By the way, I am not even a supporter of most of the tenets of BLM.

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner (HCME) listed drug use as being a factor that could have contributed to the death of George Floyd. But it reported that neck compression and cardiopulmonary arrest played a larger role in his death.

I guess that British tabloid you read (The Sun) blew enough smoke your way....
You been reading too much liberal media. The Hennepin county medical examiner did no find any sign of asphyxiation, or strangulation

Quote from article:
"The complaint filed by the Hennepin County Attorney, Mike Freeman, also says the Medical Examiner’s Office uncovered “no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation.”

https://heavy.com/news/2020/05/georg...death-autopsy/

You cannot listen to what the independent examiner says. I doubt the Floyd family has that kind of money to hire a famous Dr Baden. He likely hired by liberal media, Democrats, and whatever you want to call them to push their own narrative.

If knee on neck is that deadly, we have far far more cases of this kind of death through the years. We dont. After like 7 minutes of not killing him, how will the extra 2 do it?

Remember Chauvin cannot apply any more downward force than gravity, and his weight will allow. It is not like he jumped up and down on Floyd's neck. If he was something have to break in order to kill him.

The official autopsy did not find any asphyxiation or trauma to the neck.

The knee on the neck was an approved move by the department to control out of control criminals like Floyd.

Regardless of what you think of the George Floyd case, how in the world does that relate to this teen girl getting murdered?

Both of you guys know he died because of the neck pressure. You think it isn't obvious that both of you are biased in favor of the police and it's shocking that you come to the conclusion that supports your biased view? We all saw the video of his knee in his neck for a couple of minutes after he lost consciousness. You will just believe whatever fits your biased opinion.

Incorrect. I'm gonna assume the Hennepin County medical examiner knows more about his demise than you.

The same can be said of you. Your opinion is just an opinion, nothing special. Fact is, this bum OD'd.

"An autopsy carried out by Dr. Andrew Baker, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner, in June last year concluded Floyd's death was a homicide."

I simply do not believe most non-black Americans live life judging black people, and have an air of condescension towards them. There surely must be people like that, but hey exist from any color or ethnicity, and judge anyone not like themselves. The vast majority of people are too busy with life, frankly.

I think that is BELIEVED there is this thought towards blacks, but say anything too many times, and people believe it when its not true.

But why not also protest the sex discrimination. If you look at the stats males are much more likely to get arrested or stopped by the police.
