Whether the jury says guilty or not in Floyd's case, there will be riots. Hell, there are already riots right now.
Even if that were true, how much value does "expressing grief and empathy" really have when you're not fucking doing anything?
My mom rationalized this as proof that the covid is so much more infectious than the flu.
Gaslighting and trying to encourage Stockholm Syndrome, lol.
They should try paying them not to riot.

Officer was trying to cuff him by the rear driver side door of his car, with the driver side door still open. As he was getting cuffed he suddenly started fighting and tried to get back into his car and flee. Lady cop pulls out gun and shouts "I'll tase you I'll tase you!" Guy keeps struggling. She fires her "taser" and into his chest and immediately realizes what she did and drops her gun and shouts oh fuck I just shot him.
Roll credits.
As soon as she shot she panicked as she realized what she did and dropped the gun lmao.
From what I can tell, he was arrested and released in February for aggravated robbery and failed to appear in court so had an arrest warrant against him.

REEEEEEEEEEEE
This is true if you're talking about your chest being compressed and unable to expand.
But if there is an obstruction that is blocking your windpipe and hence your vocal cords, then you would likely be unable to make any sound at all, or only very quiet raspy sounds by a slow trickle of air around the blockage.
If the neck being compressed was what was obstructing his breathing then he shouldn't have been able to shout anything. If there is not enough of a blockage to prevent you from expelling air out powerfully enough to shout then there was not enough blockage to prevent you from intaking air either. If it was chest compression then the neck press wasn't what killed him and therefore the media narrative is still wrong and Chauvin's knee on his neck still wasn't murder.
What does this mean in terms of the rest of us?
The progressive branch of the left is in agreement with the right that the democrat establishment is bad and running rampant.
They just still somehow thought that was preferable to Trump because "nazi" and they thought maybe they could get the establishment to kneel before them, but then immediately got shunned once Biden got elected.
There might be a bit of "enemy of my enemy" going on here.
Sure. You weren't entirely wrong about anything but missing key context that changes everything.
mRNA is a script that codes for a protein. But mRNA can't create proteins. It'd be like saying that if I put a blueprint in the middle of a street that it will create a building that blocks the street. The mRNA is the set of instructions for how to make a specific protein. It has to go into the cells where other proteins and enzymes then make that protein. I will not happen randomly in your blood stream because that machinery is not there to do it. Also the protein encoded for by the COVID vaccine is a membrane-bound protein so it would migrate to the cell membrane and stay there. Not spill into your blood stream.
Proteins naturally fold into their most thermodynamically stable form under normal cell conditions. Yes, it's possible that a misfolded protein can happen and it can cause problems but this is pretty rare. Prion diseases are indeed caused by misfolded proteins but it's misfolding of a specific type of protein and prion diseases are almost entirely neurodegenerative disorders as far as I'm aware. They're still not super well understood though.
Blood clots are most often formed by platelet aggregation in the bloodstream.
Believe it or not, they're verifying the signatures. You know, just to make sure that the petition results were legit. Because we wouldn't want to have petition fraud happening in California.
You can't logic someone out of a position that they did not logic themselves into.
Also how little fentanyl is needed to kill you...
This is what a lethal dose of fentanyl looks like.
mrna that creates proteins into your blood would cause blood clots.
That's not how mRNA works.
Or how proteins work.
Or blood clots.
Isn't that the same shit that causes mad cow.
No. Mad Cow is caused by a prion disorder.
I won't go so far as to say that he did nothing wrong. I think after Floyd passed out that Chauvin should have stopped and checked more thoroughly and administered whatever medical aid he could.
But then again the hostile crowd being distracting and a potential threat and Floyd being a massive man who if faking could easily overpower Chauvin if he let his guard down led Chauvin to decide that he was just gonna stay put until ambulance comes and he gets more backup.
