Literally what the fuck are you talking about? Floyd went into cardiac arrest. He was resuscitated. Multiple times.
NOTHING in your magical fairy fluffy foofoo world of "recovery position" would have helped anything. It was the cardiac arrest that was the problem. The recovery position does not cure OR HELP the cardiac arrest.
It's like we're on a different planet here. I thought we might be getting somewhere, for a little while. Now, I just want to know what the fuck you're talking about.
According to the coroner's report, there was no damage to the throat whatsoever. That means the "knee on the neck" was there to keep the head pointed one way, nothing more. It wasn't pressure, merely control, which is a law enforcement officer's job.
I don't believe Chauvin is accountable. That being said, if the jury finds that he's fully accountable, fine. I'm not really concerned, beyond looking at the facts as we know them.
No.
Slide 1, specifically references cardiac arrest, then states clearly recovery position alleviates positional asphyxia, which exacerbates cardiac arrest:

Slide 2 illustrates the unused recovery position, and Floyd died of cardiac arrest, and complained of asphyxia, which can occur even if the throat isnt stomped on.

JFC, the medical examiner IS the coroner. Andrew Baker IS the Hennepin Country medical examiner, he is the pathologist listed on the autopsy report, he is referenced as the medical examiner in the FBI interview that Goom linked.
In the FBI interview, it is stated that the "...press release from Baker's office included some personal comments to help the public understand the autopsy report."
