Your comment is horseshit. Commenting about choking you to death is obviously alluding to the Garner case. Garner was resisting arrest. The police are authorized to apply force to enforce the laws. Resisting arrest allows the police to use force as necessary to apprehend the suspect. Did the police officer draw his gun and shoot Garner? No, he applied a choke hold in order to subdue and cuff him. Unfortunately, Garner died as a result of this altercation. However, the intent of the officer was not to kill him. It's unfortunate that Garner died, but had he not resisted, he'd be alive today.

And yet the autopsy revealed that the bullet that hit his arm entered from the bicep, and the rest of the bullet wounds indicate Brown was facing Wilson. So either he got hit once with his hands up and quickly spun around before the rest of the shots hit him, or his hands weren't actually up when that bullet hit his bicep.

FYI, because this bill failed, the NSA's authorization to bulk monitor phone calls warrantlessly is now set to expire next year, whereas this bill would have extended it with some minor limitations. Some Republicans who were in favor of the original bill voted against the final version because it didn't do enough, and they would prefer the expiration to take effect instead.

more lightning means more chance of forest fires. More forest fires means more CO2 produced. More CO2 produced means more greenhouse effect. More greenhouse effect means hotter temperatures. Hotter temperatures mean more moisture in the atmosphere. More moisture in the atmosphere means more lightning. Repeat.
