This is getting lost in the sauce of other threads. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/george-floyd-protests-police-body-camera-san-jose-california-b434427.html Body camera footage from George Floyd protests in San Jose, California, show a police officer reveling in the chance to use force against protesters. During one of the body camera videos, a police officer can be heard shouting "Hell yeah! Let's get some!" and "Let's get these motherf******" before attempting to apprehend protesters. The footage also showed an incident in which a police officer who hit a fleeing individual with his motorcycle and another showed police beating a man with a foam baton after he was pulled over the police skirmish line. The San Jose Police Department released the footage on Friday after months of heavy criticism from community members about police conduct during the protests. Police Chief Eddy Garcia said he hoped releasing the footage would "provide the public more clarity into each of these incidents." "Each video is only one piece of information used to fully understand a complex event," Mr Garcia said. "Some opinions and conclusions may be affected after watching certain videos; others will not."

Concerned community members have called for Mr Yuen to resign over his commentary and general attitude toward dealing with protesters. The police department claims it has launched a probe into Mr Yuen's conduct which is still underway. At another point in the video, an officer calls a woman demonstrator a "b****." "Everyone's upset. Everyone's angry. Why are you on that side? Why are you not standing with us right now? Why do you have a baton in your hand?" she asked. "Shut up, b****," the officer responded. An unidentified protester then yells "f*** you n*****," to the officer. In another clip, police officers chase a man through the streets after he allegedly attempts to enter a closed bank. During the chase, an officer fires a non-lethal projectile at the fleeing individual and hits him in the lower part of his body. The man then darts into the street and runs parallel to the sidewalk until a police officer on a motorcycle plows into him, knocking him to the ground. A third clip shows a protester being wrestled to the ground by police after they declared the gathering an unlawful assembly. Police claim the protesters were throwing objects like rocks and bottles at them. They further claimed that the man who was wrestled to the ground attempted to grab one of their batons and tried to punch them.

That's certainly great info. Thanks.

You said that false positives were statistically insignificant which I supplied a ton of data to counter and you continue to just say it without any evidence at all. I never said 99%, I said at 99% it would still be awful and the china test had somewhere between 93% and 60% depending. You were the one that made claim to it and then edited your post. Perhaps it was missing context, which is fine. Simply put: The data suggests there is reason to believe tests are inaccurate to a very statistically significant level, meaning that just because you tested negative does not mean you don't have it and just because you tested positive and now tested negative does not mean that you had it. Additionally, previously having COVID does not mean you are immune. There is very likely a statistically significant portion of the population that think they are immune because they had a false positive COVID test and later had a false one. There is likewise very likely a statistically significant portion of the population that has had a false negative and has infected others. I'm not saying this to change behavior, it's just the facts based on the data that exists. Do with it what you will.

Not necessarily, no. I just see you saying dangerously incorrect things about a virus and felt the need to interject. What I believe is immaterial to your statements. Where are you getting 99% testing accuracy? The article I linked published by the New England journal of medicine showed a 7% - 40% false positive rate for the tests out of Wuhan. And it seems the accuracy of the US tests is unknown. John Oliver did an expose on the antigen tests and how there's little to no oversight on that process.

What are you basing this on? You keep repeating it but won't back it up with data. For reference, my company provides B2B software platforms as solutions for our clients. Anything over 99.9999 % uptime is in breach of our contracts which amounts to 56 minutes per year. By contrast, if the COVID test has a 99% accuracy rating, across the global population it amounts to 76,000,000 with false negatives or 2 1/2 times the total amount of people that have reportedly had the virus. From the data reported, 99% seems optimistic. "Two studies from Wuhan, China, arouse concern about false negative RT-PCR tests in patients with apparent Covid-19 illness. In a preprint, Yang et al. described 213 patients hospitalized with Covid-19, of whom 37 were critically ill.2 They collected 205 throat swabs, 490 nasal swabs, and 142 sputum samples (median, 3 per patient) and used an RT-PCR test approved by the Chinese regulator. In days 1 through 7 after onset of illness, 11% of sputum, 27% of nasal, and 40% of throat samples were deemed falsely negative" "Assessment of clinical sensitivity in asymptomatic people had not been reported for any commercial test as of June 1, 2020." https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp2015897#:~:text=In days 1 through 7,at least one respiratory specimen.

That does not appear to be true. Where are you getting that information? That is also not true on either point. A person with a false negative can spread it, and there have already been cases of people getting it more than once. Likely different strains and perhaps not common enough to worry about, but the concern is about people spreading disease. https://abc7chicago.com/health/nevada-man-becomes-first-in-the-us-to-catch-covid-19-twice/6393798/

Testing has false negatives. Science doesn't care about common sense.

Pay him how much? He can't stay on the field. He was hurt week 17 in 2017 and missed the playoff game.

Bass has plenty of excuses. Rookie kicker in his first game coming off a competition in a tough stadium to kick in. That said, I'd rather have a veteran.

