None of this provides any reason for killing Floyd by having Derek Chauvin put a knee on his neck for 9 minutes. If you can obtain copies of the two Hennepin Medical Examiner autopsy reports (I copied mine before they were pulled from the official site,) you will see that the neck kneeling had no consequence in the death of Mr. Floyd. More to the point, the toxicology of Mr. Floyd's bodily fluids revealed more than 3x a lethal dose of fentanyl (11 ng/mL,) heavy presence of methamphetamine, and sickle cell anemic complications.
Floyd killed Floyd, not Chauvin.
I did. I see the cause of death being
cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restrain, and neck compression. Though it is stated elsewhere that he had "other significant conditions" including "arteriosclerotic and hypertensive heart disease; fentanyl intoxication; [and] recent methamphetamine use", those are not listed as the causes of death.
