Seriously who gives a poo poo if one offhand comment is a correct dictionary definition or not? It comes off incredibly silly when the bigger issue is a woman being killed while in police custody.

Raerlynn posted:You tell me Kalman. You're the one that setup this hypothetical about administering medicine, not me. It seems unfair for me to have to predict circumstances that you're not describing. Like usual, people assume that any disagreement about anything means that I thought that the bad behavior was fine. I agree with you (for the what, third time now): it was brutality. Absolutely. Unquestionably. But not because it was "unnecessary and resulted in death." That's a loving dumb definition put forward by stupid loving people who don't know how words work. Like you.

Kalman posted:You pass out coughing up blood. I administer a hypothetical medication known to treat the most likely causes of that condition. You happen to be allergic and die. I don't think that would be "unnecessary and completely avoidable" given that you did everything in your information. Jarmak posted:I guess we can chalk you up as bad at English then So a "a treatment that causes unnecessary and completely avoidable death" is not "grossly ruthless or unfeeling"? It is not "cruel or cold-blooded", or "very bad or unpleasant"? I mean, brutal literally has a meaning that I posted, and you're going "nuh uh!" You might argue that the treatment itself in this case wasn't brutal, but something that was unnecessary and totally happened to kill a dude and didn't need to looks to me like it fits that pretty neatly. EDIT: oh wait lol Jarmak posted:That's not an analogy I don't think you're in any position to criticize anyone else's English skills, Jarmak.

Yeah, what you posted is loving retarded and when you post that 2+2=3 and then quote a source showing that 2+2=4 to prove it, it doesn't require more then a "nuh uh". This is why this thread sucks by the way, someone posts something retarded and there's two pages of people trying to defend it before transitioning to " why are you guys nitpicking"

tentative8e8op posted:I'm sorry if I'm wrong, but doesn't "excited delirium syndrome" simply mean that a medical examiner doesn't know what caused her death? Like, I thought such a result is only able to be made if a cause of death could not be determined, but an examiner knows she was very agitated beforehand. Lemming posted:"Excited delirium" is about as real as hysteria. It's code for "killed by police," sanitized it so it doesn't seem like it's the police's fault. VitalSigns posted:Treatment that causes unnecessary and completely avoidable death is brutal treatment, by definition. Toasticle posted:I never said anything about them being "morally culpable" for her death. I don't think anyone said the sole or even primary reason for her death was the tazing but it sure as gently caress didn't help. As for your second point: in many jobs, being able to say that you did everything according to established procedure is often the only thing that will save you if there is a massive gently caress-up resulting in a loss of life. Aviation, for example. Raerlynn posted:Stop it. Stop doing the same bullshit thing you've done before in this thread that Semper Wifi, Dead Reckoning, Actorhesus, and others have done. You're nit picking a word and trying to, out of the corner of your mouth, downplay how this was a terrible, horrible murder.

spacetoaster posted:What does that have to do with anything? Highschool kids have actually bombed their schools before. Because its not a bomb. It doesn't look like a bomb, as it had no attached explosives. The police admitted they never actually thought it was a bomb. The kid told everyone it wasn't a bomb. He was bringing it to school to show his engineering teacher. The fact that he is 14 matters when everyone hand-waves away an insane overreaction by saying "well, he should have known better than to try to bring a homemade clock to school as a brown kid". They handcuffed this kid in the middle of school, interrogated him without letting him contact his parents, and still claim it wasn't a clock. But lets blame the kid for not expecting this overreaction because of his skin color and name.

(check the power plug in the pic if you don't believe me) Also, there's no evidence thus far it ever had a "countdown" fyi. It just "went off" or "rang" during one class. The teacher of that class recognized it was a clock but said that since someone else might not, she was confiscating it. Later he was arrested for bringing the clock to school.

Well see, this cop knew that it was a simple electronics project to build a clock, and saw a lanky nerdy kid and thought, "Yeah, that's the sort of person who would be interested in STEM, it just makes sense"

This was obviously a ploy by the kid to build a device that would be confused as a bomb by idiots who have never actually seen an explosive, and then get the nation outraged, and then use that outrage to make sure the president hears about it and offers him a chance to come to the white house, so they can have their secret muslim meeting and use their mediators to destroy america.

Phone posted:I'd like to see a defense of the cop saying "I'm not surprised who it was" when the kid was pulled into an administrator's office. Being home to Texas Instruments, the local constabulary often have to deal with the wild proclivities of engineers, or 'gearheads' as they're known colloquially. They're an easily identifiably group, which can be determined through various 'pre-science indicators' such as glasses or clothing which venerates space or their own anarchist leadership, like Sagan or Hadfield. The officers, who are trained just like doctors, were immediately able to recognize the nerd 'to no surprise' and neutralize the threat. Those brave officers acted within policy, having all the reasonable suspicion needed to affect an arrest, namely something they didn't understand and a brown or black dude in close proximity to it. The important thing to remember is that everyone is at fault and by that measure no one is responsible, except the kid. He gets to live with that google search linking him to a bomb plot for the rest of his life... which leads to the old adage 'just because you're innocent doesn't mean you ain't getting hosed over'.

Dead Reckoning posted:There's a pretty extensive breakdown of the ME's reasoning in the report starting on page 46. In the report you yourself just linked, which you clearly didn't very much of, there was this quote: quote:The Medical Examiner's Report of Autopsy concludes that the manner of Ms. They specifically call out the taser as being a factor in her death. Dumbass. I don't think the cops went in there with the intent of killing her and I don't think anybody here has argued that at any point. However, they did kill her, and it was extremely unnecessary and in my opinion, negligent, because instead of trying to treat her like a mentally ill woman who needed help, they treated her like a rational violent criminal.

Be honest here guys for average people, people who don't consume a steady diet of ultra-violent videos from the middle east - a beeping case with exposed circuit broads, wires poking out, a red LED readout - that's all going to say "bomb" to them.