And Singletary - he puts that ball in front of him and it's an easy TD.

He gets a B+ from me. When he looked great in the first half, he looked as good as anybody. He left too much on the board and you just can't have that kind of turnover. Every QB turns the ball over, but those kind of fumbles are becoming a huge problem for him. Two wide open TDs that you just can't leave out there either. Against a better team, that could have bitten us in the ass.

It's a big achievement. Hopefully we don't go another 49 games without one.

There's no problem with Allen running except he can't hold on to the ***** ball. He's a running qb. Fixing that needs to be a top priority for mcdermott and Allen

Good day to be a Bills fan

Brown has to catch that ball

Got damn. Great play from Josh.

He wasn't at all obscure if you even mildly follow politics. I've known about him and have heard him speak on various political talk shows for 20 years.

He isn't overrated nationally - just here and among Bills fans in general. That's the context of most of the thread. He's talked about in the top 20 nationally, but sometimes bills fans act like he's the next Kuechly, Willis, Urlacher, etc.

What sorts of outlets? Milano was graded significantly higher than Edmunds in coverage.

Ranked choice voting is high on my list of action items. I think it's going to be the only thing that opens the door for true progressive change in the house and later the Senate. Now that Bernie is likely out of the running for future presidential races, unless someone comes out of nowhere, I don't see a progressive in the system that I want in the white house. I'm not a huge fan of Jayapal from what I've seen from my Seattle friends, and while I appreciate that the squad doesn't toe the DNC line, they don't do much for me outside of AOC. From what I've seen, most of those extolling progressive platforms are doing so from a social perspective and less of an economic or infrastructure one. I'm quite a bit less interested in social issues, as I think litigation is often the wrong way to solve those problems, except in the case of oppression. Yang is the only person that comes to mind with anything in the way of progressive economics, but I kind of think his one-note UBI message comes off a little crazy. It may not be, but I'm not sold, and he doesn't seem to offer much else. I'm firmly in the camp that much of our societal issues, as well as our economic ones can be traced back to America coming in behind just about every developed nation in every important education metric. Until that's fixed, until Americans understand how their own government and economy is supposed to work on paper, how it actually works in reality, and what competing theories and proposals are actually trying to do - meaningful change will always come in a distant second to slogan-based populism and traditional values. And while it's incredibly important that we educate our children better, it's just as important that we expand those enhancements to the broken college system as well as retraining opportunities for workers left behind by the wheels of progress in the energy, manufacturing and technology sectors. We need to shift our focus from trying to delay the inevitable loss of low-value work and instead provide opportunities for people to tackle new challenges that a country with a lot of money, influence, infrastructure, and newly-minted education, is capable of.

Maybe he won't be a year from now. I think we're all hoping he lives up to the hype. However, so far his hype has drastically exceeded his play. What has he really done?

Bucs at Saints. I've long held the belief that Belichick was the real magic in NE, but there was no denying Brady's efficiency as the years dragged on. If he's good out of the gate tomorrow, slot them in the NFC Championship game.

Oh, I'm a big hater of the pharmaceutical industry and have no shortage of hatred for our private healthcare system based on first-hand experience. I still draw a pretty hard line between science based medicine and healing crystals, even if big money interests want to taint the science.

Overrated: Allen - He has the potential, but people are acting like he's already made it. We all want that, but as of last season he's still in the number 20 or so QB range. Edmunds - People treating him like an elite player, when he's still a massive question mark. Because he was drafted young, he'll have that potential going for him for a while. There's still a lot of LBs in the league I'd rather have at this point, especially if age and money weren't a factor. I'm extremely hopeful for him though given his athleticism. Milano - I love his play, but he's a solid B+ kind of guy. The $15M suggestions for a guy like him are completely insane. I want him to be a Bill, but I don't see him as a star. Knox - Talk about unearned praise. He's got some sort of Martin Nance magic going on with the fanbase. We've seen him make some really great plays, and he's also looked like a guy that's caught 68 balls since he was in high school 5 years ago. Maybe it all comes together this year and he becomes a 1000 yard guy, but there's little evidence to predict that. Underrated: Bills fans are pretty high on this team, for good reason, and thus I think more players are getting pushed up rather than down. I'm not sure there's a primary player that's getting dogged where they don't deserve it, but I think there are a couple of guys down the depth chart that could play a bigger role than expected. Mario Addison - I think this is a huge get. While Hughes gets a lot of pressure, Addison is a player that's been really good about finishing the last couple of years. I wouldn't be shocked to see him around 10 sacks if he gets enough playing time. Darryl Johnson - I haven't heard anything about him out of camp, but the energy he played with last year, plus him currently being slotted over Epenesa of the depth chart has me hopeful that he pushes Trent Murphy this year.

zero chance of that since he can just be reactivated and released in 3 weeks if that's what he wanted. He also has his full salary this year guaranteed for making the roster, so I don't think he needs a settlement.
