Not necessarily. "Killed" takes an agent argument, meaning that something or someone was the cause of the death. In the case of an OD, you can say the drugs killed, the person who made the drugs killed, the person who sold the drugs killed, etc.
The police did contribute to his death, at no fault of their own. They could have possibly done something to save him maybe if they magically knew everything... but they did contribute to Floyd's death.
I agree, until the jury decides the officers fate I believe that Flyod played just as much of a role in his own death if not more than the cop did. Could be completely ruled due to the overdose too. Then again the cop might be guilty of excessive force but proving more than that in a court of law, with that video, and those toxicology/health reports.... Good luck.
"killed" Correct me if I'm wrong, but an OD isn't generally regarded as "killed" unless it can be determined as intentional.
Then again, in his situation and state of mind, who knows, maybe Floyd wanted to OD cause he didn't want to face justice.
Also known as the "Seth Rich" treatment.
do you have evidence of this?
Source?
Can you source that? Thats a new one for me
