Knee by policeman?

or Drug over dose?


confidence level in your analysis if and when you have seen all video footage made available?

for me, I am 98% certain he died from drug overdose. The police head cam videos with audio were eye opening.

the amount of destruction one video created we all thought "the cop killed him"....is a lesson in perspective...be very careful what your eyes are telling you to think..

Who? According to the looters and arsonists, I'm not aware of his name.

OD. It was kicking in before they put him face down. He would have signed off in the back seat sitting up.

Combination of knee to the neck and drug induced heart attack. Had he not been high and resisted, use of force would not have escalated and he'd be very much alive and probably out free on bail right now.

They might end up getting the one cop on involuntary manslaughter, maybe, but the rest will walk if not all of them.

Minny will burn again, as will other cities.

We knew the OD angle several weeks ago- why is everyone finally coming around to it?

Having a 200 lb man leaning on his neck certainly had nothing to do with it.

Both


Trouble breathing from the knee pushed him over the edge which he was already close to

Died due to his behavior. Drugs, anxiety, and stress.

I’m sure the drugs definitely had something to do with it but the guy sat on his neck for 8 min and killed him. He’d be alive if not for that and no way around it.

Fatal combination of drugs leading to his heart giving out. He’s no saint. Just someone that died in custody. Had he not mentioned having a hard time breathing before the police ever had him on the ground I might sing a different tune and say the police May have played an active role in his death. But he did complain and the police did notify EMS and then made the follow up that he was in urgent need of help. I’m not sure what else they could’ve done in the moment. There is also the autopsy findings which started to clear the police. If I remember that correctly.

This. Perhaps aggravated and expedited by the knee hold. But Floyd’s high level of blood toxicity appears to be the main contributing factor.

Did you read the original Toxicology report?

it supports what we saw in the police cam videos

Drugs complicated by the panic of being arrested and heading back to prison. He got weaker by the minute til he couldn't stand and asked to lay down.
