Get the Revealing mug.Even if you dont have a law degree, or a background in criminal justice, common sense tells you that it's unlikely somebody will still be breathing after their airway has been restricted for over 8 minutes. If you've been on a guys neck for a long time, you dont tend to forget his airway has been restricted by a lot of your body weight for a long time, especially not when he's reminding you by saying he can't breathe. 8 minutes is not 2 or 3 minutes, enough time has passed by 8 minutes that adrenaline has stabilized some, especially with an alleged suspect in handcuffs the entire time, and other officers there to assist you in keeping the alleged suspect restrained. The question you would think a family pressing for first degree murder would ask is not whether the death was intentional (since theres not really a way to unintentionally kneel on someone's neck for 8 minutes, 2 or 3 minutes or so might be unintentional if the alleged suspect still dies), but whether any of the actions of what came before the arrest were premeditated, such as the alleged counterfeiting call and what events lead up to the arrest.
First degree murder is premeditated, that's simple enough, not all murder is first degree. Running over an animal on the road is usually an example of unintentional death, it's an accident and usually accidents happen quickly (though there are people who would run one over and claim it was an accident, most of the time it is an accident). Spending 8 minutes taking a life isn't something you usually do by mistake though, that's all common sense.

Get the Common sense mug.With newer technology, the auto industry didnt improve and make wolves and grizzlies to go with the cougars, and theres no lions, tigers, cheetahs, or leopards to go with Jaguars, instead they got names like vibe, flex, and solstice now. The auto industries in other countries are laughing at these names.

Get the Technology mug.The opposite of a mental midget, someone who is a 9 foot tall ogre in their mind, even if they're five foot nothing.
Guy 1- Why is he/she always slouching like that?
Guy 2-He/she is a mental giant, slouching makes him her look a little bit more predatory and a little bit less silly, so nobody will mess with him/her.
Guy 1- Oh yea, why didnt I think of that?
Guy 2-He/she is a mental giant, slouching makes him her look a little bit more predatory and a little bit less silly, so nobody will mess with him/her.

The cowardly guy/girl thought that grabbing power made him/her/their group appear to be a stronger person/group than he/she/they actually were.

Get the Cowardly mug.Since humans have a way of telling stories that makes another group the bad guys, most stories are too good to be true stories, whether they are stories you hear often about triumphant European groups, or stories about the triumph of other groups than Europeans.
If the (American) Indians had invaded and took over Europe, the stories of the triumph of their human spirit would sound like bullshit to Europeans because they would know it was the way the Indians were telling history. The Indians would also know the dehumanized European stories of survival and oppression in the Indian's new world were bullshit too, since any group of humans can tell a too good to be true story, making another group sound like the most inhuman pieces of shit that ever lived, the bible has plenty of them. The reality is each and every group is as human and as inhuman as the next, there is no more or less human group, not the oppressor, not the oppressed. There are no innocent, pure humans, innocent applies only to animals. Groups of oppressed people have also raped, tortured, and killed each other, and members of other groups, even if plenty of bad shit happened to them too, no matter how good a movie/book makes their group or their story look. If an American Indian or an Aboriginie tells a story, their audience shouldn't not question the full story because it was told by a rare living member of an Indian or Aboriginie group because their group is few in numbers, any more than they shouldn't not question a story told by an Anglo-Saxon.
