George Floyd Suicide Trial Approaching - Will America Accept the Verdict?

[BabyBoomer50s]

The suicide of George Floyd triggered insurrections and riots across the country last summer. Many Americans reached their own verdicts based on a cell phone video. Now the trial is approaching. A body of evidence and inconvenient facts that some would prefer to ignore will be presented to the jury. The final verdict(s) may not be what many are expecting. Fasten your seats belts.

wow, suicide by cop's knee. that's an inconvenient one. i'll be waiting with bated breath to see how that flies.

 

[RobDownSouth]

If the courts hold that "sovreign immunity" applies to the egregious murder of George Floyd, then the legal system is irretrievably broken.

Actions should have legal consequences.

They found a lethal amount of fentanyl in his system. Actually 3 times the amount that is routinely considered a cause of death. There was also a bit of meth in his system.

A racist race baiting boomer? How original.

Oh look...Woke-O-Haram is here to claim the cop MADE him OD.

from politifact:


Two autopsies found George Floyd’s death was a homicide
If Your Time is short

Two autopsies concluded that George Floyd’s death was a homicide.

The Hennepin County medical examiner said that Floyd bloodwork showed a “fatal level of fentanyl,” according to court documents, but he didn’t say this killed him.


See the sources for this fact-check

A blog post being shared on Facebook has a headline that contradicts reality in the killing of George Floyd, who died after a Minneapolis police officer pressed his knee into Floyd’s neck on May 25.

"Coroner saying George Floyd died of drug overdose, not police brutality," the Aug. 27 post says.

As evidence, it cites comments from Andrew Baker, the chief medical examiner in Hennepin County, who performed an autopsy on Floyd. But Baker didn’t say that Floyd died of a drug overdose.

The medical examiner’s office ruled that the manner of Floyd’s death was homicide.

The cause of death, according to the medical examiner, was "cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression." The report goes on to say that Floyd "experienced a cardiopulmonary arrest while being restrained" by law enforcement officers.

What that means: Floyd’s heart stopped as Chauvin restrained him.

What a surprise. Cornus is here to affirm a racist thread with his bullshit.

Floyd was killed by the police. If a court says otherwise? There will be justified fury.

What racism ogg???

Your fee fees don't count.

Floyd was killed by the police.

Floyd died while in police custody...not the same thing.

If a court says otherwise? There will be justified fury.

There will be fury, it won't be anymore justified then than it was last year.

It has been ruled a homicide, however, Hennepin County Chief Medical Examiner has reportedly told police this:

27-CR-20-12949
HENNEPIN COUNTY ATTORNEY’S OFFICE Community Prosecution Division MEMORANDUM
TO: State v. Derek Chauvin - file
FROM:
RE: Notes from conversation with Dr. Andrew Baker, Chief Hennepin County Medical Examiner
DATE: June 1, 2020
On May 31, 2020 at 7:30 p.m., Assistant Hennepin County Attorney Patrick Lofton and I met with Dr. Andrew Baker (AB) on Microsoft Teams. All three of us were in different locations.
Filed in District Court State of Minnesota 8/25/2020 3:36 PM
Amy Sweasy
Dr. Baker said he had (and had recently received) the nal toxicology results from Mr. George Floyd’s samples which were analyzed by NMS labs.
AB shared his screen and showed us the results. He said that where it says, “Hospital Blood,” those samples are from Mr. Floyd’s hospital admission and were not acquired at autopsy. AB said that these samples are better for determining actual blood toxicity than samples taken at autopsy. Samples taken at autopsy may have undergone “post mortem distribution.”
AB walked us down the list of substances for which NMS labs tested. Those values he highlighted were:
4ANPP - a precursor and metabolite of fentanyl present in Mr. Floyd’s blood.
Methamphetamine — 19 ng/ML which he described as “very near the low end” and “a stimulant hard on the heart.”
Fentanyl — 11. He said, “that’s pretty high.” This level of fentanyl can cause pulmonary edema. Mr. Floyd’s lungs were 2-3x their normal weight at autopsy. That is a fatal level of fentanyl under normal circumstances.
Norfentanyl — 5.6 a metabolite of fentanyl.
Mr. Floyd’s urine was tested for 4 things and are redundant, given the blood analysis. AB said, “the only thing that matters is what’s in his blood.”

Filed in District Court State of Minnesota 8/25/2020 3:36 PM
AB said that if Mr. Floyd had been found dead in his home (or anywhere else) and there were no other contributing factors he would conclude that it was an overdose death.

