This is the only evidence I need to show people I’ve been using this clip for months to prove he overdosed on fentanyl. Those sweaty hands absorbed way more than enough fentanyl to kill him just by handling that bag like that would weigh at least 3.5 grams or 3500mg a lethal dose of fentanyl is 2mg-3.5mg so he was handling 1000x yes ONE THOUSAND TIMES the LETHAL DOSE

I read his entire autopsy report, and he did have fentanyl in his system but not enough to kill on its own (in this context)

It was likely a contributing factor though. This physician breaks down the pharmacology of it pretty well. You might not agree with his final conclusion, but it's a good watch.

Nice try! Blood concentrations of approximately 7 ng/ml of fentanyl or greater have been associated with fatalities where poly-substance use was involved. His blood concentration level was 11ng/ml with a poly-substance use Meth at a blood concentration level of 19ng/ml. How much do they pay you?

Having a different opinion for a primary cause of death doesn't make me paid. The video I linked you to straight up concedes that those levels can be fatal, so I'm not sure we even have much disagreement here except perhaps how much liability the cop has. A fenanyl fatality is caused by reduced respiratory drive - seen it multiple times first hand, but his presentation didn't match in this case. He didn't have a low drive to breathe until physically exhausted after being placed in that position for an extended period of time, of which he begged them to help because he was struggling to breathe. Fentanyl does the opposite of that, depressing your drive to breathe. As I previously stated, drugs were a contributing factor but not the only one. His underlying shitty health also played a role along with the extended restraint in that position. I honestly don't even know how much blame the cop deserves, but it's not zero. I would have even given him a pass if it weren't for the extended pleas from Floyd as well as onlookers alerting him to the change in condition and begging him to check his pulse. He ignored it all.

Personally I don't care as much about his drug habit as I do about the fact that he held a gun to a pregnant woman.

I can forgive someone for getting hooked on addictive substances because we are all fallible humans with weakness. He chose to put a woman and child's life in danger for selfish, irrational readons and that's disgusting. Much harder to forgive.

He dropped his pipe right before that, as he slid down the wall - get a high res version and check it out.

They're garbage because they were raised really poorly. It's not their fault.
