George Floyd Riots Are a Warning to Autocratic Governors

The George Floyd rioters may identify with Floyd because they feel that state or local government is kneeling on their necks.

The claim that Floyd died of strangulation ignores the fact he was able to say "I can't breathe!" The fact Floyd could speak means he could exhale air through his throat. Thus the statement "I can't breathe!" probably indicates he could not expand his lungs so he could draw in air. He would have had trouble expanding his lungs lying face down with a man on his back.

If the men involved in Floyd's death are typical of those who work for the Minneapolis police department I'm glad I don't have to rely on the Minneapolis police department for protection.

So then he was Burked.

rioters may identify with Floyd because.....

The given reason is almost never the reason.

People have been thrown out of their jobs and then cooped up for 2 months. Lots of folks now have no money and no idea of where it's going to come from in the future. Quarantine is almost over and the panic is setting in.

The full report of the ME is pending but the ME has made the following preliminary findings. The autopsy revealed no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation. Mr. Floyd had underlying health conditions including coronary artery disease and hypertensive heart disease.

Get it? No asphyxia. For those in Rio Linda, the breathing was unimpaired. The lungs were working to get oxygen to the body.

You are not quoting it in full. You omit the sentence about how the cop's standing on his neck was a contributing factor to his death.

The fake $20 was a contributing factor. The store clerk was a contributing factor, etc.

The shock impulse and false narrative was set and even fueled on Free Republic. The truth is irrelevant as poor George is fading away as is our country. WE HAVE BEEN PLAYED from COVID to Floyd.
