I think he'll kill himself.

I think cops want conviction on this to avoid riots again.


Notice how 100% right I have been about everything.

rkba---Usually you and I are on the same page politically---at least for he most part, but from what I've been reading from you and others I get the impression that we might be able to gloss over this tragedy. George Floyd was a victim of a rotten takedown from a shithead cop that cost the man his life and while i condmn the looting and violence that has accompanied the followup to his death, any decent person should be pissed off at the way that man's life was taken away from him----and it doesn't cut it whether you are a Conservative or Liberal. It was wanton murder. We need a real discussion on race in this country and have needed it for decade after decade. Decent people must join forces with our Black brothers and sisters and say enough is enough because this is enough!!!!!!

"George Floyd died Monday from a combination of preexisting health conditions exacerbated by being held down by Minneapolis officers, not from strangulation or asphyxiation, based on the medical examiner’s initial report."

So he was misdiagnosed like those covid conspiracies. l-o-l

I think he'll kill himself.

I was thinking the same thing. I was going to post about it, but now I don't have to. :)

What does he have left? Fired from the force, facing prison time, hot Mystical Chik is divorcing him (unless it really is just to protect assets, but who knows?). He and Kellie didn't have children AFAIK (she apparently does from her first marriage when she was younger). Only thing is, at 44, his parents could still be alive (maybe late 60s, early 70s, hell, one or more grandparents could still be around. I haven't heard if he has siblings.

Do I think he will? Probably not (wonder if he is on suicide watch just in case, then again, that didn't help Jeffrey Epstein).

Suicide watch means they're watching to make sure it gets done.

As for Wifey Chauvin, so much about her confirms what I have posted here about women. She came here to the US as a refugee but is able to marry into the American middle-class. Why? She's Asian. They tend to be hyperfeminine women.

And when you look at what so many American(especially white northern European ancestry) women have become, it's easy to understand why Asian women gobble up American men.

George Floyd tested positive for coronavirus, fentanyl, methamphetamine, arteriosclerosis: Autopsy

Autopsy report: George Floyd died from cardiopulmonary arrest, was positive for COVID-19

Charlie Wiese
Updated: June 03, 2020 08:01 PM
The family of George Floyd and the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office agreed to release the full autopsy report of George Floyd.

In the report, it is stated that Floyd died of cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint and neck compression.

Floyd had multiple blunt force injuries to his forehead, face and upper lip as well as cutaneous blunt force injuries of the shoulders, hands, elbows and legs.

Along with the blunt force injuries, it's noted that Floyd had multiple natural diseases. Floyd was shown to have severe multifocal arteriosclerosis heart disease as well as hypertensive heart disease.

It is noted that no life-threatening injuries were identified in Floyd.

A postmortem nasal swab was taken, which confirmed that Floyd was positive for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. It is noted that Floyd was known to be positive for COVID-19 on April 3. The postmortem positivity likely reflects asymptomatic but persistent PCR positivity from previous infection, the report said.

Some of the specific findings include: "RESPIRATORY SYSTEM: The right and left lungs weigh 1085 and 1015 g, respectively. The external surfaces are pink only on the most anterior aspects, and deep red-purple in all other areas. The pulmonary parenchyma is diffusely congested and edematous. No mass lesions or areas of consolidation are present. The pulmonary vascular tree is free of thromboemboli. The tracheobronchial tree is free of blood, edema fluid, or foreign material."

Floyd's toxicology report showed that he had fentanyl and methamphetamine in his system when he died.

None of which, even if the toxicology info is true, changes the fact that Floyd was suffocated to death by the police.

Floyd looked like a meth head which means cops were going to search his automobile and he knew once an interaction with police began it would escalate to a search of his automobile. Might explain why he said he has claustrophobia and did not want to get in the police car.

"I can't breathe" is something Chauvin took as a provocation or escalation based on previous protests. He thought Floyd was being a loudmouth and Chauvin on his end really stood his ground, excessively. Not smart.

Yes.

A black man with missing teeth accused of passing a fake $20, is probably going to have his automobile searched. Do you agree?

"I can't breathe" is a chant from previous protests, as well as "Hands up don't shoot". When Chauvin heard "I can't breathe" he figured in #copthink and assumed Floyd was just being a big mouth, even though he had a knee to the neck.

Chauvin was going to be manly and not budge until Floyd shut up and onlookers shut up. But Chauvin took his macho posturing too far.

It's not actually a critical piece of evidence in anything.

There are two issues here.

1. Do blacks systematically get treated differently than whites (e.g., arrested vs. not arrested) for minor possible offenses such as passing a single $20 bill (possible offense because presumably a valid defense is that you didn't know it was counterfeit)?

2. Once arrested, do blacks systematically get treated differently from whites?

For neither of these two issues does it matter whether the bill was actually counterfeit or not. Presumably the store employee thought that it was, and called the police as a result.

Right after the murder happened, there were several stories, one if them from the local CBS affiliate in Minneapolis, that quoted the storekeeper as saying he had been mistaken about the bill's authenticity, and that Floyd was a well-known, regular customer in his store. I don't see it in Google now, but it was there as recently as the Wednesday before last.

This came up because JayZee claimed that "The entire job was unfounded." The idea being is that because the bill wasn't actually counterfeit, it was unnecessary to call the police. While it doesn't go to police policy, where they would be obligated to respond to a call and investigate, it is a legitimate issue with regard to race relations whether a person is more likely to call the police on a black person than on another person.

In the case of a counterfeit bill, if the bill weren't actually counterfeit, then it would be racist if the shopkeeper assumed it was if because Mr. Floyd was using it. It would still be racist if it actually was, but the shopkeeper would never have had such suspicion if the holder weren't black.

The Cooper incident in Central Park is a classic example of racist use of emergency services.

OK, agreed, but note that there are no protest marches about Amy Cooper, or even about the guys in FL who actively pursued and killed a black jogger. Those people are potentially exhibiting racism (accusing a black person of a crime where they wouldn't have accused a white person doing exactly the same thing), but they don't work for us.
