Devils Advocate: I think the argument there is that you can't be sure. Of course you could measure at one point and measure there the next year too, but that could just be random weather, or a particularly warm year. Of course, that argument falls completely apart, if you spread it out over many places and several years and the measurements are pretty much consistent everywhere. But even then, how do you ensure that you measure every place equally? Maybe all that cold water just moved to the Mariana trench? It's slightly (but not significantly) harder than looking at a thermometer and noticing that it went up.

Line-crossing ceremonies are a very old naval tradition, and there are quite a few of them. Crossing the Equator and paying your respects to King Neptune gets you inducted into the Order of Trusty Shellbacks. Specifics of the ceremony have changed over time and place. The outright abuse and hazing has mostly died out in the US Navy these days.

Although there is still an element of fun mystery, so you don't really tell people what they're in for beforehand.

There's some WWII movies and any number of individual memoirs and histories that capture some of the ritual. More like skits and plays and someone needs to be the woman.

5, They didn’t didn’t give a drat once they pulverized him
6. It took like 20 mins for any EMT to arrive

I try to support the police.

But this is simply a murder by police.

I hope those 5 cops meet people like them in prison so they can understand what they did.

Seriously, first thing they do is drag him out of the car? Why? What reason did they do that?

He is on the ground asking why? He is trying to make eye contact, not resist. He is confused by the aggressive nature of these cops. Listen to the initial dialogue. He wants to know what he has done to be treated that way. And then they taser him for ‘not complying?’

A cop roughs me up for a traffic stop, I want to know why too. Normal reaction. We need to stop confusing normal reactions with resisting.
