Really, Seattle police are still operating under a consent decree.Just because the cities are liberal doesn't mean their police departments are as well.

I was referring to their training path, at least outside the US, foundation year for instance, core training, then specialty training where they branch offI don't have much to add to the absurdity of the OP, however, psychiatry is far from effectively internal medicine.
... the officers didn't even speak to the people arrested to investigate like alleged. The fact that the charges were already dismissed leads me to believe the restaurant staff for now though.
The only thing that would make sense about this is that one of the officers were friends with or related to one of the women.
Psychiatrists are physicians who specialize in psychiatric medicine.
Yes but when you've got someone in an airplane that needs an emergency apendectomy, asking around for "a doctor" doesn't really translate to psychiatrist. Nor does asking around for a "doctor" translate into someone with a PhD in neoclassical literature or immunology. (yes, I know: "physician." I still had to go there)![]()
Am I racist if I point out that lawsuit allegations are just that, allegations? I usually default back to the premise that most folks will bend the truth to justify their actions, or win in court. I hope this case goes to trial and the judge and jury are up to the task of ferreting out the truth to whatever degree possible. If the cops did something wrong they shouldn't be able to spend taxpayer money to make it go away. Nor should racism claims lead to a quick cash settlement because it's cheaper than going to court. Or am I expecting too much when I hope the truth comes out?
I explained myself in that Starbucks thread more times than I care to remember, and I owe no one an apology for what I said. If someone automatically believes one side of an argument over the other based on race then it is racism and wrong.It depends on what you mean by "racist" really. You spent ages on the Starbucks thread telling us that you'd want to be absolutely certain before labelling someone as racist, and how it's so bad to just assume, only to then call the OP racist and then run off without an explanation or apology to @esquared when I called you out on it.
IMO you're just concern trolling. At least, that's the only explanation that I can come up with that makes any kind of sense. If so, it would be nice to know the honest reason why you're doing it, but I know that won't be forthcoming.

In October, physician Tamika Cross took a Delta Air Lines flight home from the wedding of a childhood friend. A man fell ill and a call went out for medical help. But when Cross tried to come to his aid, a flight attendant dismissed the young, black doctor. "We are looking for actual physicians or nurses,"

How does that make them essentially internal medicine docs?Psychiatrists go to medical school and graduate MD's. The end.

It makes them essentially qualified to deal with someone having a medical emergency. Definitely more than drunk/passed out lady's racist friends.
I can't imagine how this cop expected someone to react to an unconscious person getting dragged across the floor of their business.
Yeah, you caused quite an uproar. I was going to mention the owner isn’t a frog but now I'm glad I didn’t.I don't disagree that he was capable of evaluating the patron which is why I said the situation in the OP was absurd. I simply contend that a psychiatrist is not essentially an Internist. That's it.
ShrugYeah, you caused quite an uproar. I was going to mention the owner isn’t a frog but now I'm glad I didn’t.
My aim is to suggest areas where I feel self reflection could be helpful, not to demand it. And just because I may think I see something doesn't make it surely real.Shrug
The complete the same 4 year medical school as everyone else. They do a year of an internal medicine residency, then branch off and do 3-4 years of psychiatry.I was referring to their training path, at least outside the US, foundation year for instance, core training, then specialty training where they branch off

I've still seen nothing to convince me that the manager was doing anything other than enforcing a flawed company policy when she asked those men to buy something or leave. Nor that the cops were in any way racially motivated when they arrested those men for failing to leave after they were given a legal order to do so.
Starbucks pulled off a masterful bit of PR to retain their market share of our coffee addiction, but that doesn't mean the incident was racially motivated in any way.
And I am a journalist by profession, trained to be skeptical of any and all claims in pursuit of the truth. When a story is blindly believed because it fits the desired narrative I find it disheartening. My experience is just about everyone will bend their story a bit to their own advantage.
Or maybe I'm just racist, you tell me, or believe what you want if you have some narrative to push.
Fox News I take it? Because you sure as shit push your own fucking narrative a fucking shitload in threads. And I know you've definitely been willing to not even consider other factors in a story before making up your mind (the one about the kid yelling at the teacher comes to mind). Which, hey, absolutely people do that quite naturally, but you acting like you're above that and more objective than anyone is complete bullshit.
Is this another case like eits claiming to be the official chiropractor for the Washington Redskins? Because your claim of being a professional journalist reeks of bullshit.
Paladin3 is one of the most middle of the road posters on here. I’m just not getting some of these attacks. The guy maintains a healthy degree of scepticism which is something that would benefit society as a whole if there were more and he’s trounced on. Some of you are terrified of anything breaching your echo chamber. Wrong Think might poison the partisan purity.
