This was George Floyd's autopsy report. If not for đ, you'd probably never see this.

I don’t trust anyone anymore. Not even people I consider friends. I’ve seen people whom I thought were friends backstab me when I wasn’t looking or there to defend myself. People suck and life isn’t fair. In all my time on earth, these are the two most important lessons I’ve learned about life and people.
If Saint George Floyd had only followed that advice he would have dies some other way.
Article Title :âGeorge Floyd Biopic âDaddy Changed the Worldâ in the Works With His Daughter Executive Producing â

(From the FR article) :â A family-authorized George Floyd biopic titled âDaddy Changed the Worldâ is in the works from Radar Pictures, 8 Queens Film & Media Productions
and Night Fox Entertainment.
Floydâs daughter, Gianna Floyd, and her mother, Roxie Washington, are involved in the making of the film, serving as executive producers. â
âGregory R. Anderson (âStomp the Yardâ) will write the screenplay for the movie, which will capture the life of the man whose murder in 2020
sparked a global racial reckoning and fueled the movement against police brutality.
The film is still in search for a director.
Ted Field serves as producer for Radar Pictures, alongside Dr. Kaeita Rankin for 8 Queens and Timothy Christian for Night Fox.
âThe 46-year-old Floyd was killed on May 25, 2020, after Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for more than nine minutes
while Floyd was handcuffed and forced to lie face-down on the street.
Floyd was arrested after allegedly attempting to use a counterfeit $20 bill at a store. â
(the article continues..)
But there is an implicit assumption that law enforcement knows what theyâre doing. I donât argue that the force was excessive (for the most part-the hold/move was in place for a while). I argue it was applied incorrectly, or incompetently to be precise.
Consider getting pulled over for speeding. You refuse to hand over your license because you swear you werenât going over 55. The LEO gets emotional and shatters your hand in the process of cuffing you. You happen to be a pianist for a living. You now have no career.
Itâs similar to - but a few steps removed from - a physician botching a procedure on a tough patient, and an electrician crossing wires in an old house,
IMHO the cop is responsible for the wake of his incompetence. Iâm also not a lawyer. YMMV.
That said, this whole saga is a case study in the jar-shakers owning the ants. The left canonized an unrepentant black ex-convict drug user. The right championed incompetence in a white law enforcement officer. You couldnât write a better script for them.
Today, police ranks are thinning (I spoke to a LEO about thisâŚitâs demoralizing but the ones to whom the little DoodleBobs and I thank them for their job are incredibly appreciative). Cities are less safe. Satan laughing, spreads his wings.
However, the ants may be coming back. Some of the leftists in cities are rethinking their position and bad DAs are losing elections. Meanwhile, rightists call the FBI the FIB and are talk about J6 incarcerations in a manner comparable to civil rightists of yesteryear. And rappers are coming to Trump rallies.
Ah Yes. Mr Baker tap-dancing in court.
I’ll stick with the written report.
But thanks for the reply.
I would have tried him for manslaughter. Maybe spend 5 years in prison (it's been almost that long). He should have been tried in Juneau, Alaska.
It appears to me that Chauvin was a "dirty cop". (My opinion)
Iâm sticking with the written report, too. In its entirety.
Not some crank emotional fantasy cherry picking affair.
The problem with the “bad eggs” in the group known as police is that they KILL PEOPLE.
Doesn’t matter if the perp is “bad”, Floyd isn’t accused of doing anything that carries the death penalty.
Chauvin sat on a man and didn’t give a crap while he died. Chauvin is a murderer. Plain and simple.
Once again I will state the obvious: none of this would happen if the cops actually policed themselves. In the examples I gave you EVERY ONE OF THEM was cooperative. And they ALL DIED. So you’re wrong.
And yet here you are excusing murderous cops.
I saw the complete body cam footage from two of the cops at the scene. Floyd was freaking out and saying “I can’t breathe” before anyone even touched him. He was freaking out so bad that they had to restrain him because they weren’t going to let him go after he had just committed a crime. They called an ambulance immediately. I don’t know what else they could have done.
Yeah, I’m not going to play the “what if” game with you either.
Floyd is responsible for his own death. End of story.
We wouldnât be having this discussion if Chauvin was black and Saint George was white, because there would have been no trial and no riots.
I haven’t excused anyone, especially a big guy who was out of control and resisting detainment.
You hate cops, I get that and it’s your right. I don’t but do accept there are bad ones. Yes, police dept’s need to always do a better job of clearing out those that let their ego’s write checks their ass can’t pay for.
I’ll go off-topic here. A good 99% of the world’s problems are due to ego. Not just men either, women too. Ego and a warped sense of driving ambition can cause all kinds of problems. Within that ego problem are bullies. Bullies are insecure punks, regardless of the race, sex, age, or whatever. A cop with an ego problem is not going to be a good cop. A perp with an ego problem is going create problems for themselves by doing things like resisting detainment. Maybe they don’t want to go back to jail due to the warrants out for them or maybe he’s just an ass wanting prove he’s a tough guy. Either way it’s ego. Well, stupidity plays into it too. A smart person isn’t going to resist because they know it will just make the situation worse. A lot of these stops are de-escalated with the person given a ticket to appear in court unless they are causing a problem that must be dealt with. That might mean detainment or getting them the medical help they need. This is where a cop’s job is incredibly difficult. He or she is not a medical professional, a psychiatrist, or a social worker. I’m not sure any of those credentialed people would help in a situation like this anyway. The perp just needs to be detained or arrested if a crime has been committed and it’s obvious the perp is a danger to himself or others. When they resist like this one did, he killed himself. It’s really not a big difference from pointing a gun at a cop or charging a cop with a knife in their hand. The end result is they are going to end up stopped by gun fire and very good chance that will end in the perp’s death. I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase “suicide by cop”. Yeah, this was that.
Yes, a good cop can frequently de-escalate a tense situation but a perp who has no intention of cooperating no matter how much respect he or she is given (without earning it) will always be in danger of getting hurt or worse. That’s all that happened here. If you see more than that then you’re the problem too.
Yes you have excused them. By spreading the lie that compliance makes everything OK you are excusing them.
I don’t hate cops. I hate murderers. And people who excuse murder. We CANNOT “accept” bad cops. They literally have the power of life and death over citizens. We HAVE to hold cops to a higher standard. Bad cops must be pushed out.
This wasn’t suicide by cop. This was MURDER by cop. You keep excusing murder.
Hit those links I gave you. All those people were complying. Watch the youtube video. That guy was unarmed and complying. And BEGGING the cop not to kill him. He flat out murdered. And you’re excusing it. You are part of the problem.
All that’s happening here is bad people are given authority, do bad things, avoid punishment, and then sick sad people like you give them a raft of excuses. YOU ARE THE PROBLEM. YOU ENABLE MURDER.
All that matters is a thug has been canonized to be a saint when he was the criminal. You go all the way to the far end of the extremes by saying he was murdered. He killed himself. That could not be more plain and obvious.
You’re the one talking like a Marxist. Hurray for the oppressors.
ALL the instances matter. Every single time a cop kills somebody IT MATTERS. Every single time you run in terror from the FACTS it matters. You are afraid of the truth of the situation. That could not be more plain and obvious.
You’re just being obtuse and evasive.
I’ll give you this one thing and then I’m dropping this wast of time with you. Bad cops do need to lose their jobs.
No I’m the one providing facts and logic
You’re the one saying people should comply or die, you’re the one excusing murder, and you’re evading facts and obtusely fleeing from the bigger picture.
You did get one thing right. You are indeed a complete waste of time.
