Dude was in an Arab bodega with a counterfeit $20. The video showed 2 other crackheads stumbling out of his vehicle. His tox screen was positive for fentanyl and trace amount of meth. Has been in prison twice on cocaine charges, which means decades of cocaine use which leads to heart issues. He couldn't sit still the entire time from when he left his own vehicle until he stopped living. He pissed himself the minute he fell out of the police vehicle.

Given his personal health history, could fentanyl kill him?

We hear about fentanyl being 10x stronger than meth. Which jacks up your heart rate. Wouldn't fentanyl do the same?

Anyone know symptoms of fentanyl overdose?

Any particular reason you say zero?

They did find fentanyl in his system and people OD all the time from it.

Do you have experience with fentanyl?

I'd ask if there was any chance he was poisoned with fentanyl. That this thing was part of a false flag operation. And that Chauvin was aware of it. Was just waiting for Floyd to die - cuffed, face down on the street.

"Dangerously slowed or stopped breathing." is a symptom of a fentanyl overdose. LINK

You can die from getting a highly concentrated dose on your skin.

That would be quite the uncanny coincidence that he died from an overdose at the same time that dbag was cutting off the air with his knee

could he have died for the sole reason that he's black?

Nope.

Once Floyd was handcuffed and subdued there was no reason to use a knee to the neck to further “control” him. If fentynal had any impact on his death, the argument now becomes, what effect did the knee to the carotid artery have on someone who might have been high on fentynal.

The same.
The fact is Floyd was ambulatory, communicative, and buying cigarettes 9 mins before his death. Going from awake and ambulatory to dead in 9 minutes would require a substantial IV injection, either in the store or during the arrest.

Sounds like this had been debunked now. The 20 was legit.

The drugs in his system likely played a part, but the catalyst was the distress of a knee on the neck for over 8 min.

You claim to be a physician? Ok, a man with years of drug abuse with meth and fentanyl in his system fighting with police and you're 100% sure this had zero cause or complication with his death.....

Probably not. Would he be alive if he wasn’t on fentanyl in is the better question and the answer to that is probably.

but how much pressure was he actually applying to his neck? bc one of the autopsys said that he didn't die from asphyxiation. so what if it was the drugs and the stressful situation, that he put himself into, that caused him to have a heart attack?

yea the picture looks bad, but you can't prove how much pressure is actually being applied to his neck.

You have really donned your cape for this a-hole cop? George was apparently not a saint but the cops actions are indefensible. Don't die on this hill; it is not for you.

Not only that but he said “I can’t breathe”.

Again, people overdosing on opiates don’t “know” they can’t breathe
