Police methods of restraint the world over has become far more aggressive in restraining individuals, with no thought given to the thought of the underlying health problems that individuals.
Why didn't they use mace spray to subdue him? Although that is something that could put people with COPD, asthma, emphysema, and related diseases, at risk.
Alternative facts are obviously preferable to some people. Must be part of Kellyanne Conway's legacy. LOL We saw what the officer did, that's a fact. Anything else is conjecture.
But some will always try to justify horrendous and illegal behaviour through extenuating circiumstances; like the physically abusive men i've heard who defended themselves with "she made me do it," or the rapists who defended themselves with "she teased me and never said no."
Thatβs like saying he died of natural causes, a police knelt down on his neck for over 8 minutes so naturally he died.
Donβt pee on us and tell us itβs raining.
Talk about grasping at straws and trying to justify an obvious brutal murder. There seems to not be a low point for some people.
He had Fentanyl intoxication but that did not cause his death...it was was caused by asphyxiation due to his airways being blocked by a knee placed on his neck. The medical examiner is quite clear on that point. Letβs only post facts not wild and untrue statements in this group, this is a first warning, so take heed.
"The Office of the Armed Forces Medical Examiner agrees with the autopsy findings and the cause of death certification of George Floyd as determined by the Hennepin County Medical Examinerβs Office. His death was caused by the police subdual and restraint in the setting of severe hypertensive atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and methamphetamine and fentanyl intoxication. The subdual and restraint had elements of positional and mechanical asphyxiation. The presence of sickle cell trait is a significant finding in this context."
