lithium-ion batteries that sit in your new laptop, mobile phone, tablet, toys, cordless drill, cordless whatever..all use cobalt and other rare metals All this batteries driven consumerism, including cars, is an environmental nightmare in the making. Everyone knows it and everyone's marching on like lemmings towards a cliff
To put that video closer to home think about Margaret Thatcher. In a 2002 interview she was asked what was her greatest achievement. “Tony Blair and New Labour. We forced our opponents to change their minds.”
I don't think Chauvin has a neuron, or two missing. One might like the idea of it to make it easier to understand what he did. And in the process feel less uncomfortable about the person standing right next to us. We are all animals good at pretending we're somehow elevated. Until that one day
I wish it was different but that's not how I see it.

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner released its toxicology findings and say George died from cardiopulmonary arrest ... which complicated law enforcement's subdual, restraint and neck compression of him. That is critical, but the report also says this under "how the injury occurred" -- it says George experienced "a cardiopulmonary arrest while being restrained by law enforcement."
In other words ... he suffered a heart attack while they were arresting him, and that complicated their efforts to subdue him.
The report says George had fentanyl in his system, and they also found signs of recent methamphetamine use. It also says his manner of death is homicide.
The results were released just hours after the Floyd family's independent autopsy showed he died from "mechanical asphyxia" ... due to Derek Chauvin's knee on his neck, and another officer on his back.
China is offering a government buy-out to wildlife farmers in two provinces to help transition those whose livelihoods depend on breeding wild species for consumption away from the practice.
The buy-out plans were published at the end of last week and would give wildlife farmers in Hunan and Jiangxi provinces, two neighbouring regions in the southeast of the country, the opportunity to be compensated for switching to grow fruit, vegetables, tea plants, or herbs for traditional Chinese medicine. There is also an option to breed other animals such as pigs and chickens.
The Hennepin county attorney said Derek Chauvin has been charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter.
“There may be subsequent charges later,” Mike Freeman told reporters at a press conference. He said a detailed complaint would be made available this afternoon. When asked why the other three fired police officers had not yet been arrested, Freeman said, “We felt it appropriate to focus on the most dangerous perpetrator.” He later said he anticipated charges to be filed against them, but he did not get into details. Freeman emphasized he and his team would not have moved ahead with the case if they were not confident they had evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that the officer was guilty. “As of right now, we have that,” Freeman said.
Freeman noted Chauvin was arrested less than four days after George Floyd’s death. “That’s extraordinary,” said Freeman, who has been criticized for not arresting Chauvin more quickly. “We have never charged a case in that kind of time frame.”
That's not extraordinary, that is shocking and embarrassing, shameful
It wont be one or the other, J might need the distraction caused by the rest of the team. It probably would not be a happy ending regardless. The hostage taker's behaviour at first sight is illogic with regards of the killings. On the other hand he came prepared with rollers and paint. It all makes him very dangerous. What else did he prepare ? and what else is going/will go on in town?
What time of year is it? And what was the phone's ringtone ? If it was Xmas time and another jingle-bells going off one would fully understand the shooting.
J will not be removed from his unit, depending on the order he was given. Was the order take out the target when you have a clear shot? take out the target asap regardless of cost? Anyway, that building would get stormed. With a trigger happy hostage taker like that the longer one waits the higher the death toll. His number is up
One and a half acres of forest is cut down every second. Planting trees will not cause water shortage, deforestation will. When the forest goes people will as well, but then we're a suicidal bunch and keep on logging
