Fair enough.

While its far from my realm of expertise, having heard what I have I'm left with more questions and very few answers.

I'll just nitpick one thing you said, and that's that the act of choking a person (via a hold constricting the neck in some way) causes strangulation and that blood flow is immediately restored if the heart is still pumping when pressure is relieved.

This series of events, however, just seems so far-fetched. I'm prior Army and if you'd told me that it was reasonable to assume that weight loaded onto a torso for a period of 9 minutes could suffocate someone, I would never have joined - or survived my contract.

Beyond a reasonable doubt doesn't seem to have been achieved. Reduced oxygen intake when combined with a myriad of other highly irregular factors that a reasonable person would not expect (presence of high levels of a cocktail of drugs) might have played some part in the death.

I'm not at all convinced it was the leading cause of fatality, nor that it would be reasonable for anyone to expect what Chauvin did to kill anyone.

To an extent necessary to get whatever oxygen possible to the brain and other vital organs to stave off failure due to hypoxia long enough to get the heart beating again.

I know that's what it attempts to do, but at an extent as efficient as if the heart were pumping normally? I really don't know.

I guess with supplemental oxygen it could be possible, it just seems really unbelievable to me and I can't find any studies that talk about what blood oxygenation typically looks like right after a failed resuscitation attempt.

I legitimately don't know.

But is it really reasonable to assume that a patient who was dead prior to the onset of resuscitative efforts really would achieve that level of saturation if their death had been caused by a prolonged inhibition of gas exchange?

Is it likely?

As a laymen, I'm doubtful. My wife put a pulse ox on my finger and it read 97% while just sitting on the couch.

I understand that I'm breathing room air and not 100% o2. It just seems like an unreal proposition to say that someone who was slowly suffocated and subsequently had a heart attack and was never successfully revived would have perfectly normal levels.

Do we know a time frame for when this test sample was even taken?

I'm really looking for information on this and can't find anything that doesn't focus specifically on supplemental oxygen following an already successful resuscitation.

Seems like a reasonable question. But if the heart is no longer beating, where does the exchanged oxygen then go and where is the CO2 being drawn from to expel from the body to achieve a safe level of saturation?

Because this wasn't actually a Nike authorized product. All of the headlines everywhere said "Limited edition Satan Nikes"

That's an attempt to profit off of someone else's trademark.

She seemed to leverage their relationship to resounding success, landing her own fashion brand that currently sells stupid frilly shirts for 300$.

I don't feel the least bit sorry for her.

Brave is a browser - an alternative to using chrome, firefox or edge - with a focus on privacy, and the optional ability to view notification ads and be compensated for that.

Highly recommended.

Not that its super important, but this isn't Nas, aka 'Nasty Nas' of Illmatic fame.

The real Nas often references god in his lyrics and had quite a lot of wholesome, positive messaging in some of his most popular songs.

This degenerate is something else entirely...

Said agent sued the city of Columbus for excessive force on the part of the officers. I can't find anything about a resolution to that suit yet.

But in the suit his attorney alleges:

After suffering physical and psychological injuries, Burk was placed on an administrative role within ATF. https://www.ticklethewire.com/tag/columbus-police-department/

Suck it faggot.

Problem with the latter proposition is, as he walks away, you see the people holding the booms stand up still holding onto said booms.

Are you out of your fucking mind? All you have to do is pause the video and scroll it frame by frame yourself.

I'm not sure why if someone layered mics onto the footage they would go through the trouble to go through each frame and layer his hands back on top, making the image appear incorrect.

In other words, no that's a moronic assertion. This is blatantly him filmed in front of a green screen having been layered on top of other footage.

Not trying to start a fire, but they are citizens and US army soldiers.

That said, its definitely inappropriate for them to be following around a congressman for political visits under any pretense.
