Where did you get this crap that Mr. Floyd overdosed on anything? You’re just making that up since the actual facts aren’t supporting your predetermined opinions.

I have not read the FULL autopsy—neither have you or the media. What has been released stated that Floyd died from “cardiac arrest.” In other words, he did NOT die from “I can’t breathe.” Further, it has been released that Floyd had “fentanyl intoxication.” That’s a polite way of saying he was over-dosing on fentanyl. Fentanyl has probably killed 200,000 people in this country, and it kills by stopping the heart, i.e., “cardiac arrest.” When you combine fentanyl “intoxication” with pre-existing heart conditions, you can understand why Floyd died. Again, whether the officers’ actions contributed to his death in some way is above my pay grade. I’m not making facts up. You just don’t want to hear the facts. Two things can be true: The officer used excessive force, but this force did not contribute to Floyd’s death. The ME was cited in the criminal complaint as saying that it was “likely” that the officers’ actions contributed to the death. “Likely” isn’t the standard we convict on. We convict on “proof beyond a reasonable doubt.” Stay tuned.
Intoxication is not the same as an overdose. Had the man been overdosed he would have been unconscious and the police would have had to call an ambulance instead of killing him.
My parents were meth addicts and I do know what an overdose looks like.
