The subject line says it all: President Joe Biden is on fire. He has a good approval rate (better than the Orange Menace EVER had), the economy is rebounding, the stock market is UP (bigly!), and he's getting his agenda ducks in a row.

Bravo!

In other news, cops are confirming most Americans' suspicions: They're either stupid, evil, or both.

Man dies after Alameda (California) police pin him to the ground for 5 minutes

On Tuesday, the city of Alameda, Calif., released police body camera footage of an interaction with a 26-year-old man who died after police pinned him to the ground for at least five minutes.

Mario Gonzalez of Oakland died April 19 after what police previously called a “scuffle” with officers. The Alameda Police Department said Gonzalez suffered some sort of “medical emergency” after an interaction with police.

Following criticism from Gonzalez's family, the city released the nearly hourlong video that included body camera footage from multiple officers on scene and the original 911 call. Officials edited the video to redact personal information from the caller and Gonzalez's face after he becomes unresponsive.

During the struggle with Gonzalez, officers can be seen placing arms and knees on his back to keep him restrained. In the video, Gonzalez goes still after police pin him to the ground for several minutes.
