"The officer’s actions were inappropriate and possibly a contributing factor as adding stress the Floyd’s overtaxed system."
Wrong. Restraining Floyd by putting him on the ground and keeping him there was the only way to try to help him after struggling unsuccessfully for ten minutes to calm him down. If you bothered to watch all the video you would know the cops called for EMT before Floyd went quiet, and raised the call level when he did go quiet. Did any of the bystanders call EMT?

There can be little doubt Floyd died of an overdose of Fentanyl. But I've read the autopsy online and not found anywhere where it says that "Floyd’s lungs weighed two to three times normal weight"

Hung jury - this establishes reasonable doubt at a minimum

“....on Tuesday, prosecutors who have charged Derek Chauvin with murder released a document that suggests that he had nothing to do with Floyd’s death, which in all likelihood resulted from a drug overdose. Not only that, prosecutors have known that fact for months....”

Maybe the prosecutors should be prosecuted.

Blacks can kill whites indiscriminately
Blacks can kill blacks indiscriminately
But Whites cannot kill blacks not matter the circumstances

Has any other media organization picked up this story?

I would think this would fall under the category of:

BREAKING NEWS!

What killed Floyd? A deadly drug cocktail overdose.

No, fentanyl didn’t kill George Floyd - it was the tool, like a gun or knife - he killed himself - suicide by fentanyl.......

So the cops are being tried for killing a man who committed suicide.

I did watch the video. The guy was already contained and restrained and not resisting nor a threat at that point: There was no reason for Chauvin to be physically on him once he was already on the ground. Furthermore, there was no police effort to resuscitate him. Bystanders as well as other officers did try to deter Chauvin.

Everyone’s mind is already made up. Facts will just make them more angry. After all, if the coroner is white, it’s a conspiracy. If he is black, he is an Uncle Tom. They just want to be angry.

You need to take off those rose-tinted specs when watching the videos
"The guy was already contained and restrained and not resisting nor a threat at that point"
At no point was he contained or restrained until Chauvin put him on the ground
"There was no reason for Chauvin to be physically on him once he was already on the ground"
Chauvin was physically on him to make sure he stayed contained and restrained
"Furthermore, there was no police effort to resuscitate"
You obviously haven't watch all the video, only the bits that support your bias.

I said he was restrained and contained "at that point" meaning once on the ground and told not to move, he did not struggle to get up. Shackles could've been used in leiu of that.

There was no reason to be on a non responsive person for 4 minutes. Please tell me where in this video they administered resuscitation? https://youtu.be/0gQYMBALDXc

The answer is they didn't. I'm not the one with rose colored glasses or bias between the two of us.

I'll spell it out for you one last time:
he did not struggle to get up
The reasons he did not struggle to get up were
(1) he had two cops restraining him
(2) the lethal overdose of fentanyl in his bloodstream (of which at that point the cops could not have been aware)
Please tell me where in this video they administered resuscitation? ... The answer is they didn't
You obviously still haven't watched all the video
When they got him into the ambulance, the cop started CPR.
I'm not wasting any more time with you.
