While I agree that murder is a likely overcharge, this article IMHO is BS. The County ME releasing a toxicology report in 24 hours alleging Floyd was high on fentyl is suspect. Forensic toxicology reports take days if not weeks to process. The videos make it rather clear Floyds airway was being obstructed...I have 20 years of experience in prehospital emergency care so that seemed obvious to me. If these chockhold techniques were Minneapolis PD policy that is an indication that better policies are needed. Sorry this sadistic asshole cop deserves prison time for his actions.
No it doesn't. Unless his windpipe is located on the side of his neck, which it ain't.
