Perhaps taking synthetic Heroin and resisting arrest contributed to his own death. Why are we bending over backwards to excuse the crimes of some to search for a crime by others?
Straining at gnats, we swallow camels.
Because there was a crime by others. Not just by others, but by others we pay to prevent crime and not commit it. I would agree with the medical examiner that all three factors - heart issues, drugs in system, kneeling on Floyd - contributed to Floyd's death. Take away any one of the three and it's probable that FLoyd doesn't die on the street there. But the three did occur, together they all contributed to his death, the police were responsible for one of three - an illegal act by police standards in and of itself, so the police need to be held responsible for their actions.
