? Diet can play a significant role in all 3. It's a reasonable assumption genetics was the main factor, are you saying just medicate and don't worry about the diet?

Such a pity you can't view the video impartially and watch that cell phone waving in his outstretched hand, indicative of motioning toward the steps.

The blockage may be partial (resulting in ischemic heart muscle) from plaques or full, usually the result of a ruptured plaque that causes a large blood clot to form which can block the artery. It's more than financial reasons if you're talking about routine angiograms. I don't fancy routinely having my femoral artery catheterized, ioversol injected, and having fluoroscope xray exposure "just in case". Even though fairly routine, it does carry its own risks, also my platelet count is on the low end of normal (my own genetic factor). Cholesterol and blood pressure problems over time are very good warning markers. Routine blood testing for genetic abnormalities will eventually help greatly also. There's an entire science to interpreting EKG's and nuclear stress tests certainly also are great indicators of a problem. O'Leary had more than one blockage, sounds like genetic heart disease. I know I wouldn't come back to NFL unless dietary changes clearly reverse the risk. The yoga teacher had myopericarditis which is an inflammation of both the heart muscle and the pericardial sac surrounding it. I don't deal with people, but in pigs it's nasty, so much fibrotic tissue forms as a result of the inflammation it covers the surface of the heart and adheres the pericardium. Definitely pigs with this condition are much more susceptible to disruption of normal cardiac rhythm. That's what happened to the yoga teacher. Her normally healthy heart couldn't contract well(acute heart failure) and she also suffered 4 cardiac arrests which is complete loss of heart function due to normal electrical signal disruption. But the underlying heart tissue wasn't chronically unhealthy and she hopefully makes a full recovery if no ischemia effects. A heart attack (blockage) often results in cardiac arrest (loss of function) but that is not the only cause of cardiac arrest. She didn't have blockages in this case. Dorenbos had an aortic aneurysm, which is a weakness in the aortic wall (just above the heart) which normally swells and can burst, killing quickly.

Please, feel free to do so. It does matter to me and I'll discuss honestly. I have never said the officers aren't allowed to respond that way to a perceived threat. I've said in this situation it was unwarranted and unprofessional. While you say the situation doesn't matter, I say it does and police officers responded poorly. At least 2 of them failed to accurately assess the situation. I also definitely dispute Gugino was reaching towards the officer as much as he was motioning across his body, but you are also entitled to your own opinion.

I understand what you're saying, and given this didn't happen in a vacuum, it's NOT a crowd. It's a couple guys, they arrested the one and shoved the other. Please explain to me why they did not arrest both men? What part of protocol justified pushing this man given the lack of a crowd? If anything, he should have been the one most likely to be arrested. I also take exception to your assertion that the man clearly reached his right hand toward an officer's belt. He did not. He had his cell phone in his hand and clearly motioning with his hand around the officer. I don't have a problem with how the man received medical attention. There clearly was a plan in place and the lead officers were instructed not to break ranks while others attended. In this situation, I believe the officers did have the luxury to assess and simply arrest him after warning. Protocols need to change. I get that in other situations they may not and shoving people aside can be warranted. "It's ok because in other situations it would be ok" just doesn't cut it. People are sick of it. Even more the reason they simply should have arrested him if they truly felt he was trying to take their weapons. Seems like a great reason above and beyond curfew. You are making little sense. And again, there were 2 protesters in the vicinity, not a crowd. They arrested the other guy. Why couldn't they just have arrested Gugino? You refuse to give me a reason. Gugino was playing a stupid game, on that we agree.

Officer Horne stopped Kwiatkowski from continuing a chokehold she felt was endangering the suspect. Kwiatkowski, the officer that Horne stopped in 2006, was arrested and sentenced to four months in prison for use of excessive force against four Black teenagers 10 years after Horne was fired. The teenagers were accused of shooting BB guns while driving around their neighborhood, but they were compliant with the arresting officers when Kwaitkowski appeared at the scene. He admitted to “forcibly pushing each of the suspects heads and upper torsos into the vehicle around which they were being detained,” according to the Department of Justice. This is the garbage that needs to be eliminated. She stopped him once but he didn't change. Was there any procedures within the system to compel him to change his behavior?

