So you agree the cop caused his death.

Odd that you don’t apply this level of scrutiny to the LEOs. They are first responders, if he was overdosing, they are supposed to resuscitate him, fentanyl is an easy fix if that’s what you’re going with caused him to die. I’ve never heard of someone ODing on fentanyl cry out they cant breath, because they’re always essentially comatose at that point.

Why couldn’t a model and rationally behaving LEO complying with his duty help this man?

I’m going to agree that the cop, the drug abuse, the pre-existing heart condition, the hypertension, and the resisting arrest all contributed to his death. Some to a greater degree than others but nobody knows if any one of them alone would have led to his death. The combination certainly did though. The color of his skin or that of the officer had zero to do with it.

Coupled with the fact that the autopsy doesn’t say there was a heart attack. Just a bunch of tards don’t understand what cardiopulmonary arrest is. CP arrest is no breathing no heartbeat.

Heart attack is a myocardial infarction, which is not listed on the autopsy.

So did the cop abuse or not abuse his power which led to the victims death?
Because on the video I see a Cop kneeling on a guy till he dies. The medical examiner ruled it a homicide. So he’s saying the cop killed him. Was he fricked up? Sure. But the cop killed him.

This actually ties into the timeline that medical assistance was called before he was ever even cuffed.

What this doesn't help explain is if he was having a heart attack before he was cuffed, why the frick did the cop still feel the need to kneel on his neck for 10 minutes?

Cardiopulmonary arrest isn’t = to a myocardial infarction (heart attack). In fact there would be evidence of an infraction on autopsy if there was a heart attack, so he did not have a heart attack at all. Cardiopulmonary arrest means he stopped breathing and having a heartbeat, as is the case in 100% of deaths


I was just about to post the same point. A heart attack is a myocardial infarction, which can lead to sudden cardiac arrest. But this autopsy states generic cardiopulmonary arrest, aka heart stopped and he stopped breathing.

Cops are first responders, calling someone else doesn’t cut it. He should’ve tried resuscitation. Plus Floyd didn’t have a heart attack, the autopsy did not indicate myocardial infarction. Cardiopulmonary arrest is every death, except maybe getting vaporized. Laymen just don’t understand CP arrest isn’t the same thing as a heart attack (myocardial infarction), which again Was not on the autopsy

I'm not saying I understand the medical side or that I agree with whatever OP is saying, just that in many reconstructed timeliness of the event, it is reported that an ambulance was called very early in the encounter. I thought that was odd.

To be clear, I believe the cop's actions absolutely brought about his death in the manner it occurred. The other variables don't really matter to me. 9 minutes with a full weight knee to your neck will bring most anyone close or all the way to death.

Do ODs happen more often or police brutality deaths?

Fasho. I was more addressing the medical facts that CP arrest isn’t a heart attack, that’s a myocardial infarction. An MI may cause CP arrest, but there was no MI on autopsy, just a bunch of folks claiming there was a MI because they think that’s what CP arrest is.

Wrong. Acute infarctions require the person to survive for several hours before they can be identified at autopsy.

Actually you are correct, but my main point was more that the autopsy did not say there was an MI. while you nit picked me getting a little zealous, you supported my overall point. There was no MI on autopsy.
