Here is another video of the man who was pushed over backwards by the police and cracked his head.

It turns out that he had picked up a dropped police helmet and went to hand it back to them....  that’s when they pushed him over

Don't show it to bitserve it'll totally undermine his "confrontation" narrative.

As much tragic this incident is, the reaction of the cops was totally predictable (the push away). What you see in the video is an anti-riot squad that someone has ordered to be deployed to clear the zone. When the man approaches them they have just started to advance in formation. Never, ever, be caught in their path as their orders are to remove/disperse everyone from there by non-letal force and to try their best effort not to break formation. Why the man was not aware of what was happening right in front of him is a wonder.

An anti-riot (they are easily recognisable by their vests and equipment so it's hard to miss them) unit is not your friendly cop you can talk to. An anti-riot squad is "something" you know it is surely going to beat you (with batons most of the time) if you manage to be in it's close proximity when they start advancing. That's the orders they have and that's what they did with the unfortunate ending.

If you want someone to blame, blame whomever ordered them to do "their thing" right there, because what they did is exactly what they are expected to do. That's probably why they have resigned from the squad.

Unfortunately there are thousands of clear cases of police brutality and even cold blood murdering that are a way better example of the situation than this one.

Buffalo protester shoved by Police could be an ANTIFA provocateur. 75 year old Martin Gugino was pushed away after appearing to scan police communications in order to black out the equipment. @OANN
  I watched, he fell harder than was pushed. Was aiming scanner. Could be a set up?
@realDonaldTrump https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1270333484528214018

Well, looks like we were down between he COULD BE a 75yr old ANTIFA provocateur scanning and blocking police comms with his phone, or COULD BE an alien. Both are as likely, but a coin flip fell on ANTIFA so here it is

That only proves that the issue is at the system level. I doubt that IDing cops and realizing that standing in front of riot police automatically gets you a beat down is such a common knowledge you claim it to be. But that's how the system is set up, cops on the front line are hiding behind the "my orders" defense. And when shit hits the fan the system just sacrifices few scapegoat to please the masses long enough so they forget about it and move on. Ultimately people don't care about logistics. If there's injustice, you cause death or great bodily harm to non violent offenders=the city burns. Kinda obviously logical don't you think? As far as outcomes, either protests will die down after few more scapegoats and empty promises, or system will be changed. Both supervisor giving the order to push forward in front of the old man as well as the individual cops should be held liable (exactly how they do it to people https://www.aclu.org/issues/capital-punishment/when-state-kills-those-who-didnt-kill). Of course that means pretty much disbanding and retraining every single cop with new guidelines.

The Buffalo Police Union boss says that the 75 year old was injured because he “tripped and fell”.  

In fact he did, right after he was simply pushed away. It was clearly an accident, not intentional (the fall nor the injury), even though he should have had more sense than to confront in any way an anti-riot unit that has orders to clear the place. With a curfew already in effect.

This only serves as a distraction to the clear and probably intentional MURDER of George Floyd... which probably is the reason why some politicians are giving it more importance than they really should.

Why are you lying? Look up what time the curfew starts and look at the video again, then apologize for spreading misinformation

Am I?

Here it says the incident happened right after the 8 p.m. curfew:

The incident occurred shortly after the city's curfew of 8 p.m. on Thursday, NBC affiliate WGRZ in Buffalo reported. Buffalo police initially said the man simply tripped and fell.

At what time did it exactly happened and at what time was the curfew starting?

Didn't read that source so I might stand corrected, but looks way too bright to be after 8pm. Regardless, police brutality is the root issue, more so for minorities.

Yeah one should always walk up to an army of cops and get your hands very close to one of their pistols. Good idea. My parents taught me to do exactly that.

Good job it was filmed for BBC and CNN's daily cop bashing headlines though. Top job of that cameraman.

Yeah man those 75yr olds are constantly snatching cops guns! That's why they need to be roughed up
2 cops were sanctioned, and all the cops resigned from that unit (but stayed on as regular cops) by claiming they were just following orders, let me know how that worked out at Nuremberg trials

Somewhere along the way everything changed. They switched from friendly blue to intimidating black. They started hiding their faces. They separated themselves from society. They developed an adversarial "us against them" stance and started treating the community (their bosses) as the enemy. They hid behind the anonymity of their uniforms and refused to give their names. They abdicated all personal responsibility.

A large part of this coincides with the militarization of the police. Flooding the forces with surplus military equipment, hiring direct from the military (and assuming military training with no decompression can substitute for civilian police training), shifting patrols so cops don't patrol their own neighborhoods, not hiring out of those neighborhoods, the various "war on XX" initiatives all promote that us vs. them mentality.

https://fee.org/articles/the-militarization-of-americas-police-a-brief-history

That's exactly what I was talking about... militarization.

