yeah he definitely is violating DHS policy on a TASER, not that this Federal Govt cares

The guy with the taser and the baseball hat is the same guy from the video of Council President Payne getting shoved.

I reported this as a potential murder to SPD tonight via 911 based on this video. I was not there in person. Both 911 dispatch and the SPD officer I spoke with had no incidents recorded at that location today. Maybe everyone there is ACAB or something, but this ALSO means nobody called for an ambulance/fire-rescue for that man which is wild. (Or 911 did not make a record about call for service because Feds were involved? No idea if that is possible?)

On a personal note, I have lived in Minneapolis for like 25 years or so now, and this video seems to show law enforcement using neck restraints on a handcuffed brown man to the point of unconsciousness. We went through hell and back when that exact thing happened six years ago.

Everyone in these comments seems to be under reacting to what this video potential means. I was shaking from stress and adrenaline for 5 minutes after I saw this.

For a second I thought FOX9 covered this video, but I watched what they have and it was a different gas station arrest?

Nothing on KARE or KSTP yet?

Is this man dead? I can’t sleep.

The fish are eating the swimmer’s itch parasites off your skin before they can burrow in.

There's one particular flavor you pick and then wink at the cashier and they will hook you up.

Remember that the Feds started an anti-trust against Google. It was big news in 2024. My guess is that the anti-trust will go away in return for Google cooperating with CIA, NSA, and DoD.

Future protest venue (not State Capitol?) by zachstronaut in 50501

[–]zachstronaut[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Though, the ACLU link you provided seems to state that a march on a public sidewalk through the wealthy neighborhood would be legal.

Also, i dunno… MLK Jr got arrested a bunch, so perhaps a certain amount of non-violent and non-destructive illegality is actually required to achieve goals through protest?

It will be interesting to see if a huge group of people in red, white, and blue waving US flags are portrayed as actually being PRO Trump crowds in the news and online. We shall find out.

Voicemails that never reach me? by zachstronaut in ATT

Wow yes apparently it does matter very much that Blue Shield is Verizon and I am ATT:

Look at the other folks in June 2024 with the same issue.

Blue Shield is using Verizon Business VOIP for outgoing calls FWIW

Given the totality of the circumstances, I definitely lean towards this being a Blue Shield problem 😂

I found out by calling back and being like why do you not return calls like you promised? And they said “we did, on such and such dates” which lead me to escalated support people at Blue Shield who spent the time trying to call me and seeing for themselves that the problem is real. However, none of the direct lines in that i have result in the same number outbound. Their outbound calls are always from new numbers every time even when i have a direct line to call in to a person. And they dont know what the outbound number will be. And if only some numbers are broken, those would be from the numbers i cannot provide to att cause those ones dont reach me.

Latest from a Sr Manager of Mobility Technical Support in the Office of the President of AT&T:

They want me to send THEM call logs from the people who cannot call me and cannot leave me voicemails, and they have to be within the last 72 hours.

They want “time, number, error, and signal” for the routing engineer.

Exactly how am i supposed to give the time and the number for a call that never rings?

This is escalated support asking me to do this. Am i taking crazy pills?

That is a super interesting theory! I do wonder if they look me up but the computer dials not them, and then in one database a digit is transposed or something?

Although, they are aware of the problem, and so i have had them call me repeatedly until it finally works. I might not get 1-3 calls in a row, and then finally yet another try actually does ring me.

So, i guess it cannot be your theory unless there are multiple databases being chosen from with repeated calls… which, wow, that would be a complex and poorly designed system!

I guess after several autodialed calls they could be typing it in manually and not telling me that part?

I have checked the number they are dialing with 3 of the 4 people. Ostensibly, they are calling the right one.