Murder should definitely be off the table though. Maybe some charge related to negligence might be applicable. But in a fair world he should be acquitted of all of his current charges and maybe slapped with a more minor charge. But we know that's not gonna happen.
Also I still love how they've established absolutely ZERO evidence that anything he did was racially motivated. Just because he's white and Floyd is black everyone just assumes that he did it because Chauvin must hate black folks.
China doesn’t have strong “Good Samaritan” laws
You can say that again... I saw a video of a person collapsing in the middle of the road and about a half dozen cars just RAN OVER THEM and kept going. No one bothered to stop and help. Bystanders just walked past and said nothing.
Was fucking surreal to watch.
Almost literally the plot of To Kill A Mockingbird, just with the races reversed.
To try to explain a bit more thoroughly, what every vaccine for COVID does is try to introduce the immune system to COVID's Spike protein. The spike protein is the only part of the virus that is visible to the immune system because COVID is an enveloped virus. Enveloped viruses don't burst out and kill the host cell like other viruses do, they actually slowly bud off over time and steal a portion of the host cell's membrane which wraps around them and makes them less immunogenic, since the immune system recognizes the cell membrane as a self-membrane. But in order to bind to and infect other cells, it needs at least one receptor on the surface. This is the spike protein, which binds to the ACE2 receptor on human cells and initiates infection.
So we need to introduce the immune system to this protein without the rest of the virus to prime the immune system to recognize and eliminate it. Different companies have taken different approaches to doing this. NovaVax is making a protein-based vaccine. This one has lipid particles (simulates a cell membrane) embedded with spike proteins that get injected into your body. For the others you have to understand a bit more about what's called The Central Dogma of Molecular Biology. That's the pathway from DNA to proteins.
You probably know of the importance of your genome (DNA) but maybe don't know how it works. Essentially, your DNA dictates the formation of proteins, which then perform the majority of cellular tasks. What proteins get created depends on how your DNA is regulated and unfolded but that's really complicated and not super relevant here. But essentially, your cells will decide that it needs more of protein A. So it opens up access to Gene A on your DNA in the cell's nucleus. Specialized enzymes will then read that gene, cut out all the bits it doesn't need and turn it into a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule for protein A. This is called a transcript. The mRNA then leaves the nucleus and another set of enzymes will translate that mRNA transcript into a protein. This mRNA can lead to the production of hundreds or even thousands of proteins, but it eventually degrades and breaks down after a few hours or a day or two at most.
So then to make spike protein we have two other avenues that rely on the cell machinery to produce it for us.
Pfizer and Moderna's vaccines are mRNA vaccines. They contain the mRNA transcript code to produce COVID spike protein stabillized in lipid nanoparticles. These get injected, enter into the cells and proceed directly into protein synthesis in the cells. The spike protein gets created en-masse in the cells which get the mRNA, and since spike protein is a membrane-bound protein, it will migrate to the cell membrane and get noticed by the immune system. Unfortunately this recognition will result in the immune system KILLING those cells. This is one of the causes of concern with these vaccines. Depending on which cells get infected (which is not controlled) it results in the death of those cells.
Astra Zeneca and Johnson and Johnson went with adenovirus vectors. They take an adenovirus shell and replace its genome with a DNA strand encoding for the spike protein. The virus then infects your cells like normal, but does not have the information to reproduce the virus and continue a chain of infection. It only injects the DNA for COVID spike protein. This DNA then gets transcribed into mRNA and then into spike proteins.
DNA is much more stable than RNA which is why the storage conditions are much more favourable than the mRNA vaccines.
Hope that helps a bit.
Both are ultimately mRNA vaccines, they just have different delivery methods for the mRNA.
J&J is a viral vector vaccine. It uses an adenovirus shell to inject DNA into your cells. The DNA then gets transcribed into mRNA and then works the same as the other vaccines from there. The others have the mRNA in stabilized lipid spheres.
Well first of all idk if she was healthy. Secondly I don't know how they're saying she died. Both need to be established.