If it does turn into a complete civil war, it will be the state that drew first blood.

It's not really principally a war between the public and the police. It's a war between the government and the people.

That's what makes the second amendment to the constitution of the USA so meaningless in the 21st century. What good are the arms American citizens are allowed to bear compared to military weapons? Bring a knife to a gunfight? Bring a gun to a missile fight?

Because when you're at the point where you're fighting your own government's army with a handgun your biggest concern is that government laws don't allow you to legally acquire a fully automatic 50cal?   Roll Eyes

Man, I had better never have 15 bitcoins on me in an airport. Government will just seize it like cash....

https://www.washingtonpost.com/travel/2020/05/28/man-missed-his-flight-logan-airport-then-authorities-discovered-138980-cash-his-bag

Oh wait, I forgot, it's *my* bitcoin, not the government's money. They want the key they can torture me for it.

Note: It is possible this was an international flight where you do have to declare >10k for customs purposes. But still this does not sound like a job for TSA....

in the past I have seen posts where people discussed the need to declare value if bitcoin you carry too.

Still, it's unclear whenever we cross-border, if we have bitcoin that needs to be declared. Because even if it's not a hardware wallet, I control my bitcoin through phone or basic internet. Similarly, I control fiat also through my phone in bank accounts or credit/debit cards of multiple countries.

So I don't think Bitcoin needs to be declared when you cross the boarder.

The trouble is: at the gate you aren’t the one doing the thinking. TSA does...  Roll Eyes

If you don't have to declare money in your centralized bank, you shouldn't have to in the decentralized one either. But i wouldn't put it past TSA to start doing lobotomies to make sure their citizens didn't board the plane with those 12 words memorized. (Heard roach was the first one to volunteer for that procedure, let's just say it didn't go too well for him)

grudging respect for that old bird and her hired goons, moreso if the Kiwis agree with her actions. btw did she ever get any of their guns off them? (answer cmiiw is 'a few')

... it's not all smiley, sweet and light in NZ and the 'world' only gets the view that the global progressive media choose to portray.

She has totally trashed the NZ economy to achieve it with a ridiculously harsh lockdown for over 6 weeks and doled out 20% of GDP on no-questions-asked payments to her voting bloc (twice as much corona-chan rescue spending per capita GDP as other countries), in an election year. NZ govt. debt levels have skyrocketed and now set back ~30 years of frugality in less than 3 months. It's has been an orgy of gubmint spending for people to basically sit on the couch. GDP is expectd to contract by ~20-30% for the affected quarter.

https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/300023771/new-zealands-big-bill-for-lockdown-we-didnt-need

... the hangover will be long and painful, NZ is now one of the most indebted to foreigners per capita countries in the world.

What's US's GDP and how much have they spent?

... graph from the conveniently linked article, (because when you are too lazy to even open your mouth fucking spoonfeeding can't work I guess).



... from memory US GDP was around $21 trillion in 2019


Yeah i usuallu don't click on random links. But if you insist:

Quote
In the US, welfare support is about 8 per cent of GDP, although its quantitative easing-to-GDP measure is slightly higher than New Zealand's.


...(twice as much corona-chan rescue spending per capita GDP as other countries)

Are you only taking in account the money spent on "health, welfare, wages and tax reductions"?

That light blue bar labeled "Loan Guarantees" seems to be higher in US too or we don't account for that either?

So according to your link in total, currently NZ is about 10% in front of US in % of GDP spending. But could the little fact that NZ has 0 active cases, when US has over 1million mean anything? Would you venture a guess how much next Brrrrr QE in US will be? Or what the numbers in US will be when (if) they'll get to 0 active cases?

Edit: I can't type

This is, in my opinion, one of the more likely reasons these coins would have moved.  The person making these waves and taking this opsec risk HAS to have a good reason to do it.  

And if that *is* the reason, then i for one applaud them.

Unlikely, if it was a jab at Faketoshi a much better solution would be to just sign "Faketoshi going bankrupt in 3..2.." message (which i still hope they'd do)

Is it Christmas already? It's as if the person that signed the message reads WO  Roll Eyes

Said simply, Wright represented these 145 addresses were part of his bitcoin holdings and were locked in an inaccessible encrypted file. This week, the person that actually controls the private keys to those addresses used those private keys to declare that “Craig Steven Wright is a liar and a fraud” and “doesn't have the keys” for those addresses — thus proving the addresses do not belong to Wright.

3. At counsel’s request, I analyzed the message, bitcoin addresses, and digital signatures; I then compared the 145 bitcoin addresses on Exhibit A to the CSW Filed List. My analysis revealed that:
a) All 145 bitcoin addresses in Exhibit A were claimed by the Defendant on the CSW Filed List;
b) All 145 signatures on Exhibit A were valid digital signatures that had signed the message in ¶2 above by using the private key corresponding to the respective bitcoin address (the only way to generate such a signature).

