It’s also basically admitting that at this point, this whole thing is a freaking scam for a cushy schedule.

Obviously. Everyone knows this. And I respect people that idiot say this over those that say safety.

Tbh I’d think the same thing if I was making anything above D1 pay, definitely a once in a career free pass. But begging people to not use their leave they saved up? GFYS. Dude prob burns leave the minute it hits his account and doesn’t have any left to burn, POS

I want to be CPC on the 5 and 5 not d2. But I’d be down to train on 5 and 5
That dude is a straight piece of shit. Why the FUCK would I give back my own leave? FAA won't be taking back a single minute of mine.

Only 90k? You must be talking about the trainees.

If the discussion this video spawns doesn't lock this thread I'd be impressed.
Full video of George Floyd arrest:
Thoughts:
Sheds a different look on the police outside of "Chauvin killed the guy for kicks" and "ACAB" even though it's still fucked that he did kill him.
Reasonable people after hearing of the monumental mistakes (to put it lightly) that cops commit sometimes would stay dead still and just try not to get shot or do anything that can be interpreted as a threat. Guy resisted police a LOT, was clearly not lucid/having a panic episode (toxicology report says he had drugs in his system but I've read medical opinions that say they were residue from prior drug use rather than recent drug use, can't come to a conclusion on this), and tried to escape from the police car.
Ultimately GF shouldn't have tried to escape and followed police's instructions, and Chauvin shouldn't have put his knee on the guy's neck (which killed him). Court will decide if he's guilty of murder or not. But if the police released this WAY earlier then I don't think we would have rioting/mass protests on the level we do today. Would be more of a "police brutality" issue rather than the formation of BLM, though I think this merely accelerated the eventual formation of BLM rather than sole reason for it.
Edit: I say "killed him" because an independent coroner's report said he was killed from "asphyxia due to neck and back compression that led to a lack of blood flow to the brain", courts will decide if it's murder or not.
Edit 2: BLM existed before George Floyd died, that's my ignorance, sorry.

Yep, forgot to mention that he was hired by the family, I don't know about not examining the actual body.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner said that he died of "cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression".
Either way I think that if there was an alternate reality where George Floyd wasn't found by police that day, he'd probably still be alive.

That’s the first thing I told my wife when I saw the initial video. “There is a huge chunk of time that we don’t see from where he was pulled over to the knee on his neck.” Homeboy was a big dude and hard to control. It’s pretty simple to just sit down and don’t resist. If you innocent, they’ll let you go.
I don't know, don't even know who the guy is (I see he's the dem AG of MN now) because I haven't been following this too closely- I was waiting for the full bodycam footage to release before I even gave any thoughts on it. Why do you think he refused to release it? Don't think mass riots and unrest across the country were his goals though.
Not touching anything else in your post, but BLM has been a thing for literally years. The #blacklivesmatter hashtag went around Twitter in 2013 after the Trayvon Martin killing and the movement was in the national spotlight in 2014 regarding the deaths of both Eric Garner and Michael Brown.
That's my ignorance, sorry- didn't know it was a movement until this all happened.
Edit: Knew that there were protests but didn't know they were under the BLM movement
