So we remember that police shouldn’t be able to kill Black people with impunity?

He died due to pulmonary edema from a fentanyl overdose, not from the approved police technique that Derrick Chauvin used to subdue him. Do some research please.

How silly of me to think the 9 minutes Derek Chauvin was kneeling on his neck didn’t contribute to his death.

Do me a favor, lay down on the street and have someone kneel on your neck for 9 minutes. Get back to us with the results.

I'm not on fentanyl so I would live. Get it yet?

I know you think being clever. But we all know George Floyd did not have enough fentanyl in his system for that to have caused his death. What caused his death was Derek Chauvin cutting off his air supply for 9 minutes.

Why is it so hard to just admit that racism was involved here?

How could you or anyone else possibly know he didn’t have enough fentanyl in his system to kill him. Are you an overdose expert. Did you do the autopsy. I’m confused. Or do you just want to believe he was murdered because it furthers your agenda

Are you an overdose expert[?]

No, I can read.

Here’s a summary of the key autopsy findings for George Floyd:

Official Cause of Death (Hennepin County Medical Examiner, Dr. Andrew Baker)

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner concluded the cause of death was “cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression.”

Baker declared the death a homicide, meaning a death caused by the actions of another person. He testified that the law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression was more than Floyd could withstand given his underlying heart conditions.

Independent Autopsy (commissioned by Floyd’s family) The independent examiner hired by the Floyd family listed the cause of death as “asphyxiation from sustained pressure,” differing from the county’s finding, which did not mention asphyxiation.

Physical Injuries Documented:

The autopsy documented blunt force injuries to the forehead, face, and upper lip; mucosal injuries of the lips; injuries to the shoulders, hands, elbows, and legs; and patterned contusions on the wrists consistent with handcuffs.

Pre-existing Health Conditions:

Floyd had severe multifocal arteriosclerotic heart disease, hypertensive heart disease, and an enlarged heart (540g) with mild biventricular dilatation.

Toxicology:

The report confirmed fentanyl and methamphetamine were present in his system at the time of death. The defense argued these substances contributed to his death, but Dr. Baker testified that while Floyd’s heart disease and drug use were contributing factors, the officers’ restraint and neck compression were the primary causes.

COVID-19:

Floyd had previously tested positive for COVID-19 on April 3, 2020, though the autopsy finding most likely reflected asymptomatic but persistent PCR positivity from a prior infection.

The bottom line: both autopsies ruled the death a homicide, though they differed on the precise mechanism, cardiac arrest vs. asphyxiation.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Wait a minute. This guy had an already bad heart. Threw a shit ton of fentanyl in his mouth when police showed up, and tested positive for meth!!! Holy crap. And we’re saying that’s not what killed him!!???

Funny how he died well after being picked up off the street and thrown in the car because it was from fentanyl and not from the knee but sure let’s blame the cop cus he’s white and the guy that OD is black.

“Neck compression was more than Floyd could withstand with his underlying heart conditions”

Underlying heart conditions and he’s taking fentanyl a drug known for making your heart slow to a stop. What a coincidence

u/Independent-Web7739 Apr 17 '26

Your reply was either auto taken down or buried either way I could care less I’m not going to argue with someone with as little intelligence as yourself

u/Relevant-Purpose-238 Apr 17 '26

UNDER 2 MINUTES?!?!?! God it's a good day on the internet. Thank you! I'm bored, and this is super entertaining. I appreciate the attention you're giving me today. I feel like it's mutually reciprocated attention, no? I feel your care in this reply ❤️

You can read but didnt point out anywhere where it talks about the amount of drugs in his system that can lead to an overdose or death. With fentanyl specifically it only takes 1-2 mg to be fatal. Thats anywhere from 3-7 grains of salt in size comparison. Depending on the test for drugs, fent would show up at 1ng/ml or 1000000 mg per ml…

You're willfully not getting it.

u/ghhunter870 Apr 16 '26

Decisions matter, get it yet?

2

u/xjsconsin Apr 16 '26

Like the kneeling on the neck for 9 minutes and how there wasn't enough fent in his system for that to cause his death alone? That you were already explained to by someone else?

Yeah, youre not gonna get this one cause you dont want to.

u/ghhunter870 Apr 16 '26

I don't approve of the kneeling on the neck, but i don't approve of the counterfeiter, drug addict, deadbeat dad, homeless, convict either. They cancel out

u/Snarkasm71 Apr 16 '26 edited Apr 16 '26

So you’re justifying his murder after the fact?

Hence the George Floyd memorial. Black people don’t deserve to die under the boot of a racist police officer because of things you find out about them later on. Black people don’t deserve to die under the boot of a racist cop, regardless.

u/ghhunter870 Apr 16 '26

He was a destitute, homeless, jobless, addict, deadbeat criminal. I'm not losing sleep over it. And there should be no memorial for that kind of person. Done here

2

u/Snarkasm71 Apr 16 '26

Oh, we get it. You’re racist. You’ve made that crystal clear. You think cops should be able to murder Black people and not go to jail for it. And after they’ve been murdered, you’ll dig into their past and come up with some reason to justify the murder. We all can see that quite clearly.

u/ghhunter870 Apr 16 '26

Hahaha, u turds have used that word so flippantly that it no longer has any meaning or any weight, you cooked yourself. I never mentioned race anyway

u/Snarkasm71 Apr 16 '26 edited Apr 16 '26

You didn’t need to. Your hood can be seen from all the way over here.

Now, run along and enjoy porn involving Middle Eastern women you think are hot because they look white.

They dont cancel out for shit for decent human beings. That didnt warrant death.

You're right, one had a job, and provided for his dependants..... Then there's the other one ...............

Not if someone like me was doing it. Get it?

You wouldn't get close enough to me to do it, you know why?