Then show me evidence that it was ok to shove aside a 75 year old man. He was in violation of curfew. They appeared to arrest the other protester remaining there. Why did they not simply arrest him? Even if you don't know his exact age, IT'S AN OLD MAN who has approached slowly and is not trying to be violent. It is the officers who decide to use violence. If they arrest him and he falls? Were they using inappropriate force if he was being cooperative? If not then it's on the old man. Are you simply being disingenuous or do you truly believe human beings can't use some intelligence to assess the situation and respond appropriately? I have sad news for you, the greater point of all the protesting is that some police officers are behaving unprofessionally, even highly so in the case of racism, and many of us are demanding change. While this Buffalo incident is nowhere even approaching the magnitude of George Floyd, the underlying mentality that it's ok to use physical force even when it's not justified by the situation needs to change. Now it's your turn. I have provided the facts of the situation via video, the use of force in this situation was unprofessional, and the man was breaking the law by being on the square past curfew and thus subject to being arrested as the other protester appeared to be on the video. If you believe Gugino did not warrant being arrested, why did his fellow protester (who did not approach the police line) less 50 feet away? Please provide your rationale with evidence that this was a highly charged and dangerous situation or whatever else you feel to justify the police lashing out at this old man and how this was professional.

Look at the double video. There is Gugino, a guy with a BLM sign, and a news reporter in front of the police line on the steps in front of the officers. I see no one throwing anything at the officers. I hear the officers marching orders echoing off the buildings with no loud noise of protesters. Would you dispute those facts? I see them push over Gugino while then arresting the BLM guy who I think is cursing at them. I hear one or two extra voices from protesters remarking how they pushed over that old guy. I see a stressful situation but not a highly stressed situation as there appear to be few protesters in the immediate vicinity of the police force. And the audio seems to back this up nicely. Now you answer me this: Why did they not simply arrest Gugino? He did not approach them quickly, I saw he took at least 4 slow steps in approaching them, his body posture is upright and his walking style is not showing tension, even somewhat casual. Even though the police line on the steps moves forward, the line on the street stays put, officers alert but not appearing in a stressed, defensive posture. Why did they not behave as professionals and simply arrest him?

Gave myself some time away from this situation and took a fresh look at the incident from the synced double video. It is clear the only immediate protesters were Gugino, and some guy just beyond him with a "black lives matter sign." After shoving Gugino, they pulled the BLM guy behind the line and appeared to arrest him, why did they not just do that to Gugino? Why would they just not pull him behind the line and arrest him? It's unprofessional, how they conducted themselves with Gugino, especially as both camera angles showed no other protesters in immediate proximity. If it's true police Emergency Response Teams are not trained in de-escalating a situation, well that's one huge training change that should happen.

Ahhh. So you're delusional about the facts of the situation. Not cool. But, oh well. Keep your head buried in the sand as people fed up with the minority of policemen who are bullies with badges get dealt with.

Except they weren't getting pelted by anything in this situation, they weren't under that kind of stress at all. Stop imagining the worst case scenario and use some common sense that fits the situation. In a different situation, simply pushing the guy out of the way would be more acceptable. I think most of America would rather have those policemen who care about more than just blindly and over-aggressively following orders. This isn't some drunk guy approaching, it's an old man who is not being threatening to police, just a bit of a self absorbed jackhole. This is the kind of police crap that needs to get dialed down. Either arrest him or work with him a bit to get him to move on. Unfortunate you cannot see that, most others can.

Nope, sorry. I know it's not easy for the police but they need to stay professional. Pushing that guy was simply juvenile frustration. Their job was to clear the square and how dare some old guy slow them down for even 30 seconds. Do your job professionally and stop trying to physically intimidate and bully people.

Talk to him and see what the deal is, tell him he needs to leave or he will be arrested and then arrest him if needed. They're supposed to be professionals, not a bunch of thugs pissed off because this guy is slowing them down. All they cared about was keeping their line moving. And that wasn't a tense situation. While there was tension because they were obsessed with marching in a line around the square, it was some old guy with a rant where there's one other protester anywhere around them. Cripes, grow an ounce of common sense.

Start with yourself. In what world do you believe he's reaching at their belt while he's got his cell phone in his hand? Clearly the officers didn't think so or he would have been arrested, or beat up. They just wanted him moving back and out of their way. This is professional law enforcement and the behavior of those 2 officers, given the situation, is completely unprofessional. Just because a citizen is being a jackhole doesn't give them carte blanche. It's what needs to change.

