If at trial A lawyer asks the medical examiner "is it possible that the opiates in his system caused his death?" and the answer is yes ( the key word here is possible) the cops may be acquited of murder. If that happens there will be more "Protests"===RIOTS

Since I grew up in this area and worked there for many years, I paid particular attention to any videos that were shown. The site of his arrest is known for drugs and hookers. From what I saw, Floyd died from drug overdose. I saw video showing him with a white pill on the back of the tongue prior to collapsing. I saw a small white bag on the sidewalk behind were he was sat. It was reported he died with almost four times the amount of fentanyl as needed to kill a man. He also had other drugs in his system. Other statements were made that to me indicated he was trying to pass more than the one twenty dollar bill. Is it possible Mr., Floyd had digested his own stash and OD-ed.
The BLACK LIVES MATTERS group and politicians immediately blamed the police for abuse of power and immediately started calling it a "killing". This whole thing happened at the height of the covid 19 outbreak. Would any sane person restrain a person displaying what was recorded on camera any other way. It's about time we allow the courts to examine the evidence and make a decision based on that evidence. Not one based on emotion or political agenda.

This is certainly a possibility. I trust that the trial will bring out the facts.

“From what I saw, Floyd died of drug overdose“
What drugs are you taking, that has distorted your thinking to such a degree?
That is incredible crap.

I don't think it will matter much. There has to be a sacrificial lamb to appease the multitudes.

I don't know how many autopsy reports are needed but there are 2 that say it was homicide. These are the latest.

Also two months old. Just pointing out that the reports are old.

I can see subtle irony is not lost on you.

The blood tests results on the drugs just came out I believe. Fentynal at very high levels may have had a role in his death. The cop kneeling on his neck for nine minutes also had a direct role.

how fentanyl kills

Floyd was primarily or at least partly responsible for his own death.

It is also enlightening to speak with an EMT or respiratory specialist, who are familiar with the 'can't breathe' effects of opiates, particularly fentanyl.

The only drugs I am on is metformin and one pill to prevent retaining water. My thinking is obviously better than yours. Try watching something other than CNN propaganda. The media has represented George as St. Floyd. Remember he spent a lot of time in prison for putting a loaded gun up against a pregnant woman's belly while robbing her. Sorry but its time for BLM start identifying hero's to follow instead of the thugs they mostly have been courting. I'm tired and so are most of the people I know, which includes minorities I know, of peaceful protests which turn into riots. I'm tired of the rioters rioting in areas where they can smash, burn, and steal from hard working people. I'm tired of watching rioters leaving protests with TV sets, electronics, booze, and other items. What ever happened to the phrase looters will be shot and survivors shot again. It's not "crap" Kmgw9v: it's reality.

Just quietly, again, what kind of drugs are you on?

Floyd's record has been covered extensively...he was no saint and no one claims that but you.

Why are you so out of touch with reality?
