1. I find it disturbing people are still saying “Floyd wouldn’t have died if he didn’t so drugs or resist “

   Say what you will🙄 , but I just find it peculiar that medical professionals WORK WITH combative patients in states FAR WORSE …. on the regular without killing them. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

   Why ….?
   Different standards , different methods of communicating.

   Curious. 🤔

2. it absolutely was not an opioid overdose that killed him.

   i grew up with MANY heroin and fentanyl addicts and i've found them quite a few times overdosing, which is when 911 was called and they were revived, or not, depending on if i found them in time or not.

   all of the symptoms my caregivers had whilst overdosing were absolutely not shown in george's case. he did not stop breathing UNTIL Derek's knee was on his neck.

   for one, if he was overdosing, he would've been unconscious a lot sooner. overdoses from opioids typically happen very quickly. while overdosing, they're typically slumped and sometimes limp, mostly or completely unresponsive, eyes half lidded or totally closed, pinpoint pupils, clammy, sweaty skin, labored or slow breathing, and will be blue/grey in the face depending on skin tone.

   george was NOT overdosing and i don't care what anyone who says otherwise has to say because you are wrong, period. i grew up in this epidemic.

3. Turns out drug overdose including fentanyl can cause asphyxia!

4. FREE DERRICK CHAUVIN!! IM GLAD FLOYD CANT BREATHE. DRUG ADDICT

5. Drug use+ poor health+forcible compression= Death of George.
   Does anybody ever think of this or just ignoring some vital factors due to popular beliefs and the gravity of the case. Sad.

6. Floyd was a criminal, a junkie, who pointed a gun on a pregnant woman.

   He just saved taxpayers money that would otherwise be spent on him in prison by dying during arrest.

7. I can't believe how many morons are on here just calling for a guilty verdict without any further evidence than the original video.

8. Wonder how much money the examiner got to cover up the actual cause of death. Chauvin's leg was on his shoulder, no neck compression involved.

9. Or the 3X the legal does of Fentanyl

10. So many girls at my work tonight said he shouldn’t have went to jail and all the medical experts said he died cause he was on drugs as far as I heard it was the opposite it was so disheartening to hear people I thought I knew saying his death was his fault because I know had officer Chauvin not knelt on his neck he would still be here and to here people tell me they believe otherwise its just so hard to hear but they have never and probably will never know what its like to be a minority in this country I am afraid when my brothers leave the house because they look big and scary but they aren’t all it takes it the wrong situation and it can all go south

11. Guilty on all 3 counts, goodbye awful cop.

12. I have heard so many different testimony saying he died of heart problems.

13. What if you put your knee like that on a healthy person…would they die?

14. This is a lie, the coroner did say initially in the report he died from an overdose. He also said that its impossible for him to have doed feom a knee on the back of the neck. To choke someone you would need pressure on both arteries, which are on the front of the neck. He testified exactly that when cross examined. Have you ever seen someone choke someone, they use both hands and do it from the front. When choked out from behind the entire arm needs to be around the entire neck. This is common sense people.

15. I predict that Chauvin will get a mistrial or acquittal through some juror who gets into the jury who follows the ultra-right, racist teachings of our former president. The same will happen with the police officers who apparently just executed Adam Toledo after he was raising his hands and thus posed no threat — at least up to the time when the video was stopped, since the actual shooting was apparently cut out of the video. It would have probably been too incriminating to those police officers.

    Like Mr. Floyd, Adam Toledo did not pose any threat when he was shot by the police. He was raising his hands in the last scene of the video online! The whole video seems to be unavailable online. The video seems to stop when he raises his hands and before he is shot.

    I think it unlikely that he would have posed a threat after raising his hands. This looks like another execution of a member of a hated minority group by racist, fat policemen who might have been angry that he ran, and they had to chase after him.

    Sadly, the most powerful groups like the idea of members of despised minorities getting shot, which is why powerful handguns are issued to police and their use is encouraged. In other countries, like the UK, police use guns only as the last alternative: there are many tasers, immobilizing guns, etc., that police could use to avoid executing minority children like this.

    The racism of the most powerful groups (who like to pretend that they are liberal and not racist) is the secret that most US media (per Forbes Magazine owned by 15 billionaires) keeps: that the most politically powerful groups are often secretly very racist, but their members keep getting elected judges, politicians, etc. The judges are often wily, corrupt racists, who are charming and carefully conceal their corruption and racism. Only their actions reveal their true nature as in LA County. That is the big lie through which more and more public legal tender (US money) keeps covertly getting funneled to those ultra rich by their (privately owned by deceptively named to mislead the public) "Federal" Reserve bank cartel. (E.g., OVER $2 TRILLION in US legal tender was just covertly gifted by the “Fed” to the banks in exchange for their uncollectible, mortgage-backed-securities.)

    It is why your savings, pension payments, wages, etc., will become worthless as inflation takes off to decrease the liabilities of the banks that own the "Federal" Reserve, which are owned by the ultra rich. See DW’s “Are we ready for the next crisis?”

    Wiser members of minority groups should always try to elect only members of their own group and not those members of other, richer, powerful groups that like to pretend that they are not racists. Many times, I have heard many such persons refer to minority members with racist, derogatory terms behind their backs. Do not be fooled anymore!

    They plan to eventually replace you with AIs in most jobs. See “Deepmind made a superhuman AI for 57 Atari games” in this site. Read about DeepPatient, which is an AI like those that will be used to deny you health insurance (if you are going to get sick within the next five or so years) if they can repeal the ACA, as they have tried for years in mountsinai dot o r g.

16. It's pure murder, case closed

17. Lets see someone do this to Baker, see if he lives to explain how he felt and proof that he survived it!! Let's see if his heart doesn't stop!! George Floyd was begging for his LIFE!! He was moaning in Pain! He pleaded he could not BREATHE!! He was pinned down like a animal in hard cement, just like Eric Garner was pressed down against hard concrete!! Let them lay him down on hard concrete, with their heart being pressed against a hard surface or concrete and experience if it stops the heart from expanding heartbeats!! George Floyd a Black man, was treated as if his Black Life Did not MATTER!! They need to be compressed down on hard concrete and, and see if their heart doesn't begin to experience difficulty beating!! #JusticeforGeorgeFloyd

18. This is called "Poking Holes in the Case"!! Downplaying IT!! #JusticeforGeorgeFloyd

19. It doesn't matter what he had in the system sit on the throat of all those jerks that want to blame that sit on that cop throat for 9 minutes and let him beg for air

20. I want that defense attorney to put those medical examiners on the floor and have the heavy cup sit on their throat for 9 minutes and see what happens doesn't matter what George had in the system he was begging for air do the same thing to those medical examiners
