A California father's harrowing final moments have emerged in harrowing police footage showing him scream 'I can't breathe' while dying as he was held face-down on the ground so cops could extract a blood sample. Edward Bronstein, 38, died on March 31, 2020, less than two months before George Floyd was killed by police in Minnesota, after an altercation during his arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence. He was pulled over for a DUI, but taken to a police station after refusing to give a blood sample, which his family says was due to a fear of needles.(Snip)Five officers can be seen kneeling on him

Comments:

Perhaps so, but the auto insurance industry stood to make a lot of extra money on him, and probably the city too with fines and whatnot.

It's OK to kill him. He was white. His life didn't matter. That's the way it rolls now.

My dad was a local Barny Fife county special deputy, part time cop weekends holidays summers when he was off from teaching. He had been an MP in the Army and taught hand to hand combat so I will concede he was a bit more prepared than Barny. By the time I was in my early teens I was bigger and stronger than him. But he could drop and control me any time he wanted by using his magic cop/Army stuff. As much as I think you get what you ask for when you resist, I have a hard time grasping why police need to resort to going for the neck when they have the numbers in their favor. When it's one on one and the perp is massive that's another matter.

Agree with #14. Since when do police have the right and the knowledge on how to do blood work? How much training have they had? How much experience? Guaranteed, not nearly enough. I'm absolutely no fan of needles. It goes all the way back to my childhood. Was sick for two weeks before my mother took me to a doctor. It was a walk of ten city blocks. Doctor gives me a shot, and I passed out. Reality says getting jabbed isn't a big deal. The fear says otherwise. its a battle. People react badly to needles. I hate doing blood work. I will never donate blood. If I have dental work, I insist on getting knocked out. Cops are doing blood work now? This is nothing but a new form of intimidation. People will react badly to this.

Not once did he say please don’t I’m afraid of needles. He did keep saying he’ll do it willingly and kept resisting. If you are tagged for DUI you have to prove your sobriety. Obviously this fellow did not comply if it got all the way to having a court order issued. Seriously, did anyone watch the harassment of Allen Wests wife in Texas? 2 hours of on street field sobriety tests while grandchild strapped in car seat and they still hauled her off to jail where she invoked her rights and denied blood draw and showed receipts from the dinner she left where she consumed lemonade. Oh she is black, harassed by a black cop, husband running for political office. Status is not the issue, blind justice should be.

Trypanophobia is an irrational fear of injections by hypodermic needle. With the exception of intravenous drug users, most people do not like being stuck by anything but have learned to put up with it when giving blood or getting shots. The only people who get to stick me wear medical uniforms. These are doctors, nurses, and blood technicians only. No one else. If a drunk gets into a car and puts it into motion on a public street, he's earned his blood test at the lab at the police station, not at the scene of the infraction. This doesn't look right to me.

It's in the article, his cause of death was meth overdose. Not asphyxiation, not broken bones - he died poisoned with an illegal drug he willingly ingested. The effects of that massive dose caused his arrest, a court ordered blood test (see article), his irrational aggression, and finally police restraint. Like George Floyd, he died by his own hand. Cops were there, but they did NOT kill him.

In St. Patrick’s Day remarks on Thursday, Mr. Biden described Mr. Putin as “a pure thug who is waging an immoral war against the people of Ukraine.”(Snip)Mr. Peskov dismissed Mr. Biden’s statements as “personal insults.”

Washington—Drugmaker Moderna asked the Food and Drug Administration on Thursday to authorize a fourth shot of its COVID-19 vaccine as a booster dose for all adults. The request is broader than rival pharmaceutical company Pfizer’s request earlier this week for the regulator to approve a booster shot for all seniors. In a press release, the company said its request for approval for all adults was made “to provide flexibility” to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and medical providers to determine the “appropriate use” of a second booster dose of the mRNA vaccine, “including for those at higher risk of COVID-19 due to age or comorbidities.”

The federal government paid out at least $163 billion in bogus pandemic unemployment benefits, and less than 1% of that bad money has actually been recovered, an inspector general told Congress on Thursday. Labor Department Inspector General Larry D. Turner said the states that doled out the federal money weren’t prepared for the massive infusion of cash in their unemployment systems and were using outdated systems easily exploited by fraudsters. The result is that of $872.5 billion in federal unemployment money spent, at least $163 billion—or 18.71%—of that were improper payments. The inspector general said just $830 million has been recovered two years into the pandemic, which works out

Food prices are already skyrocketing. Some — a lot — of this comes from inflation caused by runaway government spending over the past two years. Some is from supply-chain issues. But a new problem is rearing its head, and government officials seem as likely to make it worse as to make it better. That problem is shortages of food and fertilizer brought about by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the sanctions enacted by the West in response. Ukraine is a major wheat producer, but war is likely to ensure a poor spring planting and harvest. Russia is also a major grower, but sanctions and war will prevent it from exporting to most