Some people are just dysfunctional beyond statistics, and also enjoy condemning people to them. Early in LeBron's career people said he couldn't shoot the 3. He went to work in the off-seasons and maybe it's not central to his game, but he most definitely can shoot the 3. Josh has the same competitiveness, which some enjoy discounting/ignoring. He'll strengthen his weaknesses at least enough to be a successful NFL QB and probably more.

Thanks a ton, great to hear. I just hope other supervisors do their job as well as you. Stay safe and God bless.

I had a question for you, being in law enforcement and seeming like a reasonable poster. I am curious, is there any internal mechanisms to deal with officers who get a little too extreme in carrying out their duty? ie fellow officers reporting heavy handedness and working within the system to help the reported officer adjust their responses before it becomes a problem? Or does it need external evidence, video or citizen complaints/charges, to precipitate internal action? TIA

One of the interesting but less talked about items from an officer involved in the Floyd death. Bottom of this article: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/false-claim-targets-wife-of-officer-charged-in-floyds-death/ar-BB14P0pz?li=BBnb7Kz "Charges have not been filed against Thao and the other officers at the scene. Thao was sued in federal court in 2017 for alleged excessive force, according to online records obtained by The Associated Press. According to the lawsuit, Lamar Ferguson claimed that in 2014 Thao and his partner stopped him and beat him up while he was on his way to his girlfriend’s house. The lawsuit was settled for $25,000." Have to wonder if Thao faced any internal discipline for 2017, if not maybe a good place to start for actionable change. A history of excessive force.

How about carbon neutrality utilizing nuclear power?

Does Eric Wood have a beard or did one of his kids put dish soap bubbles on his chin?

There was nothing I turned around. My life wasn't much different before or after I made the decision, because it never had any negative consequences. I've always been an infrequent social drinker, I just got a little older and a little wiser, and chances are good Ed will also. Here's a link from NHTSA showing the repeat rate of DWI offenders averages around 33 percent: https://one.nhtsa.gov/people/outreach/traftech/1995/tt085.htm Here's also a self reporting study by the CDC showing the rate of impaired driving is highest in 21 to 24 year olds and decreases after that. Table 1 showing this is near the bottom of the document (past the main text and source citations): https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm6039a4.htm While ~33% is too a high rate of repeat offenders, people convicted are NOT equally likely to have future convictions, as you are trying to say. I'd also bet there are many like me who took too many risks thinking they're ok to drive but grow up on their own without needing an actual accident or arrest.

Certainly law enforcement is entitled to Oliver's PHI in this case but it still is protected otherwise. HIPAA still applies. But certainly if your buddy managed to spot the info in the hospital that's on them.

You know that's a HIPAA violation right? Your friend is ok with you discussing where the info came from on a public BB?

Wow. Guess what sunshine? Plenty of people DO grow out of it. I'm one of them. In my middle twenties my friends and I wouldn't drive if we were "too drunk" but all liked to think we could handle our alcohol and drink "just enough" to still be ok to drive home. Until that one time I thought I was ok and the alcohol caught up when I got behind the wheel. God blessed me that night and I realized how lucky I was and that was that. Out of my seven other drinking buddies they all realized it too, only one got caught and had to do rehab (the rehab people were astonished they made him go), but it worked for him also. All by the age of 30. No excuse for what we did. The rest of us were lucky we were never caught. But perceived invulnerability in our stupid brains certainly played a role. Wisdom in our group was very much lacking back then. Repeat offenders who have a chronic problem are the most likely to get caught because they do it most often. And yes, drinking and driving is done at all ages but for you to declare that no one grows out of it is its own ignorance. Continue to wallow in your interpretation of those statistics. You should do a poll on here and ask if Mr. WEO is ignorant or open minded when discussing topics? I think most of us know how that would turn out.

Thanks for the videos OP. Man, he was running over all kinds of guys from USC, UW, etc. More than I had seen in my limited highlight watchings. Two things strike me, this guy is very measured, intelligent and he doesn't display a lot of emotion. Kind of funny he put the youtube stuff out, it's ok to watch as a fan but he's not the most engaging personality. Give him credit for already looking to brand and sell himself though. Moss mode vs beast mode may look similar, but behind it there's a huge difference in intelligence and approach. I think he'll be the fit here Lynch never was. Really excited to get him playing, him and Devon should be one of the best tandems this year.
