Wait, was that in question?
the cop's autopsy blamed underlying health conditions, unsurprisingly. They'll protect their own at all costs and lie to us in broad daylight. Abolish the police.
It is just staggering to believe that they tried to hide the real cause of death amidst all this protesting. Like they genuinely thought they could get away with just sweeping it under the rug.
Depending on people's willingness to be blind, the rug is HUGE.

As a frequent reader of thedonald.win, for some people, yes... yes, it was. I honestly don't know how you could mentally wiggle yourself into thinking that 8:45 seconds of someone being on your neck could have an alternative cause of death. Hell, but let's say it was something else. Let's say it was actually a heart attack that ultimately did him in. Does that matter? Surely, we can point towards the stress of having…

> Abolish the police. Ok, I'll entertain the thought, what do you propose to replace it? Free for all deathmatch?

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
Also, I suspect the non-US HN users are slowly getting fed up with this one topic capturing a large part of the online conversation.

Even right wing sites like PJ Media railed that it took 3 days to arrest Chauvin.

In the GDR (East Germany) during Stalin's period running the Communist bloc, prior to about 1953 they used to execute dissidents using a guillotine in the Stasi basement. The death certificates stated the cause of death as "low blood pressure". They knew it was wrong, they didn't want to leave any documentary evidence: this is the same bullshit, just closer to home.

I'm sorry if it's a stupid question, but I'm not American and not a native English speaker. What do you mean when you say "Abolish the police"? You think there shouldn't be police at all? Or that it needs a reform? Do you disagree with the idea of having laws? I'm genuinely asking because I'm seeing this phrase more and more now and I'm not sure what people actually mean when they say that.
it's not a completely ridiculous idea -- there have been many societies throughout history that didn't have formal professional police forces, but still had functioning legal systems. it's also particularly appealing in the US because the police and prison systems here have such severe problems and seemingly cannot be reformed.
(unclear whether it could actually work at a large scale in the modern world, but I can see some of the appeal.)
police and prison abolition have also just become buzzwords, so sometimes people just use them to express frustration, or to describe what are really reforms.
