Wasn't for sure to post this in /f/news or /f/clownworld . I always thought the "we want reparations for something none of us has ever experienced" thing was sort of a meme, but here we are.

I'm not sure how you'd even determine who would qualify. In America, many (the majority, I believe) of African Americans immigrated after the civil war.

I mean, it'd just fallover to a backup location Aside from some small outages, it'd have no real major impact on the availability of the interent and websites and the greatest impact would be obviously the potential loss of life in such an attack.

Now, backhoes, scuba gear and fiber lines is another story if internet infrastructure disruption is a goal... It'd all get replaced / patched eventually but it'd still fuck shit up for a while.

“The U.S. Government is the #1 enemy of Black people!" a caption on one video read. In another post on the Instagram account, Green wrote last week that he believed Farrakhan had saved him "after the terrible afflictions I have suffered presumably by the CIA and FBI, government agencies of the United States of America."

Responding to a comment on that post, Green wrote, “I have suffered multiple home break ins, food poisonings, assaults, unauthorized operations in the hospital, mind control.” https://edition.cnn.com/politics/live-news/capitol-security-threat-04-02-21/h_ffa25ab3eab707b711515c0c863c887a

Seems like he was mainly motivated by these beliefs rather than Nation of Islam.

The continued existence of agencies like the CIA, FBI and NSA is just bad for the mental health of anyone who knows enough about what they're capable of and what they have been responsible for. It's especially bad for anyone with schizophrenia or schizotypal personality disorder. But even for normal people, it's bad. "The government is collecting information about me and they might use something against me later" should be a paranoid delusion, not a real thing.

I think most people who think they are being gang stalked are schizophrenic or schizotypal. But I'm guessing at least a few normal people have been experimented on. Any intelligence agency would be interested in science of torturing someone in an untraceable way that drives them crazy. The "sound attacks" in Cuba back in 2017 is an example of some government using an untraceable method to harass people at a distance.

I read one explanation on a website about gang stalking. It described a scenario similar to this.

You go to the grocery store, and someone who passes you is looking you in the eyes angrily while clicking a pen". You go out to your car after paying and in the parking lot, you see a different person angrily looking you in the eyes while clicking a pen. You go to a restaurant. A customer at a table across from you is angrily looking at you in the eyes while clicking a pen.

I thought, you know, since the government can easily track people through their smartphones, this wouldn't be that hard to pull off. And it would even make a normal person really paranoid. They would start getting nervous any time they see someone holding a pen or clicking a pen. They might start noticing a lot of coincidences that are benign, like a series of people wearing red.

People should be put into the recovery position on their sides

As a former EMT I know this can't be done with a cuffed suspect. Given his altered state of consciousness, he was an immediate danger to himself and the bystanders around him. Therefore, he could not be released from the cuffs either. Ambulances have soft restraints that they can use to restrain a suspect to the stretcher, but little could be done until the ambulance arrived.

a knee to the back between shoulder blades

Pressure on the chest cavity can absolutely impede breathing in a weak or sedated individual. As long as there is no previous neck trauma, knee on neck, as Chauvin did, is not life threatening. It's super uncomfortable and can lead to non-life threatening neck trauma.

"Sudden In Custody Death Syndrome"

Most people have never been restrained in their adult life. Some people freak out to the point of unconsciousness just from being placed in cuffs. This even happens to people who were calm right up to the instant of being cuffed. If the person had drugs in them or heart problems then it can definitely be fatal. However, Floyd served time in prison, so he should have been able to handle being cuffed.

I'm not sure they'll find Floyd's past relevant in the case. When he robbed that pregnant lady at gun point and held the gun to her belly / baby that was in Texas, I think. I know he was arrested in Minneapolis a couple years prior to the Chauvin thing. Was a passenger in a vehicle with no plates/tags, and when pulled over was caught on body camera trying to swallow a bunch of pills, pills that they also found in his seat. Not sure if there is anything else in his past beyond those two things.

I'm not certain those things will be brought up during the trial unless it is used to prove Chauvin was aware of Floyd or due to his previous violent offense (armed robbery and threatening a pregnant lady with a gun) that Chauvin felt that additional restraint was needed... or something.

Pretty sure all LEO get your info from all states when they run your ID anyway now that I think about it so it's possible that they knew that they had a previous violent felon in their custody and took measures that are now seen as excessive whereas they wouldn't had everything come back clear. Who knows?