Ultimately, a jury will decide. Politifact has chosen to dismiss this evidence. Not sure an impartial jury will do the same, especially with video showing Floyd complaining about an inability to breath before the physical encounter with police.

Floyd died with a knee on his neck. The world has seen that. If the police are exonerated, no American should ever trust your police, whatever your colour.

 

[CornusKousa]

Floyd died with a knee on his neck.

But was it the knee that killed him?? People get restrained like that regularly with no problems. Department SOP.....he was doing what he was supposed to do.

Even better, will they be able to prove the cop had intent.

Or do you think MAYBE the high levels of deadly drugs in his system might cast some reasonable doubt on that assumption???

LOL....he's gonna walk.

The world has seen that.

That doesn't make their assumptions about what they saw true.

Any "journalist" or media outlet can string clips together to show whatever they want....if you haven't figured that out by now then you're hopelessly stuck in the past and or retarded.

What that jury sees/hears is what matters......the publics media warped views? Don't mean shit.

If the police are exonerated, no American should ever trust your police, whatever your colour.

There is no "American Police"...we are not a unitary state Ogg. We're a union of states that all have their own police. On top of that CITIES and counties have their local police.

Minneapolis PD is it's own institution, separate from other police departments. It's run and managed by the city of Minneapolis.

Color has fuck all to do with anything here.

Did the cop Chauvin (or however you spell it) murder with INTENT....they have to prove he intended to kill him and then did it, without the defense being able to cast reasonable doubt that the dangerous levels/combos of drugs in his system might have killed him.

He's gonna walk.

 

[LukSkyFokker]

It has been ruled a homicide, however...

You're a piece of shit who cannot accept fatcs.

 

[CornusKousa]

You're a piece of shit who cannot accept fatcs.

Pure projection from Luk.

 

[LukSkyFokker]

Pure projection from Luk.

How so, Poor lil Dumb-Dumb? Literally, the facts say it was a homicide by a cop.

Oh, you just saw "LUK" and just had to reply no matter how dumb it makes you look.

 

[CornusKousa]

How so, Poor lil Dumb-Dumb? Literally, the facts say it was a homicide by a cop.

ME's opinions aren't facts Luk, words mean things.

Those opinions will be challenged with facts in court.

Oh, you just saw "LUK" and just had to reply no matter how dumb it makes you look.

No, I saw you projecting, like usual...and I decided to fuck with you.

Learn your words and maybe you'll get that GED one day.

 

[Lazaran]

Floyd died with a knee on his neck. The world has seen that. If the police are exonerated, no American should ever trust your police, whatever your colour.

I'm anticipating a murder conviction. Chauvin was charged with 3rd degree murder and it fits his actions.

Contrary to what subhumans think, Police officers don't routinely kneel on perps necks for 8 minutes and 45 seconds while they're handcuffed and lying prone on the ground.

 

[Philthy_Phil]

Oh look....bobo is here ascribing his fiction again. How original.

 

[CornusKousa]

Oh look....bobo is here ascribing his fiction again. How original.

There was no ascription....learn what the word means.

And what fiction phil??

*incoming deflection cuz he's got NOTHING*

Same as ever....

Laz is lying, just cranking out bullshit.

Sometime they go considerably longer.

Doesn't change the fact that it was the department SOP....he was doing what he was supposed to be.

And I didn't see where they reduced his charges, got a link for that??

 

[oggbashan]

And neither have you. We all know how George Floyd died. Anything else is a deflection and a LIE.

 

[CornusKousa]

And neither have you. We all know how George Floyd died. Anything else is a deflection and a LIE.

No, you want to believe the lefty narrative because that's what you always do.

IGNORE the facts....call them "deflection" We know you will, you always do.

 

[oggbashan]

It isn't a lefty narrative. It is a coroner's report.

YOU ARE THE ONE IGNORING THE FACTS and calling them 'lefty'.

Facts have NO bias - unlike you.

 

[Ramone45]

Every loss of life is sad. Mr. Floyd overdosed. That doesn't make it any less tragic, but the police did not murder him.

 

[CornusKousa]

It isn't a lefty narrative. It is a coroner's report.

Yes, it's also a leftist narrative.

YOU ARE THE ONE IGNORING THE FACTS and calling them 'lefty'.

I'm not ignoring any facts.

I'm ignoring the ME's opinion.

The toxicology report brings it into question, the fact that a massive BLM riot was going on when it was written? Also a factor.

I think the ME didn't want BLM to "peacefully protest" his/her house to the ground....so they wrote down what the rioting mob wanted.

Facts have NO bias - unlike you.

No they don't...which is why that toxicology report is going to give one if not more than one person in that jury reasonable doubt.
