FFS. I was simply restating what I was hearing Anderson Cooper and Nick I don't recall his surname say, on CNN. They stated this, and left it as such. My surprise prompted the post.

How many police officers does it take to realize someone is not a threat?

If this guy was fighting and flailing and being a threat I could understand this.

He was being held down by others,no reason to keep a knee on the neck,that's just stupid.

This dude screwed up,and he will be lucky to survive prison.

Stupid choices,bad prizes.

Ask the coroner. They are the ones that claimed him having his knee in his neck contributed to the death.


Sort of begs the question, in this situation where so much rides on the cop being the cause of death, the fact that the medical examiner can’t be more precise on how the cop killed him would suggest there’s not much medical evidence to support that narrative.

I know one thing. Without that cop sitting on his neck he would still be alive. That’s probably how they got their evidence.

the probable cause report is an interesting read

it has its own thread elsewhere and I don't have it open anymore

but I'll outline some interesting parts

A) everything was going normally until the original responding officers told him he was under arrest for the counterfeit money... he plopped down on at least 2 different occasions to make the officers carry his full body weight towards their patrol car and complained about claustrophobia... it was at that point the other officers (inc. Chauvin) arrived on scene

B) once they got to the police car... the deceased physically resisted... they got him into the car but couldn't secure him in so they pulled him back out again

C) WHILE STILL STANDING... the deceased complained about shortness of breath for the 1st time

D) the other officers did ask Chauvin about differing potential complications... but it was negated

E) 1 of the officers did check the pulse and could find none... yet they kept him restrained until the ambulance arrived... about 2 minutes later

F) M.E. noted no signs of traumatic asphyxiation including noting no bruising on his windpipe

Simply restating something you saw and a headline that reads “Floyd didn’t die of strangulation” are not the same.

You've got reading comprehension problems.

Would he have died that day if someone wouldn’t have held a knee on his neck for 10 minutes cutting off his breathing?

I'm not asserting anything. I simply posted what they said, as it surprised me.

E is obviously my biggest problem. And the fact that someone complaining they can’t breathe while they aren’t resisting anymore is still getting a knee to the neck. I understand that cops deal with thugs all day who complain hag they’re being hurt if you simply touch them, but the fact that they did nothing after finding no pulse is saddening. Not shocking anymore, but saddening.

Looked pretty good when he got out of his car and was walking minutes before had had a cop kneeling on his neck and two others also kneeling on other parts of his body while he was calling for help saying everything hurt and they (the cops) were going to kill him (along with the bystanders also saying they were going to kill him).

What surprised you about that?

Did you know Floyd personally and this doesn't fit? Seems relatively common in today's world.

F. is going to be problematic for the prosecution. I know the online lynch mob on here isn't going to like that. But, if that's accurate, the defense attorney is going to drive a Reasonable Doubt sized truck through the DA's case.

Perhaps not, but you can't rule out the fact that any struggle due to his resisting arrest would have led to the same result - a cardiac event.

The autopsy results rule out strangulation, so we know it was the struggle that caused his death.

That it wasn't accompanied by an opinion posited as fact.
