More spreading of the lie. The autopsy shows George Floyd was *not* killed by the police. He died in police custody, of massive heart failure, probably brought on by his violent resisting of the four police officers while they were attempting to put him into the police vehicle.
It was probably exacerbated by a massive drug dose, but we do not have the toxicology report yet.
All based on a video which can be interpreted in a way to see a police murder.
But videos can be deceptive, with many interpretations.
George Floyd was probably saying he could not breath, because his heart was giving out after years of abuse.
He almost certainly was in the process of a massive drug event.
But those things are hard to discern from a video.
How do you tell the difference from a police officer crushing the life out of an innocent man, and a police officer keeping control of a violent convicted felon, high on drugs, who just fought the police for several minutes, while being handcuffed?
You cannot easily tell the difference from watching an eight minute video without context.
The idea the officer was applying massive pressure to Georges neck has been put forward as absolute truth. The autopsy shows it is not true.
It almost certainly is an artifact of the video angle and the narrative pushed on everyone. It may look that way, but there are certain things in the video which demonstrate it is not true.
First, Floyd is able to talk most of the time. His airway is *not* restricted.
Second, he is resisting the officer for the first four minutes of the video, even though he is being held down.
Third, the amount of force required to hold him in place, with the technique being used (approved of by the use of force doctrine on the Minneapolis Police website), is very little.
If may look like a lot of force is being exerted, when, in fact, very little force is being exerted. The technique, itself, being used in the video, requires very little pressure.
The autopsy shows the pressure was applied did not cut off the blood supply or block the airway.
You write like a racist.
Thank you for the analysis.
