Exactly.
Knowing no other details of the case, you can be sure of two things: 1) Floyd had a helluva lot more than twenty bucks worth of drugs on him and / or in him; 2) he sure as hell did not pay for those drugs with counterfeit money, else he would have been a dead man before he ever got out on the street.
Floyd and Chauvin both used to work together at a night club with a suspicious history that suggests it may be tied to money laundering and counterfeiting. My theory was that Chauvin was sent to silence Floyd because his attempt to pass a counterfeit $20 bill would have led to questions after he was arrested and that Floyd might have talked about the operation and gotten them all in shit. But who fucking knows anymore.
I'm willing to buy the Chauvin is a dirty cop angle. But I don't think he killed Floyd. I'm apt to believe it was a legitimate overdose since reading the transcript.
I agree. I had that theory in the first 3-5 days after the incident. We have learned more now. People have tried to argue that Floyd, as a drug addict, would have had tolerance to Fentanyl and thus hooping should not have killed him, but that's because they don't understand that while your tolerance to the pain relief and euphoria of opiates develops quickly, your tolerance to their respiratory depression effects develops very slowly and never catches up.
Yeah, I'm not sure on that either. But it's hard to understand why Chauvin restrained George on the ground basically until he died, despite his obvious distress and pleas by members of the public to let him up and help him. We now know George did not die of blood loss to the brain, but a massive fentanyl overdose causing respiratory depression which began occurring before the police even arrived. We also know George told the police he was hooping so they had reason to believe he may have been exposed to drugs inside his rectum (and it's very common for persons under arrest to swallow smuggled drugs when the police approach, which can produce a similar result as what happened to Floyd). So perhaps Derek didn't KILL George, but he certainly did not render first aid or attempt to determine if George was having a heart attack, panic attack, drug overdose, allergic reaction, or any other kind of situation requiring medical aid. He just... kneeled.
Indeed. He was also the last one on the scene and Ellison's inappropriate guarding of the bodycam videos proves the old adage that you don't hide something if there's nothing to hide. The paramedics that showed up were clearly not paramedics and performed absolutely no life-saving or diagnostic work on George before chucking him in the back of an ambulance like a side of beef. Before George is even on the ground, he complains he can't breathe, calls for his mommy, and asks that others tell his kids that he loves them. He knows he's going to die well before there are any attempt by the police to arrest him and his friends don't know what the fuck is up with his freakout, the best they can say is "he got shot once?"
That’s why they won’t release the video. It took him eight minutes to dig the stash back out with the tip of his baton ;(
