Lung expert: Floyd died because his breathing was restricted

Face down? Am I wrong in remembering he was facing sideways, with the side of his neck being knelt on?

[Rurudyne]

He was drowning in his own lungs and would have died if left in the back of the squad car, or even if left in his own car sitting next to the mook that gave him the fentanyl.

They could have laid the guy flat on the ground, never touching him. He would have expired there, without much effort.

They could have laid the guy flat on the ground, never touching him. He would have expired there, without much effort.

But they didn't. And as long as the coroner could show that kneeling on his neck contributed to his death then they had enough to convict all the cops.

This guy is an expert, but...

• "Dr. Systrom, the amount of fentanyl in Big Gorge's blood was 5.6 nanograms per milliliters, is that correct? Now, Dr. Isenschmid attempted to refute the fact that Big Gorge overdosed on a combination of fentanyl and methamphetamine, while admitting that only one-quarter of the 2300 samples that his lab tested in the prior year were the same or higher than Big Gorge, and that statistic was provided for fentanyl overages alone."

• "Dr. Tobin, who was the doctor called at the state criminal trial in the same capacity that you are testifying here, said Big Gorge died "from a low level of oxygen". At what level of oxygen would hypoxemia have killed Big Gorge? Could that level have been reached when Big Gorge stiffened his legs? Or even well before that moment?

• "Do you not admit Big Gorge's drug intoxication played a role? Yes or no. His heart disease? Yes or no. His hypertension? Yes or no. His sickle cell trait? Yes or no. His long history of drug abuse? Yes or no. These were all “substantial causal factors" in Big Gorge's death, were they not, Dr. Systrom?"

1. Did this doc know the deceased?
2. Did this doc participate in the autopsy?
3. Did this doc know that the deceased complained about breathing long before he was on the ground?
4. How did this doc ever get involved with this case considering that he was 1100 miles from the deceased?
5. Does this doc know what fentanyl is?

I’m sure that that was a revelation to the writer and every other genius in that newsroom.

...and the BLM money is gone.

You got that right!

Blasphemy!!!!

Surely you are kidding, and no doubt agree with everyone in the universe that the United States of America be renamed to honor Saint George.

[Tell It Right]

The reason he was hand-cuffed and restrained face-down was because the video shows this very big man violently kicking the police while he was on his back.

[caww]

Exactly...what part of ‘stop resisting’ did he not understand.

[moovova]

Mr.Floyd’s lungs must be getting pretty rank by now.

[PIF]

Floyd died because his breathing was restricted by Fentanyl

[Vermont Lt]

What…are they gonna give the guy life again? LOL

[The MAGA-Deplorian]

Why was he screaming that he couldn’t breathe before being restrained? Personally I think It was COVID that killed him.

[ronniesgal]

AMEN.

[Revel]

He did not even mention the Fentanyl. Even though it was in the coroners report.

So called experts like this should be put on a list of people who can never testify in a court of law.

” the guy”

[TexasGator]

“Face down? “

Where did you see that?
