I thought LEO doesn’t enforce federal laws? Counterfeiting is a federal crime just like illegal immigration. What’s going on?

Floyd was saying “I can’t breathe” because he was having a heart attack as a result of drug overdose combined with physical exertion from resisting arrest. At no point was he actually unable to breathe.

I imagine if you try to pass a counterfeit bill at a local Quickie Mart, it will be local cops who will come to arrest you. The funny money will end up with the Secret Service which will investigate how you came by it. If it was passed to you, you are out the value of the bill. If you printed it yourself, you’ll have some explaining to do.

The videos prove he was already dying before they got to him-

He was overdosed on several drugs- not just fentanyl- the amount of drugs in his system was staggering- ESPECIALLY considering that he had two very serious heart conditions which likely was what was killing him when they responded to the scene-

Note the extensive heart disease that Floyd had:

II. Natural diseases

A. Arteriosclerotic heart disease, multifocal, severe

B. Hypertensive heart disease

1. Cardiomegaly (540 g) with mild biventricular

dilatation

2. Clinical history of hypertension

Note the finding of No life-threatening injuries:

III. No life-threatening injuries identified

A. No facial, oral mucosal, or conjunctival petechiae

B. No injuries of anterior muscles of neck or laryngeal

structures

C. No scalp soft tissue, skull, or brain injuries

D. No chest wall soft tissue injuries, rib fractures (other

than a single rib fracture from CPR), vertebral column

injuries, or visceral injuries

Notice the fatal dose of the opioid fentanyl in the toxicology report:

VI. Toxicology (see attached report for full details; testing

performed on antemortem blood specimens collected 5/25/20 at

9:00 p.m. at HHC and on postmortem urine)

A. Blood drug and novel psychoactive substances screens:

1. Fentanyl 11 ng/mL

2. Norfentanyl 5.6 ng/mL

3. 4-ANPP 0.65 ng/mL

4. Methamphetamine 19 ng/mL

5. 11-Hydroxy Delta-9 THC 1.2 ng/mL;

Delta-9 Carboxy THC 42 ng/mL; Delta-9 THC 2.9 ng/mL

6. Cotinine positive

7. Caffeine positive

[[Floyd was saying “I can’t breathe” because he was having a heart attack as a result of drug overdose combined with physical exertion from resisting arrest.]]

Possibly (see my post above) - but he was complaining he could breathe even before he was ordered to get out of his own car-

(He complained about how he was ‘claustrophobic, and couldn’t get into the police car because of it- but funnily enough george was just fine sitting inside his own car- No wonder the cops were ignoring him- He was just rambling on and on- obviously drugged up- and out of his mind-)

People need to spread the autopsy report more that shows St. George had almost 4 times the lethal level of fentanyl in his body at the time he died.

Note the proper behavior of the passenger in the red hat. Calm and polite. Note how he was treated properly. And the passenger was just as black as Floyd.

One was resisting arrest. One was not. One is alive today. One is not.

And I don’t really trust that both passengers were in the car just to get a ride. Who would want to ride with Floyd driving in that condition. I suspect the passengers knew a lot more than they admitted to.

What is an unemployed bouncer doing driving a late-model black Mercedes SUV? I’m sure the alarm, bills were ringing for a lot of reasons for those officers. Yeah they were doing a lot more for a living than just passing a bad bill. But as Heisenberg used to say, you should never be consuming your own products.

To bad LEO refuses to cooperate with the Feds on everything.

Imagine if an illegal alien passed the fake bill. LEO would be confused because they don't cooperate with ICE.

“they acted completely appropriately.”

I believe Chauvin had his knee on the neck too long. At one point in the video Officer Lane said he was unresponsive.

Wooden chest syndrome caused by fentanyl OD. Unlike a regular opioid OD where you pass out BEFORE you stop breathing.

I noticed that too—he’s only claustrophobic in police cars, not his own. Regardless, he was clearly breathing (heavily) the whole time he was saying “I can’t breathe”, before and after the cops had him on the ground. Makes the whole BLM narrative an outright lie, just like the “Hands up, don’t shoot” thing with Mike Brown.

