Poasties still arguing Floyd died of an overdose 2+ years later, SMH

@dave
Are you one of those people that think he somehow gained immunity to fentanyl?

He had 10ng/ml of fentanyl detected in his autopsy. You can OD at those levels, but fentanyl is a fast-acting drug.

If someone dies of an OD, you will find very little norfentanyl in their system, because norfent is a metabolite of fentanyl. When you find a decent amount of norfentanyl, that means they took it a while ago, and overdose isn't what killed them.

George Floyd had a significant amount of norfent in his system. In addition to the marginal amount of fentanyl in his system, and the fact that he was a long-term drug addict, it indicates that his fentanyl levels aren't what killed him.

@dave
They also didn't find any signs of strangulation on the first autopsy and they had to redo it just to make something up.

Let's not fucking pretend you can do potent drugs over and over again without it having consequences on your body. Let's not pretend they don't wear your body over time to where there's no way of knowing when something gives up. Let's not pretend that every time you take overdose amounts of drugs, and you're lucky enough to survive, that somehow means your body is as good as new as soon as it all leaves your system.

Don't be that person.

@dave
There's a reason the "don't do meth" memes exist. Strong drugs have lasting effects on your body. Just because you survive what should be overdoses over and over again, doesn't mean your body is in tip top shape.

Correct, but that you were a drug use doesn't mean the cop that ignored your pleas to stop choking you, for several minutes and in the presence of tons of bystanders, is going to get away with it after you die.

@dave
So your argument is "he's guilty because he didn't provide medical help". He's a fucking cop, dealing with a criminal that just lied to them. Why the fuck should they have trusted him? Besides, Floyd was the one resisting arrest, and saying "take me out of the car". The cops did! What were they supposed to do after? Let him run away? They were barely restraining him as it is. Maybe you 'Muricans have it too good, and never had to kneel, but I remember when I saw the video thinking "he's clearly barely putting ANY real weight on the guy, this is open and shut". But somehow all of you don't seem to understand how the weight distribution would have worked.

@alyx @dave Stopping choking someone is not "not providing medical help". Don't be stupid, PLEASE!

@Hyolobrika @dave
He was still in the car when the "I can't breath" shit started to happen. The only thing he was choking on was his own drugs.

"I can't breathe" was in the context of him claiming to be claustrophobic, a stunt he also pulled during an arrest in 2019.

10ng/ml does mean he was high, and people have ODed on less, but how much it takes to OD is highly dependent on how much of an addict you are, and from what I can tell he was definitely an addict.

His levels were actually only slightly above the levels found in your average DUI arrest (something like 9.5), and well under the average OD level of 17ng/ml.

So your claim is that he lied about not being able to breath in the cop car, but he suddenly turned honest the second he hit pavement. My apologies for not believing this bullcrap.

I do believe that the police chokehold designed to restrict a suspect’s breathing (and bloodflow) was in fact restricting his breathing as intended and as he claimed, yes.

@dave @Hyolobrika
You have no clue what a hold is designed to do. You have no clue where your body weight goes when you kneel like that. If it actually were to go on the leg you hold on a person, then Floyd could have EASILY destabilized Chauvin and make him lose balance and maybe even fall. Instead you see Chauvin rock solid, despide Floyd's struggles, because he plants his weight ON THE SOLID GROUND, not Floyd's neck.

But go back to your fantasy world, where we ignore physics, medicine, and everything else.

> If it actually were to go on the leg you hold on a person, then Floyd could have EASILY destabilized Chauvin and make him lose balance and maybe even fall.

This is like poast levels of wrong. Like you sound like a person who has never wrestled trying to explain why you would be an amazing wrestler if you wanted to be.

@dave @Hyolobrika
Balance yourself on a moving object. See how well that goes for you.

@dave @Hyolobrika
Not to mention that how the fuck should anyone be able to tell when a lying scum is lying and when he isn't? If you want to condemn someone for not being a walking lie detector, and venerate a drug addict, go for it. As for me, I'll probably die knowing Derek Chauvin did nothing wrong.
