in this case, the jury might not consider “beyond a reasonable doubt” as the standard. Rather, for them, it will be “beyond a reasonable doubt my city won’t burn down if I let this innocent guy go”.

  Also, police often take what seem to be the unnecessarily cruel path because there are other factors non-police normally don’t consider - like the common occurs of people faking, popping up, and beating the shit out of cops.

  All these threads about cops ‘not needing to escalate that quickly’ or ‘taking extreme force’ do not consider that the cops have to stay in front of the situation. They can’t risk a guy tricking them and getting them into a vulnerable situation.
