Don't make the same mistake as many others. George started to behave erratically when the police showed up, sitting in his SUV in the drivers seat. He is on drugs, the cops cuff him. From this point on he is restricted, he gets more agitated. They walk to the patrol car, the door opens and it's dark, barred windows and in handcuffs. There is a stark contrast to where it all starts. A panic attack caused by claustrophobia can lead to hyperventilation, which in turn can cause shortness of breath.

I had colleague once who refused to wear safety goggles. I remember him saying: "Can't wear them, i'm claustrophobic". Did he lie? I can't say. He also was a devoted motorcyclist. Drove his bike whenever he could. With helmet of course...

The video doesn't acquit Chauvin fully, however it doesn't show him as the raging white supremacist people make him out to be either.

Did you really just try to justify killing a man because he was tweaking out? Arrest him, sure. I don't think that was ever up for debate. The issue here was never that *GASP!* police tried to arrest a black man for...whatever reason! It was that they killed him and laughed about it. It was that, in similar situations when dealing with white people, miraculously nobody gets killed and the perp is treated with respect. 

If you aren't angry, you haven't been paying attention. 

That, and the fact that the policemen who killed him would not have been punished in any way for doing so if it weren't for the widespread protests and riots.

His post didn't justify Chauvin's choice of restraint techique which played a part in death of Floyd. I've yet to see anyone trying to justify it.

And rest of your post is bullshit too. There is footage of very similar situation about a death of white guy and police actually laugh about it.

Pay attention.

Do you know what the most dangerous weapon in the Soviet arsenal was?

He was speaking about political diversity, not cultural diversity. As such, is he wrong?

Watching the interview adds context. Doesn't make it better though. Why bring it up? Explain this to me please. Maybe there is more context to be added.

Nevertheless, i think "lying dog faced pony soldier" is still Bidens best. He reminds of Admiral/President Benson (Hot Shot 1/2).

I nailed it, looks like there won't be another relief bill. But the Republicans were actually willing to offer +$1 trillion in spending but democrats wanted minimun $2 trillions. Now the democrats gets nothing, they should had accepted what the republicans offered.

It's still not clear if Trump actually can do that with an executive action. It's probably he actually can't, hence why he didn't do anything.

Or maybe Republicans should have tried helping people

The establishment politics (both Dems and Reps) have the same overall goal, keep the status quo from changing

People have to vote in their best interest by being aware and standing for something
