Okay, I read your statement as saying he was torturing him.

Lol, he's not torturing him. He's restraining him. Police have to restrain people all the time. When you have to do that all the time, you get jaded to it. Remember, people who become cops are not stage Turquoise hippies like you and me. They are meathead dudes who drink beer and watch UFC.

That's because you've never experienced or contemplated the realities of being a cop. You think of it as some easy job when it is not. Cops deal with assholes and criminals every day for years. This makes it very easy to get jaded. They have to stop caring because otherwise they couldn't keep doing their jobs. You can't be a bleeding heart hippie with every asshole who spits in your face and trying to stab you. Exactly. You are not doing that. I want all of you here to imagine just for one minute how you would arrest a drunk person who spits in your face and resists arrest. How would you handle such a person?

Hehehe.... Just no. Being indifferent to suffering is not a mental derangement. If it was, then everyone is guilty.

Check the boiling point of both chemicals. If bufo is lower than 5-MeO-DMT it's likely to get burned off. Obviously I haven't done the chemistry work to know for sure. At some point I'll probably smoke some venom and let you guys know if it's any different than pure synthetic.

That's good progress, but there is a much higher degree of Love that you could access by going deeper. That's all I'm pointing to. There are many degrees of Love. Access as much of it as you can stomach. If you go deep enough, you will die to it and never come back.

It is Infinite Love, but since you ain't fully conscious of Infinite Love, you ain't in Heaven. You are still living in fear, limitation, and separation. I have seen Infinite Love, so I know what it looks like. None of you here have it. You will have it only after you die.

It's gonna be so great you're gonna be tired of our climate greatness.

I said *SEEMS* Obviously I am not conducting a full trial here. We're just speculating.

Quite the contrary, my neutrality and objectivity is the very foundation of justice and the legal system. I am calling for an objective and fair trail and also police reform. This is not moral relativism. I cannot condemn a man without first hearing his side of the story. What's troublesome is justice by mob mentality and emotional outrage. I will await the officers' version of the story. If it sucks, well, that will be obvious and then I want to see a fair sentence.

Absolutely! That is the crux of the matter. I don't hear those words spoken in the video.

New crops will be invented. New ways of pollination will be invented. New land will be made. Humans are going to terraform this entire planet anyway. So... At some point we will have the technology to change the climate on the planet to whatever we want it to be. This era of climate catastrophe will merely be a blimp on the radar screen. In a few hundred years mankind will make the climate great again. And the Earth is robust enough to survive another few hundred years. Truth is an inconvenience to survival, I know.

That is not clear. He could of thought he was unconscious. My point is, just be mindful of the assumptions you guys make. The assumptions you're making are not directly evident in an objective viewing of the video. They are YOUR projections. The raw facts in the video can be interpreted in different ways. Which is exactly why an objective trial is necessary where all the possibilities are aired out and considered. Remember that facts can be easily recontextualized by other facts.

Well, you have to wonder, if this was an intentional murder, why was there a paramedic at all? Why did they call the paramedic? Murders don't usually call paramedics for their victims while engaged in murder. It would be interesting to hear that officer's POV and what was going through his mind during those 8 minutes. What will he say was his intention? What will be his defense? It's hard to judge the case without hearing his POV.

My bet is, if you accidentally shoot the bank teller in a robbery, that will count as an intentional killing even if you tell the judge that you didn't want to shoot her. Intention does not have to explicit. It was part of your intention to rob the bank.

I am in favor of strong climate change action right now. But since it won't be happening, we have to deal with it. Don't forget that the planet has been far hotter in its long history. So there is no way that a few degrees of climate change will kill off life. It will just change which life thrives. Some life thrives in the cold, some in the hot. In fact you could make an argument that life is easier for many lifeforms when the climate is hotter. Of course for humans it will be very costly to adapt to the changes and many will be dislocated. But that is the natural cost of inaction and improper voting.

Obviously he could have not killed him if he was concerned about his well-being. I am saying he was not concerned about his well-being.

You're right, I did not see the paramedic part. Not sure how to explain that.

Actually, that's exactly what it means. If you are robbing a bank with a loaded gun everyone knows there is high probability of shots fired and people dying. Intention is not merely about wanting to kill a person. Intention is a broader notion. You can't just rob a bank, shoot the teller, and then tell the judge, "But I didn't intent to kill her." That won't fly.

No. A bank robber is committing a crime. A police officer arresting a suspect is doing his job -- although he can do it recklessly. Have you ever thought about how difficult it is to arrest assholes all day long for years on end? Some of those people are on drugs, psychopaths, have mental issues, carry disease, will bite you, will try to kick you in the nuts, will have a hidden knife or a gun, etc. When a cop is arresting someone he can't assume the person is some sweetheart. Cops have to make dozens of arrests on a weekly basis. Try peacefully arresting a belligerent drunk person. I think he just under-estimated how quickly Floyd could die from that choke hold. 8 minutes seems like a long time but then again, 8 minutes can pass very quickly while your mind is distracted by other things. Maybe another person wouldn't have died under that same choke hold because they had better breathing. It can be difficult to gauge how much pressure to apply to which person.

The prosecutor is probably under a lot of political pressure. Just because he calls for it doesn't make it right. I'm no lawyer but Floyd's death looks unintentional to me. Whatever degree that is, is what it is. This should not be difficult for the judge to decide and in the end they're gonna have to prove it beyond reasonable doubt -- which isn't easy to do. My larger point what that this is not execution or terrorism or lynching. That would be 1st degree murder. And that's not going to fly in any courtroom. Police killing someone unintentionally during arrest is not an execution -- tragic though it is.

Your logic sounds good, but your current experience is not Heaven. If you think this here is heaven, wait till you see the real deal. You ain't in Heaven because you're too unconscious for Infinite Love. You might protest that you ARE conscious. But you are not. And the reason I know that is because you are still alive. The only reason you are alive is because you're not Infinitely Conscious.

Actually that's your projection and judgment. It was not an execution, it was an example of excessive force and carelessness. These are very different things. Terrorists are people who terrorize others for a political agenda. The police in Floyd's case are not terrorists unless we find out they are part of the KKK or some ideology like that. They were just police doing business as usual in that part of town, dealing with a suspicious guy who was not fully cooperating with them. And they used excessive force. I highly doubt their intention was to kill Floyd. If that was their intention they wouldn't have done it out in public like that. 3rd degree murder seems like the proper charge here. People who are calling for a higher charge are not being objective, they are seeking to exact revenge and a political agenda. You don't see a reason because you don't want to see one. The real political issue here is changing "business as usual", which is an issue of police training and culture.

People who are less pure, obviously. Psychopathic people. People with serious shadow issues. People who lack love. Mentally unstable people. Etc. The desire to terrorize people is a stantic quality which exists at low levels of consciousness or corrupted levels of higher consciousness.

Actually, yes, game development is horribly male dominated and white dominated. I was a bit shocked how little diversity existed at my game studio. Of course the major reason for this is that feminine females do not play hardcore games much. Try to find a hot female who is also a hardcore gamer. Very rare. I find that the more feminine a woman is the less she cares about hardcore gaming.
