The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets tonight for some lively political discussion over a drink. Stop by, if you can.
The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern (2409 10th Ave E, Seattle) starting at 8pm in the back room of the pub or out on the patio.
Chapters of Living Liberally are all over the place…if you can’t make it to the Seattle chapter, there is probably another nearby chapter for you.
Cheers,
Darryl

Fuck your Thoughts and Prayers spews:
Just in case you were wondering DC woke up to news of a mass shooting at Michigan State. These people have said absolutely nothing about it on social media or in person all day, which is, actually better than offering ‘thoughts and prayers’:
Ted “Get me on the stage with the cops at Uvalde” Cruz
Lauren “Shooters Bar and Grill/We pulled the Metal Detectors” Boebert
Majorie Taylor “Harass Teen Victims” Greene
Voters are noticing which party is cool with mass shootings in service to a bullshit Scalia decision. Especially the young ones.
Roger Rabbit spews:
@4 It’s right to be angry, outraged, and determined to bring about change. But the “young ones” need to realize Republicans aren’t going to change. And nothing else will change, unless outcomes at the ballot box change, and that requires young voters to turn out and vote. The young turnout was higher last year, but not yet enough.

You’re a butt-ugly liberal Democrat, and you’ve been nominated twice before for a seat on the FCC by First Vegetable Joe Biden. Your nominations were not successful, even though the Senate was under Democrat majority control.
The senile, incompetent, exceedingly corrupt fossil just nominated you for the third time. You’re a dishonest POS Democrat, so what do you do?
Why, you try to buy your way onto the FCC.

Fucking POS.

This one is BAD.
Alabama. Police murder an inmate.
Walker County Sheriff deputies engage in a wellness check at the request of family members of Anthony Mitchell, 33. The family relay his mental health history and history of episodes.
Sheriffs’ deputies arrive at the house and claim that Mitchell fired a shot at them and ran into the woods while painted with black spray paint (photos back this part of the claim up) and after a search of the woods take him into custody. No evidence of a weapon or physical evidence of a fired shot exists to date. so…”Take our word for it” – Deputies.
Mitchell is taken to Walker County jail where he is placed naked in a concrete cell with no bed or toilet. He is kept there for at least five days. We know this happened because a female guard at the county jail documented it with photographs. Official records and mandatory record keeping get sketchy at this point but what is clear is no Mental Health professionals are consulted during this time.
Deputies then create a false report saying that Mitchell was determined to need medical aid and was “Conscious and responsive” (sworn signed statement) when he was admitted to a local hospital. Now under video released due to Mitchell’s family civil suit, four Sheriff’s deputies can be seen carrying Mitchell to a transport by his arms and legs with his head fully relaxed and placing him on the ground before loading him. At no point does Mitchell’s head or limbs move. (pssst…they were lying about him being responsive.)
He passed away at the hospital. The attending physician noted that “An internal rectal temperature of 75 is very hard to explain unless the patient spent a significant amount of time in a refrigerated environment.” This 75 reading was taken while Mitchell was still alive, barely.
The lawsuit alleges, based on the evidence revealed by the prison guard who contacted the family that Mitchell was punished by leaving him in the jail’s walk in cooler or freezer for an extended period of time.
OF COURSE, the Walker County Sheriff fired the guard for contacting the family. The only unforgiveable sin is not murder but not backing your fellow officers.
So not only did many, many deputies lie about the condition and treatment of the prisoner and tried to cover it up, countless staff of the jail were aware of what was happening.
So the county is on the hook for a massive wrongful death settlement AND the corrections officer who was fired for bringing it to light is going to live very comfortably for a long time on a whistleblower protection/wrongful termination settlement.
This cannot be reformed.

@6 Wow! What a scandal! Far worse than tear-gassing lawful, peaceful demonstrators in order to wave a book he never reads for TV cameras in front of a boarded-up church; and certainly surpasses the diverting of military personnel for overpriced overnight stays at his money-losing Scottish golf course; and FAR WORSE than his attempt to reverse an election with a violent insurrection. Even so, I prefer Democratic corruption to Trumpian or Republican corruption.
Roger Rabbit spews:
@7 If he didn’t have mental problems when he entered the jail, he probably did after spending 5 days naked in the freezer.
Probably somebody should hang for this torture murder, but we all know that won’t happen. However, if massive settlements to the family and fired guard make the county uninsurable, the next time this happens will bankrupt the county and put the jail in private hands, then it can be razed and the site turned into a peace park.

So the question is, which Trump lawyer will go to jail first?

At no point does Mitchell’s head or limbs move. (pssst…they were lying about him being responsive.)
He was carried to the vehicle by two deputies. His head was up while they were carrying him because he wanted to see where he was being taken. He relaxed his head when they put him on the ground, and then elevated his head again after they opened the car door and lifted him again.
I’m sure that everything else you wrote is 100% accurate, but let’s not write things that are disputed by the very video you cite.
My guess is he died due to reperfusion injury. Bringing a patient back from 72 degrees (the temperature in the link) is really difficult unless it’s done with extreme caution. There probably aren’t that many frozen lakes in Alabama, so the ERs there might not be experienced in the necessary procedures.
@ 7, 9

Not relayed, at least in the spew @ 7, is that the dude was a meth addict. Took a couple more clicks, which I realize is beyond the capacity of most HA cretins such as y’all.
Vicious Troll spews:
Ah, life in Alabama.
Police claim that while the penis was in their custody, it was erect and responsive. Isn’t that right, ACAB @ 7?

@14
Give us a time stamp of when he moves. Is it at 19 seconds when one of the officers appears to be holding his neck? Maybe it’s at 26 seconds when the office releases him and his head falls limply to the floor? :29-:38 when he’s on the floor utterly motionless? Did he move an arm or leg or Head in those nine seconds? Not at all but you saw it. Or perhaps you’re referring to :41 when the officers pick him back up and the force of gravity causes his legs to bend a bit. Is it AFTER the door obscures the view and all THREE officers are required to shove him in the car at :48-:57? If you’ve got to lie about the video to rebut hoping no one will click through…. But you’re right. There were only three officers present.
It would actually be quite surprising for a person in an advanced stage of hypothermia to be responsive. But I digress.
Point two…he was a meth addict so he deserved to be executed without trial. Tortured first before being allowed the release of death.
Doing great there Dumbfuck.
“LOOK LOOK! His head twitched at the exact moment officers were releasing their grip and dropping him to the floor. That’s PROOF the officers aren’t lying murderous fucks!”
Roger Rabbit spews:
@14 “My guess is he died due to reperfusion injury.”
My guess is he died from being locked naked in a freezer, and reperfusion injury was only the terminal medical event; but what do I know about these things, I’m only a lawyer.
