It’s worthless from a persuasive perspective

Is it? If it could actually be proven conclusively, or if "she" was pushed hard enough to admit the truth, suddenly a huge "conspiracy theory" is proven true. I don't think that would be worthless.

We can win without it, sure, but it I don't think it's a worthless thing to pursue.

I don't know, she could probably get a job as a CEO of reddit in a few years when it's a ghost town of a website.

Ballots should be blank. No names. Would weaken the two party system a little if every candidate was a write-in.

It's funny. I work for the government indirectly, as a contractor, it's constantly made clear that while government employees can have a political opinion, they really need to keep it to themselves to avoid an apparent or actual violation of the Hatch Act.

Can we lock these guys up, please?

So the teacher's unions websites are being shut down? Please.

Hollywood sues Babylon bee: "that isn't satire and we can prove it!"

Racism, defined as institutional racism against blacks and other minorities. Per that definition, racism against whites does not exist.

Checking for a pulse does not mean a pulse isn't found, which you seem to be assuming.

YOU stated that FD medics found GF unresponsive and pulseless.

That never occurred, you are either misreading or you are misremembering.

You can't possibly claim CPR wasn't performed. The autopsy found a broken rib from CPR.

Yes, it was performed when his heart stopped and he had no pulse, but that wasn't until long after he was already in the ambulance.

Your scenario requires that medical personal find no pulse, slowly move Floyd to the ambulance, and then eventually perform CPR 15 minutes or more after pulse was lost. That isn't how it works. If you check for pulse and there isn't one you either start CPR immediately or begin funeral arrangements. You never wait.

Either way you have GF unofficially dead at around 8:37, when FD medics found GF unresponsive and pulseless.

What is your source?

Emergency medical technicians checked Floyd's pulse.

That does NOT say no pulse was found. Critically, CPR was not administered, so if no pulse was found then the medical technicians were not doing their job. Common sense indicates that a pulse was found, otherwise they would have immediatly started CPR.

Again, I welcome you to provide an alternative source that contradicts the apparent facts I have found so far. Your words alone, without evidence, don't convince me.

Please provide a source. This is the timeline I have seen presented:

Medical response and death At 8:27 pm, a Hennepin County ambulance arrived. Shortly thereafter, a young relative of the owner of Cup Foods attempted to intervene, but was pushed back by Thao. Emergency medical technicians checked Floyd's pulse. Chauvin kept his knee on Floyd's neck for almost a minute after the ambulance arrived, despite Floyd being silent and motionless. Prosecutors said that Chauvin's knee was on Floyd's neck for seven minutes and forty-six seconds.

Around 8:29, Floyd was lifted by paramedics onto a stretcher, then loaded into an ambulance which departed for Hennepin County Medical Center. En route, the ambulance requested assistance from the Minneapolis Fire Department. At 8:32, firefighters arrived at Cup Foods; according to their report, the police officers gave no clear information regarding Floyd's condition or whereabouts, which delayed their ability to find the ambulance. Meanwhile, the ambulance reported that Floyd was entering cardiac arrest and again requested assistance, asking firefighters to meet them at the corner of 36th Street and Park Avenue. Five minutes later, the fire department reached the ambulance; two fire department medics who boarded the ambulance found Floyd unresponsive and pulseless.

So pulse is checked at 8:27pm. Floyd was listed into the ambulance at 8:29. At 8:32 the ambulance reported Floyed was entering cardiac arrest. At no point in-between was CPR reportedly performed.

You don't check pulse, find no pulse, and than NOT perform CPR.

If you have a better source that contradicts the above timeline, please provide it. It's not easy to find unbiased information, but the above timeline was pieced together with video evidence and can easily be confirmed by reviewing the released videos at the same timestamps.

Mask policy may actually be illegal, I don't remember what state the OP is in.

In VA, it's illegal to wear a mask or face covering unless there is a state of emergency declared - it's actually a felony. A business policy doesn't trump state law.

You didn't read the transcript of events did you?

You know no such thing

Sure, it's possible there was a grand conspiracy and everyone cooperated to hide the cause of death. But more likely than not, the transcript is accurate. CPR was not performed because Floyd was alive. The only way that isn't true is that everyone on the ambulance lied and cooperated to in some conspiracy to save a crooked cop. Is that what you believe?

There is no contradiction. We know from the medical examination that the knee to his neck did no damage, and he died from a drug overdose. I can't predict the future so far as saying exactly how it would have played out, but he was dead at his own hand from the drugs regardless.

You can't know what would have happened otherwise. It's entirely possible Floyd would have ran out into an oncoming bus and died if he wasn't fully restrained as he was. It's also absolutely possible he would have died from his drug overdose regardless of what was done. And finally, on video Floyd ASKS to be put down on the ground because of his pain or trouble breathing or whatever. I could see this whole thing playing out with the exact same end effect if the cops kept him standing:

"oh those bastard cops, Floyd was dying and suffering and they wouldn't even let him lie down"

"oh those bastard cops, they knew he was crazy on drugs but they decided to not restrain him fully and he got ran over by a bus, those bastards killed him!"

"oh those damn racist cops, if it was a white guy they would have peacefully placed him on the ground and held him until medical help arrived, but since he was black they instead forced him into a police car where he was highly claustrophobic and the stress was too much for his heart causing him to have a heart attack!"

Neither of us can predict the future, but the medical examiners report stated cause of death would have occurred regardless of the knee to the neck. George Floyd would have died regardless. Either you are a crazy conspiracy theorist who believes every single cop and medical person present was in on the conspiracy, or you didn't really read the medical report.

Unless the medical report and transcripts are a lie, we know CPR wasn't started on scene, which means the paramedics did get a pulse, which means Floyd was alive.

I mean, it could be a grand conspiracy among 4+ cops, 3+ medical personal, maybe. But I think it's a lot more likely he died later.

Yes. He died long after the knee was removed from his neck. Some idiot was trying to tell me he died and was resuscitated by paramedics before dying again, so the cop really did kill him - the only problem with that theory is none of the transcripts anywhere mention resuscitation, and they do mention paramedics checking for pulse. The only rational explanation is that they checked for pulse and found one, as standard protocol otherwise would be to start CPR.

Reddit is garbage. I was maintaining my account for a few months after coming over here, but a few weeks ago I just realized the people who are still active and posting are so far gone to the left it's not even worth trying to discuss anything with them.

Deleted my account and spending my time up here instead.

TL;DR: nothing of value was lost.

Haven't they suffraged enough?

You do realize that "hundreds of thousands" is still less than 1% of "billions"?

It's awesome how they are both stupid and liars. If they were actually smart liars they would be tougher to detect.

Well China was and still is provably lying.

I don't know who said billions were killed by coronavirus, but it's plainly obvious China was lying when they went from 4-6k new cases daily to suddenly 0 new cases.

Judges make bad calls. This hasn't been tested on the supreme court.

Jealous of the land you own.

I've been saying that for years. Besides, it's an extra layer of insult for victims of "non-hate" crimes.

"Ma'am, your son was murdered by a serial killer, but on the plus side we can confirm that this wasn't a hate crime so you can mourn your son while knowing he wasn't killed for racial reasons, isn't that wonderful?"
