Instead of worrying about what some unarmed black guy minding his business is doing, wouldn't it be good to have an inner barbarian, in case some white guy (or girl) decided it was a good idea to start a fire sale and send us all back to the Stone Age. That way you wouldn't be living in a state of constant panic every time the government showed you some statistics or showed you horrific news to try to scare you into changing your behavior. Doesn't that seem like the bigger threat if you are using good threat assessment?

Get the Barbarismmug. A lot of business owners almost seem okay with the shutdowns and being left with nothing. That doesn't help anybody else out either.

Get the Shutdownsmug. 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 sensemug. No matter who you meet in life, or have love for, hopefully your partner is your husband or wife, and you don't ever need any other partner.
The guy's wife thought that a retarded guy she knew would never know like she knew that she already had a partner and did not need any other partner, so when she got tired of him trying to play with her hair, she talked to his friend George about it. A few days later George walked down into the woods with the guy, and walked out of the woods back into town alone.

Get the Partnermug. Don't start the next season off crushed, finish the entire season before you go into the offseason, even if you dont make the playoffs.

Get the Playoffsmug. Even if someone tries to light a fire under your ass, take your time even if it's harder not to rush. When you try to do something on somebody else's rhythm that isn't your own, you'll never get to find yours.

Get the Failuremug. Its better to be Mr./Mrs. Nobody than to be the somebody you're not and be loved by the world for it.
