tmp538394722on Ketamine that's injected during arrests draws new scrutiny

Elijah was wearing headphones. Since you’ve seen the video, how long from the moment the police are out of their cars before they put their hands on Elijah?

Would you put your hands on someone Who showed no physical resistance in that amount of time?

The Police escalate quickly, and then, since the situation has escalated, feel justified in their response, which killed Elijah. They killed Elijah.

Racism is a system. The police are (a major) part of that system.

Elijah McClain was not “ridiculously agitated”.

The video shows that police escalated every chance they got.

After receiving a phone call of a “suspicious person” they went from in their car to hands on Elijah in less than 10s.

In a matter of minutes Elijah was on the ground surrounded by a dozen officers.

They’re saying “was he suspected of anything”, “why are we here”?

They don’t even know why they’re there... but they know that they need to indiscriminately dominate a young black man until he’s puking and crying and ultimately has a heart attack.

Ridiculously agitated, my foot. They (Police) create the situation, then they (Police) prescribe ketamine. These are not the people who should be making these calls. No one should be allowed to have this kind of latitude when dealing with another human.

Elijah McClain did not resist arrest.

> I can’t breathe. I have my ID right here. My name is Elijah McClain. That’s my house. I was just going home. I’m an introvert. I’m just different. That’s all. I’m so sorry. I have no gun. I don’t do that stuff. I don’t do any fighting. Why are you attacking me? I don’t even kill flies! I don’t eat meat! But I don’t judge people, I don’t judge people who do eat meat. Forgive me. All I was trying to do was become better. I will do it. I will do anything. Sacrifice my identity, I’ll do it. You all are phenomenal. You are beautiful and I love you. Try to forgive me. I’m a mood Gemini. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. Ow, that really hurt. You are all very strong. Teamwork makes the dream work. Oh, I’m sorry I wasn’t trying to do that. I just can’t breathe correctly.

If you've seen the video footage of Elijah McClain you’d know there was no good reason for it to have been administered.

I mean, one conclusion is that Lyft and Uber are not charging enough to continue to operate.

I’d think a good ole fashioned taxi would work. Is there a reason you couldn’t or wouldn’t use one?

Thank you for explaining.

Why do you need read only WAL mode? Or do you just mean some processes are read only, while others can write?

Scale is relevant. It’s why people don’t typically make down payments on houses with sacks of nickles.

And why people don’t wire funds to buy a bag of snackums.

No. They didn’t say build a new protocol to rule them all.

On the contrary the argument was to build a locally minimal, but sufficient, protocol that doesn’t try to compete with other locally suitable protocols.

Looks at my wrist

Uh oh...

Or maybe because it’s a $6 watch...

Kinda like how 90% of murderers have been shown to eat bread within 12 hours of their killing.
