ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — George Floyd died because his breathing was restricted as he was restrained while handcuffed and facedown, a lung expert testified Monday at the federal trial of three former Minneapolis police officers charged with violating Floyd’s civil rights.
Dr. David Systrom, a pulmonologist and critical care physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, said Floyd’s upper airway was compressed by Officer Derek Chauvin’s knee, while his position on the hard asphalt with his hands cuffed behind his back did not allow his lungs to expand, cutting off the flow of oxygen.
“Oxygen delivered to the heart and brain is critical to survival,” Systrom said.

Thank God he’s here to tell us these things.
Fentanyl will do that to a fella...
Hasn’t this been examined enough? It doesn’t matter what this guy says…the fires are out, the cop is in prison, and the BLM money is gone.
Who cares? He was a cancer in society and the world is a much better place without such scum.
Didn’t another doctor say Floyd was giving bad haircuts and that’s why he died?
“the fires are out,”
Nope. Federal charges
Just one question...
How many times did he say “I can’t breathe!” BEFORE Officer Derek Chauvin arrived on the scene?
We’ll never know for sure.
Had nothing to do with the fentanyl he shoved up his Obama.
To this day I still do not know why they ever let Floyd out of that police car.
I wonder who bribed said “doctor” to pipe up? Someone oughta tell him that both Floyd and the horse are dead....
Wow, that's some real noteworthy medical insight there. What education/comprehension level is this "news" aimed at?
Only took them just shy of two years to find an "expert" willing to overlook the massive amount of drugs in his system and confidently peg cause of death on something else. Some "expert."
It’s true. His breathing was restricted. Fentanyl will do that.
BUT-—FLOYD COULD breathe well enough to KEEP COMPLAINING:
“I CAN’T BREATHE”.....
SO—MR EXPERT-—WHICH IS CORRECT????
How about an :”EXPERT” testify on the effects of Fentynal???
There is a time coming when they will return the favor and say the exact same about you. This thread was to fish for and promote ignorance. And it looks like it worked.
Don’t feed the beast or it will just get bigger and stronger and in turn eat you next.
Gee. He said it enough times to show he was getting plenty of air into his lungs to say it over and over again.
But you already know that, right?
Right?
Does this include when he was SITTING in the police car yelling he could not breathe?
OK, let’s all go riot like it 2020!
