It raises the legitimate question of whether it was, in fact, the angry bystanders who in effect “killed” Floyd by interfering with the officers’ ability to provide Floyd with the attention and care which he’d otherwise have received.
That's what I've been saying. That's why the prosecution trotted out little kids to cry for the jury. They knew the crowd's character was going to be impeached (that's also why the defense baited the MMA dude to puff up in court.) And why was the crowd so hostile? In a cosmic twist of irony we discover that it was Black Lives Matter who killed George Floyd. The most dangerous threat to black folks in America is other black folks. Or to put that in ebonics, niggas be trippin'. They don't think it be like it is, but it do.
The crowd didn't kill Floyd. His drug dealer sold him Fentanyl and told him it was meth. Floyd then ate the entire thing when stopped by police. That was it for him. If he'd immediately complied and told officers he needed urgent medical care he MIGHT have been able to be saved, but even then he was likely a goner. There's very little modern medicine can do to save someone who ingested multiple fatal doses of fentanyl.
I think your statement should be corrected to say that "the most dangerous threat to black folks in America is themselves," because they make retarded decisions like eating a ton of unknown drugs and resisting arrest. There's a reason you don't see white people dying in police encounters at the same rates despite being a larger share of the population. Its because whites don't consistently make choices that lead to them dying.
When asked explicitly if any of the video of the event showed Chauvin placing Floyd in a “choke hold” (in this context meaning a respiratory choke but the term has been used with careless disregard for accuracy) Mercil was obliged to answer that it did not.
When asked if a carotid choke, or what MPD would refer to as an “unconscious neck restraint” required both of the carotid arteries to be compressed, Mercil answered that it did. So much for MMA expert Williams’ testimony to the contrary.
Further, when asked how quickly unconsciousness occurred when a carotid choke was placed, Mercil answered “less than 10 seconds.” Clearly, then Floyd was not being subject to a carotid choke for the large majority of the 9 minutes or so Chauvin had his knee in place, and likely never during that period.
I had a Marine buddy of mine put me out like that once. It's real fast, and you don't feel breathless. I think the photo of the paramedic checking Floyd's carotid pulse with Chauvin's knee still in place put the choke story to rest. It's pretty clear the drugs killed him, the real question they're fighting over now is whether the medical assistance was timely (or as timely as practical under the circumstances), or whether (considering the doctor's testimony that Narcan is useless after the heart has stopped) if assistance would even have made any difference at all. Frankly, judging by the level of confusion he was exhibiting prior to the call, and how rapidly he deteriorated over the next twenty minutes, I think the guy was done as soon as he popped that speedball. Another casualty of the new opium war.
He ate multiple fatal doses of fentanyl. You could be laying on the gurney AT THE HOSPITAL and do that and you'd still have a good chance of dying. Guy was dead as soon as he chose to eat those drugs. Considering the damage that followed, that was the most expensive fentanyl this world has ever seen.
China probably manufactured that shit for less than a cent and it caused billions in direct damage and untold damage to our societal fabric. Trump did what he could, but I dearly wish he'd declared China's manufacture of Fentanyl for smuggling into the US an act of war. Because that's what it is.

Thanks, these are good rundowns.
Steven Crowder did a great demonstration of a carotid rear naked choke-hold and how fast you go out.. great vid