Yep precisely- that”S exactly what this is- you have idiots looting stores while yelling “I can’t Breathe” as though george saying that justifies their criminal activities now- it’s the new ‘Hands up don’t shoot’ crap-

Like you mentioned George was saying that the WHOLE TIme- even when he was sitting in his own car before he even got arrested-

He was in the process of dying at that point- Was it from heart attack? Maybe- From drug overdose? Very likely- From knee on neck? Absolutely not- He wasn’t even on the ground complaining of not breathing at that point- He was complaining several minutes Before he was taken to the ground-

My personal opinion is this is exactly what happened- As he was complaining of not begin able to breath for many minutes before he was even taken to the ground- IF he was having a heart attack, I think- (But don’t know for sure) that it would have happened quicker- So in my unlearned opinion, it was likely the drugs that was causing his breathing difficulty, and he passed out before he actually and factually did stop breathing for real-

If you watch the video of him on the ground- talking very clearly and distinctly- you can tell his airway was Not restricted in any way- and you can clearly hear and see him taking breaths while he is talking for over 6 minutes- The officer was Not constricting his breathe at all- George woudl in no way have been able to speak clearly and without distortion to his voice IF his airway was restricted to the point of shutting off his breathing ability to the point of death-

sorry I meant to say- not sure if it was Wooden chest syndrome or not- mighta been, but I think it mighta been from excited delerium:

“Excited delirium is characterized by agitation, aggression, acute distress and sudden death, often in the pre-hospital care setting.”

because He was clearly breathing for over 6 minutes- you could hear him and see him physically breathing just fine- but in an excited state- almost hyperventilating- and he was clearly talking like he was in an agitated state- He is breathing fine- talking fine (but agitatedly), then he passes out and dies- He stops talking, stops moving his head around (Which is another reason why you could tell his airway wasn’t shut off- He was able to move head and adjust his position- if his neck was pinned in such a way that he couldn’t breathe- the force would have been so strong he couldn’t move his head- if you watch the video- George was moving his head- adjusting position)

Whatever he did of, it wasn’t from neck compression- could have been heart failure, drug overdose, Excited delirium or wooden chest syndrome- but from watchign the video several times- it is fairly clear George was breathing and talking just fine right up until he died-

watch and listen to this video of officer’s video cam- He’s breathing just fine all through the whole incident- and was screaming about not being able to breath when he was in the police car before he was taken out, and restrained- He clearly starts hyperventilating- like he’s either high on drugs, or having a panic attack, or maybe even both- If you’ve ever seen people having panic attacks, or people so high on drugs that they are delirious and panicking, you will know they complain about not being able to breathe- even though they are breathing just fine-

You can clearly hear him taking full breaths, and then exhaling them- shouting, then taking a breath in, shouting again, then exhaling- over and over- all the while complaining about how he ‘can’t breathe’

Especially watch from the 10 minute mark on- they suspected he was on pcp or some other drugs- and noted his eyes ‘shaking’, which is a sign apparently of certain drugs- all the while he’s saying he can’t breathe, you can clearly hear him breathing- while Chauvin was restraining his head and back- and then he just goes out of it-

This video was the clearest that you could hear him breathing- (The video of the observer pedestrian, you couldn’t hear much over the dudes constant ridiculing of the police) right up to the point he passes out- suddenly, not over time-

He sounds like he hyperventilated- and listenign to him he sounds delirious- hopped up on drugs- bad- caused by the agitation caused by the drugs- Again- he breathes right up until he passes out- the airways were not restricted at any point- 2 cops in the video says after he’s passed out “He’s breathing”- so he was still breathing even after passing out - The cop holding the head down was not responsible for him not breathing because clearly he was still breathing and had been breathing right along - Something else killed George at this point- not the inability to breathe

Just because a person passes out doesn’t mean they are no longer a possible threat- The officer’s job was to hold him down until paramedics got there- Had he let up- and all of a sudden the dude regains consciousness, and overpowers the police, the officer could have been held accountable IF the perp hurt bystanders in his struggling-

Yes the video from the street dude ‘looked bad’ but videos can be, and often are, quite deceiving- and until all the evidence is presented- we should not jump to conclusions- as this case clearly demonstrates- This new video makes it very clear George was breathing, even when he passed out- as evidenced by two of the officers that noted him still breathing- before George died of whatever he died of- likely a heart attack or excited delirium- (See my previous post on that cause- )

Doesn’t the newest video have him resisting into squad car due to “claustrophobia”, but never complained of such in his own vehicle??

I believe that is the function of that move. And the autopsy said it was not the cause of death.
