after reviewing the ME report I don't think its a 'likely' that George Floyd would be alive today even if the cops had never shown up at all and he didn't struggle with him.
between his extreme end-stage heart disease and overdose levels of fentanyl mixed with other drugs, its probably more likely than not he'd have died that night
most overdose deaths don't have as dire a readout as that autopsy


The excuses are over 9000!

Please provide your medical credentials, State licensure, and Board certification that would allow you to come to this prognosis.

Oh wait...

Here is how I think any rational person should read the story...

“After being surprised he failed at something he tried out of the blue for 2 hours, man overreacts and changes his opinion rather than taking into account that actual trainees likely have months of training, years of preparation, and probable military backgrounds before attempting the same training, and that many cops in the field also have an additional X years of training and experience for those situations.”

Reads like an Onion article because it’s as ridiculous as it sounds.

do you not think its true? you dont think that floyd would still be alive if he hadnt tried to fight back? he might be in jail, but he'd likely still be alive. for sure brooks would still be alive.


Brooks would for sure be alive, yes. Floyd would not be because he wasn't resisting.

After experiencing simulations of situations police deal with regularly, in one of which he shot an unarmed man, civil rights activist jarrett maupin reversed his opinion and instead promoted compliance with police.

This was in 2015. If only floyd and others had listened to him, they would still be alive. I wonder what role, if any, Jarrett has taken in the current protests.


Cue the leftists claiming it's staged etc.


Maybe it should occur to you that the training itself is part of the problem?

You can read the ME report for yourself. He had 75-90%+ blocked coronal arteries, 11 ng/ml fentanyl in his system, a history of severe hypertension, sickle cell anemia, an incredibly enlarged heart at 540g, severe LVH at 1.2:0.4mm and a litany of other uppers and downers in his sytem at the same time. There was not a single life threatening injury, no signs of trauma, no markings consistent with strangulation or asphyxia, no petechial hemorrhaging, no compression injuries, no bruising. He reported being unable to breathe and had signs of a heart attack before being restrained, when his struggle with officers to that point had been very minimal.
Having a 90% blocked artery alone is enough you could drop dead at any second, and compound that with all the other comorbidities that cause heart attacks.
Odds are he was a dead man walking

I see, so none of what I was asking. Okay.

Yeah I remember watching this video at the time of the Ferguson riots.

Unfortunately that guy started doing more protests like a week or two later. He was a lead organizer of BLM protests if I remember correctly.

So it worked. For about a day. Lol. Still good insight for other viewers though.

I disagree. Nonspecific injuries were noted in the autopsy and cannot be discounted.
