T he family of George Floyd and the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office agreed to release the full autopsy report of George Floyd.

In the report, it is stated that Floyd died of cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint and neck compression.

Floyd had multiple blunt force injuries to his forehead, face and upper lip as well as cutaneous blunt force injuries of the shoulders, hands, elbows and legs.

KSTP's Full Coverage

Along with the blunt force injuries, it's noted that Floyd had multiple natural diseases. Floyd was shown to have severe multifocal arteriosclerosis heart disease as well as hypertensive heart disease.

It is noted that no life-threatening injuries were identified in Floyd.

A postmortem nasal swab was taken, which confirmed that Floyd was positive for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. It is noted that Floyd was known to be positive for COVID-19 on April 3. The postmortem positivity likely reflects asymptomatic but persistent PCR positivity from previous infection, the report said.

In 2020 you don’t even die unless it is Covid 19

OK, the guy was a walking (health) time bomb.

But you don’t pin a person on the ground by compressing his neck with your knee if he’s not resisting in a very serious way. That method could be life threatening or crippling to a healthy person.

These cops don’t get a pass from me.

I suggest they start watching Medcram videos to see exactly why his COVID 19 could have been a big factor in this...and ask for further testing of lung tissue etc.

he was resisting in a serious way and had bags of what appear to be drugs drop from his body. the 911 said he appeared intoxicated.

that said, a knee on the neck is APPROVED police procedure but I can see all kinds of ways it could go wrong

I agree. He may have been a porn making gangster with a criminal record and drugged up but what that prick did when he had cuffs on can’t be justified.

The report also says that he had meth on board as well as the fentanyl...aka a “speedball”, along with prior chronic cocaine use, a cardio toxin.

You get a lot of the same behavior as from PCP — the stimulant keeps him awake, and the fentanyl kills his coordination and greatly slows his mental faculties.

Narcotics in his system which is what the arresting officers reported they suspected based on how he was behaving.

If I’m understanding this correctly (and I’m sure someone on FR will correct me if I’m not), one of the other officers said something to the cop who was kneeling on his neck that Floyd didn’t appear to have a pulse and shouldn’t he stop kneeling on him.

The officer’s response was No.

Obviously I’m not a lawyer, LEO or use of force expert but on the surface it appears to be some kind of criminal negligence on the part of the kneeling officer.

If you will remember, Rodney King was believed to be on “angel dust” (”Dusted”). That is why the tasers did not work and they had to club him down setting off the LA riots in 1992.

Plus he was following police procedures....no way can you find that cop guilty in a court of law with rational jurists.
