It doesn't matter if he had been bitten by a rattlesnake. Once restrained, his pleas for help should have been met with a call for medical assistance and basic first aid. Cops are trained to aid with airway, breathing, and circulation.

This doesn't change much.

The knee to the neck had nothing to do with his loss of breath huh?

Probably not as much as the heart attack and fentanyl.

Ever know someone that overdosed on fentanyl? I do and when they called 911, their report was "having trouble breathing"

Yea I’m trying to figure out what’s groundbreaking here. Of cop didn’t hold his knee on that dudes neck he’d still be alive


Not entirely true. He could have overdosed just as easily that night, or the next.

Cops abuse their power. No one denies that. Just don't think people are going to get the outcome they want.

And he needs to be convicted because if you think the riots are bad now, just wait for it if he gets off.


Now we are convicting people to avoid riots?

That doesn't change the fact that the cops were kneeling on the man for 8 minutes. I don't think this will greatly influence their defense. It still lists manner of death as homicide.

Yes what the office did.

But the independent autopsy left out a toxicology report.

So why did the medical examiner still rule it a homicide?

I don’t care what the autopsy says, that cop is guilty. I watched that video, no excuse for that kind of shite.

It’s crazy the cop was able to knock him out when he was on meth which keeps you awake and then able to kill him when he was on a pain medicine which is supposed to make you die less

Must’ve been really excessive force

The autopsy could show he died of a heart attack before any cop ever laid a hand on him, and the resulting rioting still would have "justified" by the CNN's, etc.
In other words, it doesn't matter how he died or of what, it just appears that he died because of police restraining.
It's not changing anyone's mind at this point.
Oh, and ftr, I am in agreement that the cop is a POS
