Change likely death by overdose to guaran-damn-teed death by overdose.

The knee on the neck had nothing to do with it.

And anyone who’s actually bothered to read the damn autopsy report saw that spelled out very clearly. No damage to neck. No signs of petechiae from strangulation or interrupted blood flow.

Real helpful after ALL the media hyped it as a killing. Even FAUX news participated in the PSYOPs to get the violence going.

Sick and tired of Media prejudging cases. They need to quit all the speculation or loose their license. spit.

It was announced he had a fatal dosage on board.
(pretty sure I read that in the last few days)

Is there any question what he actually died from now?

When they put Floyd on his stomach and secured Floyd’s head they were doing exactly as they were taught in the MPD training manuals.

And a fentanyl level three times the lethal dose.

Any and all msm types, persons and outfits, print or broadcast, that stated, hinted at or alluded to “... because of cops/police killing George Floyd” in any way related to any protest or riot coverage should be arrested as co-conspirators, agitators and anything else that can be made to fit.

People who think the police killed him will never change their mind ever my 2 daughters for example and there is no talking to the about it unless you want your head ripped off.

He did not die of asphyxiation or a medical issue related
to asphyxiation. I know what people think they saw, but
the fact is he could still breathe.

He did have a lethal does of Fentanyl in his system.

Now it may be true that he had built up a tolerance to
Fentanyl over time, but I’m not sure that is possible.

I know. After the autopsy came out, I knew that the cop didn’t kill him. Another clue was that no one tried to stop anyone from filming it. Cops obviously did not think there was anything wrong with what was being done.

Only other explanation would be a deliberate attempt to inflame people by doing a snuff film for the broadcast news. And that’s a bit much even for Demshivicks or DemoKKKrats and their co-conspirators in the enemedia.

Did you forget the /s tag or did you not read the autopsy report?

No neck tissue damage. He O.D.ed.