Bravo to that early miner that doxxed his BTC7250 (~$75MM) stash to put a final nail in Faketoshi's coffin.

BSv- screwed by Faketoshi's shenanigans finally catching up with them
Bcash- screwed by bitmain loosing their profits after the halving

One has some brain cells and the other lots of cash. Their last desperate option is to reverse split back to one coin.

What's a port scan?

HTTP port is 80

Email or SMTP is 25

https://www.webopedia.com/quick_ref/portnumbers.asp
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers

Theres a whole list but the main point would be as you are a viewer on the net not a web server or an email server so any port you use is specific time limited not open, why would traffic be coming to you without request so you dont want open ports like open doors.  You only open a port like you open the front door, hence the idea of shieldsup is check you are not leaving yourself open to be a server. 
   The biggest or most common danger where this occurs is people on the net via cable, it can be very poor security or at least used to be and strangers will scan your machine and retrieve files etc.   Shouldn't happen nowadays but thats the most frequent occurrence historically, nowadays they'll attack via phishing etc which is an attempt to convince you to grant them permission of some kind.   If you google iobit and use that software you shouldn't find its any trouble to it, not going to argue whose best but they arent the worst and it uninstalls when you ask which can be right after 1 free use.

Most home connections involve a router (with NAT/PAT) which by default blocks all incoming connections to all ports. So they're not concerned in what's reachable from the internet as much as what services you have running on your PC (the timing part is just a technique to identify open vs closed ports). Essentially, when you open goldman's site they can check if you're running a bitcoin node and if you do display a page of a middle finger rather than a log in page. Browsers should probably push an update ASAP to disallow websockets to local host by default.

Look, I can kind of understand why BCH has some support. I think it's stupid, but I can see it.

But why the fuck would anyone continue to think faktoshi and BSV has any validity what-so-ever. He clearly has no idea what he is talking about. He had to plagiarise his phD, despite going to pretty much the worst University in Australia. He has been caught lying 987,392 987,393 times. He is a state loving boot licker. WTF is going on in these people's heads.

BSV is closer to old school, pre-segwit Bitcoin than BCH, aside from blocksize. BSV has an unlimited blocksize, while BCH is limited to 8mb blocks. Out of the two I'd prefer BSV.

Higher resources = lower decentralization
Unlimited blocksize = unlimited resources

We hold these truths to be self-evident! For those that don't

This is possible.  But it seems unlikely to me.  Someone in that position would almost CERTAINLY be being advised by a cryptographer with a good idea of what these action would portend.  

I'm sitting here scratching my head trying to figure out what specific knowledge from the cryptographer's domain could bring to this decision.
\
OK.. it's a bad use of language.  The person would not be a cryptographer.  The person would be someone who has a good knowledge of bitcoin and the opsec around moving coins from that low a block.  And if it was Hal's coins it would imply a lot more than early coins.  The blockchain analysis people started hyperventalating when this move happened.  So, probably do crooks.  As eventually do tax collectors.

So replace "cryptographer" with "advisor", or "sage" or "wizard" if you like.

The person moving those coins does so at the cost of great privacy loss.

My point is almost no one sitting on the keys to a block that low are going to move coins without regards to the implications.

Literally a message before yours shows that another block mined even earlier that day in February 2009 was spent in 2017 and no one gave a shit. Don't see how moving coins from one address to another address comes with a great cost of privacy? If person decided to sell it on exchange it's just a matter of time. Hal's and other coins will soon be moved/sold people need to get over it.

Yeah I am broke so either way it does not effect me! I just want to find a way to prove Craig Wright is not Satoshi! I wish someone would would sign a message and be like "Craig Wright is not Satoshi, Theymos is"!
How many people were mining BTC 25 days into the release? Did Satoshi premine any? Or was it instantly made public like  boom  Genesis block 1 is generated! Then some random guy in Russia mined block 2? I did read satoshi maintained around 5.5 mh/s when he was mining. Can we see the hashrate from block 2-4000?

Also can we leave Satoshi alone? That is all he wants?

Don't fall into the trap, it's impossible to prove a negative. Genesis block 0 is hardcoded, no premine but not many people were mining back then.

Satoshis Bitcoin have no chance of being moved until Hal Finney cryogenic preserved body is revived in 100+ years from now. If Hal was Satoshi, they will do everything in their power to bring him back to life when Bitcoin is the global reserve currency.

That would be awesome. It's year 2100, countries around the world were competing for the last 50yrs to be the first one to revive Hal. One finally succeeds.
Hal- oh thanks for bringing me back guys but i was only trolling to have eternal life, i have no clue who Satoshi really is. Oh flying cars finally...
