Wall Street Journal ^ | Aug 28 2020 | By Shayndi Raice and Erin Ailworth

A lethal overdose of fentanyl killed George Floyd, not a knee on his neck, argued a lawyer for former Officer Derek Chauvin in a motion to dismiss the charges against his client filed Friday.

I’m sure he was pretty uncomfortable, no doubt about it.

I’m not sure how these officers were supposed to know the
man had already killed himself, and time was just playing
out on them all.

Yup, millions still believe unarmed Blackman Mike brown had his hands up and never bum rushed a cop who shot in self defense.

That is job of Fake news.

Thanks. We’re on the same page.

I have family members who are sure the officers killed him.

It’s hard to sell the idea that you really do need to step
back and wait for full disclosure.

Once folks get their necks out so far, it’s hard to save
face and pull it beck in.

With the drug mix they found in him, he was already dead when they subdued him.

I posted this for months here in FR with in the hopes it would be picked up and used to reduce those riots.

The thing that triggered these riots was the MSM reporting of the Floyd demise and spiking the facts behind his condition at the time. Because of that getting those facts out are desperately needed

Why not print this up and pass around in your precinct

The democrat controlled media racist killing reporting was a deliberate miss portraying of the six foot seven inch 200 plus pound Floyd as an innocent black who was being forceably restrained because he was black not because he was resisting arrest.When He was legitimately arrested for passing a counterfeit $20 dollar bill he was resisting arrest and was a threat if not secured. But the media was not mentioning his size or reporting that Floyd was removed from a squad car because he was acting up under the influence of drugs and also later was discovered to have COVID 19. Which suggests his physical condition may have led to his death which the media turned into a murder change and a charge of serious abuse by police because of police efforts that were tried to get him who under control.

If Obama had urged blacks to believe in the justice system and comply with the police would we be confronting his use of creating racial division now ?
The results of politically induced miss reporting incidents where blacks have resisted legitimate arrest began to be used earlier during and after the post Zimmmerman trial, then on to the Ferguson episode. Obama’s abuse of the “Bully Pulpit” which seemed to promote resistance to legitimate arrest led to black gangs attacking non blacks found innocently traversing black neighborhoods and to a score of murders or life changing injuries and later attacks of theft and vandalism on local businesses as well as attacks and murders of police officers during that period

Yet Derek Chauvin will go to jail for $400 K of tax evasion...the civil suit will be settled because the video is TOO hard to watch. He knew the person he killed...bizarre things that will never go away.

The guy was a time bomb waiting to go off.

Hypertension, heart disease, multiple drugs on board at high dose.
Then he develops an excited delirium and starts struggling with the cops.

Boom.

Hospital by one report performed blood draws for lab work right up to thirty-five minutes after Floyd arrived by ambulance.

Hadn't heard about tax evasion.

Read that they worked part time for the same club but actually didn't know each other.

$95 k was off the books security work it sounds like. I’ve heard it is almost impossible for the outside guy, Chauvin, and the inside guys Floyd to not know each other. It sounds like the club was dirty, and when I heard an interview that the two had some kind of bad debt between them, then they did not know each other...story of the club “owner”...change...it sounds like everyone does not want this story to be heard.

Who knows?

Fact of the matter is Chauvin didn't kill Floyd.

There is a photo showing a tablet in his mouth. He was full of drugs, any of which would kill him. The police only issue was not leaving him in the vehicle. They did not murder him.

I have seen speakers at the RNC saying he was murdered and he was not.
