Don't worry I hear Apple is coming out with a new product the 1st gen Apple iHeart. Plus if I donated my organs anyone who received them would be less healthy then they currently are.
"Are you registered as an organ donor?" As far as I know, I am...
"Alternate Universe First Contact Race. Which do you prefer?: Klingons OR Romulans?" That's a bit like asking, "Would you prefer to be trampled by a donkey or an elephant?"
Japan trip has been officially canceled, not a huge surprise. We could go, but according to current rules on base would be restricted to the base for the whole 2 weeks. The first week would be only the shop and hotel.
Well, that's it for testimony. On Monday the jurors will hear closing arguments, be given the jury instructions, and the ball will be in their court.
The defense is well and truly screwed here. That "expert witness" they put on the stand who set forth his opinion carbon monoxide contributed heavily to George Floyd's demise did far more harm than good. The cross-examination of that expert was brutal. Not only was the CO theory shredded, it turned out that expert kind of cherry picked his information while making some far fetched and unsubstantiated claims about asphyxiation in general.
I don't know who dropped the ball here. Whether the defense did not fully vet that expert, the expert failed to cover all his bases, or all of the above, someone really fumbled the ball here. That expert did more damage to the defense than all the prosecution's expert witnesses combined. However it is kind of telling that was the best the defense could get while the prosecution had experts lining up to testify for free on their behalf.
Proposing those kinds of ridiculous theories opened the door for the prosecution to recall one of their expert witnesses, Dr. Martin Tobin. This man has 46 years in pulmonology and he quite literally wrote the book on it. Seriously, he did: https://www.amazon.com/Principles-Practice-Mechanical-Ventilation-2nd/dp/0071447679/
Dr. Tobin put the final nail in the coffin around the defense case. He did it with clear, concise explanations in just about 30 minutes.
Here's a little bit of reality. If anyone resists arrest with force, as George Floyd did, the odds are greater than zero that person is going to be injured, and possibly killed. Those odds go up when your health isn't all that good in the first place.
Those officers had every right to hang on to George Floyd and take him to the ground. Especially after he exited the police car. They are trained to do so. We saw pages from the MPD training manual complete with pictures.
The police officers in this case lost focus on their prisoner as people started yelling at them. In a confrontation like that the human internal time scale dilates. It is easy to not realize how much time has passed. Chances are those officers felt like they only had Floyd on the deck for a couple minutes.
But all that aside, there is a saying among law enforcement that varies from department to department. That saying is words to the effect of, "In your custody is in your care." These officers failed to notice their prisoner stopped breathing. In fact, they may have misinterpreted a brief anoxic seizure as further struggling rather than a sign Floyd's heart just stopped. They further ignored people telling them he stopped breathing and denied an off duty firefighter, who recognized what was happening, a chance to begin CPR.
Frankly, I think Chauvin is going to go down a lot harder for this than is warranted. However, no matter how hard he goes down, this city is going to burn again. No question about it. The Brooklyn Park shooting was the tipping point.
The last pieces needed for my promotion package finally fell into place. Everything was sent up the chain of command so hopefully it will all go through sometime this summer.

We chat, we debate, we talk about the weather, we talk about stuff we like, stuff we hate, random stuff, and more stuff. But, it is never stuffy. Usually, it is about meeting your fellow Texans and talking about the latest and most interesting stuff in NationStates at the moment. But then again, sometimes NationStates does not even come up. It is wide-open chatting with peeps from around The World both IRL and NS. It is Texans, EuroTexans, WannabeTexans, ex-Texans, VirtualTexans, and plenty of Friends of Texans. We have it all and all are welcome. Texas Chat, 835 weeks and running! For the math-challenged, that is over 16½ years! Check it out! Good stuff!
Today's Sunday Surprise Beverage is Make - Your - Own - Beverage Day! I've got lots of Large Boxes full of drink making ingredients stacked up right here and I'm going to beam them directly into the home of every Texan in Texas. Everyone will receive a Large Box and it'll materialize on the table closest to you. With all the drink ingredients in your box you can make Almond Berry Smoothies, Georgia Peach Smoothies and Creamy Banana Strawberry Split Smoothies. There's enough ingredients to make 3 glasses of each drink. You can keep the Instructional Guide CD as my gift to you:
When blending drinks in your blender always add your ice at the end so it doesn't jam up the blender. Also if you've got alcohol in your house and you desire an alcoholic drink just mix your own booze into the beverages.
And today I've included a large container filled with No-Bake Fig Newton Bites in everyone’s Box. These little snack bites are gluten-free, vegan, healthy and sure to be a tasty treat for y’all!
I hope y'all enjoy today's Sunday Surprise Snack and Beverages Texans. Yeehaw! :)
If I do not stay here, someone else would have to. Frankly I think it is important that as many people who want to watch this trial are able to see it. If enough people see it and learn the entire story, perhaps the activists and the media will not succeed in burning our cities again this spring.
There is a plan to bail us out before things get too intense. However, we'll see what happens to this plan upon first contact with the enemy.
Good for you. E-2 at last! Oooops... I meant E-5. :) Congrats.
I'm not sure what makes me more angry. The fact some a******s fired on the National Guard, or the fact service members, ordered into the area to try to keep the peace are not allowed to return fire.
Had I been in charge of the ROE, these service members would have had the option, and been encouraged to hose that vehicle down.
The idea these people have to hunker down in their Humvee and take fire without so much as yelling back at the shooters, let alone retuning fire is pure bull$#!+. If they are not allowed to defend themselves, they should not be there. ------------------------- https://www.startribune.com/minnesota-national-guard-says-members-sustained-minor-injuries-in-sunday-morning-drive-by-shooting-i/600047408/
