In this particular incident its surprising that the cops didn't take notice that Floyd had blacked out limp but they kept holding him down on the ground with their knees ??
Seems like they were being distracted by on looking pedestrians shouting at them which took away their focus to what was happening.

Following up on that, if that was the case, shouldn't that be put into consideration involving the penalties which are going to be imposed ?
And wouldn't that be justifiable to charge those citizens with interference and obstruction toward the police while they were actively carrying out their duties ?
Floyd was a drug abuser. He over years weakened his body. He had a huge amount of fentanyl in him. He is portrayed as a good man who loved his family and was ultimately abused by a white police officer and his cronies. Anyone who takes that much fentanyl in their body is potentially in danger of losing his life. As was mentioned he was saying BEFORE the police episode that he couldn’t breathe. Unlawful illegal drugs like he was taking would kill anyone. His toxicology reports tell me that pretty much any breathing problems were exacerbated by his drugs within his body. I don’t think the officer should be found guilty of murder.
This just in ......
George Floyd died of a lack of oxygen from being pinned to the pavement with a knee on his neck, a medical expert testified at former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin’s murder trial on Thursday, rejecting Chauvin’s defence theory that drug use and underlying health problems killed Floyd.
“A healthy person subjected to what Mr Floyd was subjected to, would have died,” said prosecution witness Dr Martin Tobin, a lung and critical care specialist at a veterans hospital and medical school in Chicago.
The question at hand is did the police use dangerous over use of force in subduing G Floyd ?
All indicators that have come forward is that seems to be the case, supported by doctors and even the police chief who those police officers were working under.
What I dont think if fair in this whole event is that those officers being labeled as racist murders .
I would call bullshit on that !
I just read that too. Will the defense have a rebuttal witness to suggest this isn’t the case ?
More information is being presented and evaluated but from this point I would say its not looking too good for the police officers particularly Derick Chauvin
I hope they go easy on him, he got caught in situation that got out of control and I dont think he was completely to blame .

So Crowder has done this twice. Go back a few pages and watch for yourself. If I were the defense, I would bring a demonstration right into the court. Let them see that a healthy man will walk away every time.
Not knowing anything about drugs in his system at the time of the arrest but if he was high on fentanyl he would have not been so alert and aggressive, fentanyl is stronger than heroin.
