I would hope that most people here realize that Floyd died by his own hands by now... He swallowed some kind of drugs that he had on him at the time so the cops wouldn't find it. He died 90 minutes after that video was filmed. Even if the cop didn't have his knee on his neck, he would've died.

Thought you guys were smart and cared about the truth, guess not... fine, be outraged for no reason like the retards on the left.

If you can't view the PDF, here is a screenshot of the section in question, it is on the third page. This document makes it sound like the officer is guilty but that is because this is their complaint against him.

Source? C'mon. You can't just say that without sharing it.

I wouldn't be so quick to judge the downvotes you're getting are from regulars, or maybe it's people don't think it's fair to say he died by his own hand. Either way, your link to the complaint is legit and gets an up from me. Thanks!

You are welcome. This part is my opinion, I also don't think the officer put that much pressure on his neck. If you look at the video, the officer looks like he is putting most, if not all, of the pressure on his right knee. The knee not on his neck.

It's possible but source?

Thanks. It says he likely died from a combination of health problems, drugs, and the cops on top of him. They didn't choke him but they could have cut off blood circulation to his head. And he stopped moving and they couldn't find a pulse but yet they stayed on top of him for 2 or 3 more minutes. The cops still fucked up.

That’s not an answer. Source or GTFO

The combined effects of Mr. Floyd being restrained by the police, his underlying health conditions and any potential intoxicants in his system likely contributed to his death.

He wasn't being choked (that was obvious from the video) but kneeling on the neck could have cut off blood flow to his head. And why didn't they get off him after he stopped moving and breathing?

Your links do not show he swallowed drugs to hide it from the police. The examiner's initial finding say potentially intoxicating substances but do not prove he was under the influence of anything.

Additionally the other officer was concerned about asphyxiation and they found no pulse two minutes before relieving the knee from his neck.

If you have other corroborating information please share.

This was the complaint from the family against him, of course it wouldn't include that. This is just the most official thing I could find, I'll look and see if I can find anything else though.

I am not following this story, so I don't know the facts. Has this been verified? Has an autopsy been done yet?

No not yet. The 911 call mentioned that Floyd was out of it, and the caller suggested that he might be drunk or something. Could be either but we don't know yet.

Aha sorry have to update you now. Autopsy’s been done, and the preliminary report is out.

Neither strangulation nor asphyxiation caused his death. He may have been intoxicated, but the full report is not out yet.

The document you linked to says that "any potential intoxicants in his system" may have contributed to his death. It does not say they found intoxicants in his system. Why aren't they specific about what they found? It should be easy to determine whether he had anything in his blood or not.

Also, it doesn't say he died 90 minutes later. It says they checked his pulse on the scene when he stopped moving and "couldn't find one." It also says he was "pronounced dead" at the hospital they took him to, not that he died there.

The toxicology report hasn't been released and I'm honestly not sure if it ever will be released. The city is clearly on the side of the family. As for why it doesn't say, this is the official complaint against the officer from the family.

"Police called EMTs around 8:30 p.m. and they arrived in six minutes to find an unconscious and unresponsive Floyd, according to Hennepin County Healthcare EMS Chief Marty Scheerer. Paramedics and police eventually flipped Floyd over while he was still cuffed, placed him on a gurney and into an ambulance, where a responder released his hands. Their decision to “load and go,” rather than triage Floyd on the spot, was likely based on their race against time, Scheerer said, adding that responders were likely unaware of how severe the situation had become. Despite medical officials reportedly spending an hour trying to revive Floyd, he was pronounced dead at a local hospital at 9:25 p.m."

Why aren't they specific about what they found?

Toxicology reports take longer than autopsies. I'm sure we'll know soon.
