Floyd was talking five minutes while under restraint! The knee did nothingI guess we'll see if the court determines that, but when fentanyl is involved, there's often not much that can be done. There isn't evidence that the knee procedure actually choked him.The evidence currently shows that Floyd intentionally consumed a large amount of drugs from a dealer that was in his car. It ended up being a fatal dose many times over.I repeat : He was dead at the scene. All of the officers should get time, and Chauvin more time.
That's not the fault of the cops.
Wrong.
He likely would have survived the drugs, and we won't know because they killed him before we could find out.
It takes a long time to die from an overdose, and this all happened in less than 10 minutes, so any swallowed drugs would not even have dissolved in his stomach yet.
It is entirely the fault of the cops.
They had no right to even open his car door.
He was having trouble breathing before that technique, and the technique itself doesn't cut off airflow.
The cops also called for medical help, but it didn't get there in time, so if you want to blame someone, you can blame those services for not arriving in time, although that's a resource issue, not a criminal one.
