MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - New exhibits filed in the case against the four former Minneapolis Police Officers accused of murdering George Floyd suggest the Hennepin County Medical Examiner thought George Floyd’s fentanyl levels were at a potentially “fatal level”, but his and other medical examiner’s findings showed he died of a combination of factors.

In other words, Floyd's death would likely have been called an overdose under different circumstances

I called it an overdose from the beginning because that is what it was.

The four cops will walk free.

Under the Brand New Death Reporting rules established by the ChiCom Flu, if he had ANY DRUGS in his system, he died from a drug overdose

They should walk, here we have a large man on multiple drugs being restrained as the officers were taught. He resisted arrest and later died as a result of his choices. Sad, but if you resist arrest these things will happen.

Saint Floyd was in very poor health after a lifetime of drug abuse.

He had the KungFlu which is very tough on the lungs.

But the media and all the democrats say he was murdered by four racists cops just because he was black.

Let’s see who the jury believes.

Certainly reasonable doubt enough to get them off a murder charge.

Still hanging out there on a misconduct of some sort.

“””Still hanging out there on a misconduct of some sort.””

All four were charged with murder. Good luck getting a conviction on that.

Virtually all incidents similar to Floyd’s tend to exonerate the cops once the facts come to light. A rush to judgment by activists, MSM and politicians only exacerbates the situation.

Oh, I know.

My position has “evolved” over the past couple of weeks.

I still think the cop is a D bag and shouldn’t ever wear a badge again. But there is reasonable doubt for murder. I think they DA knew that when he did not charge them with 1st Degree.

That said, I think it will be interesting to see what their prior relationship was, at the bar where they both worked. I think we are going to find this was more “personal” than we know today.

And I agree with the other poster who wrote that the country and Minneapolis will burn if they are acquitted.

As an aside, my SIL, a State LEO was just told that there will be no more time off granted for the week after the election. How is that for ominous?

Maybe, maybe not. An investigation would have answered that question. But there was no investigation. The four cops were fired immediately and charged with murder.

It was three times the lethal dose. Floyd was trying to destroy the evidence by ingesting it. While already high on Meth. Bad move dude.

Plus there is the photo of him swallowing what looked like a large pill or package. More likely illegal drugs.
He killed himself.
