Then he needs to get the same sentence.
He should be working still. He did his job.
I repeat; I sincerely hope that you get to have first hand experience with a George Floyd and that the police will have been refunded and gone. It is what you deserve.
1. Fentanyl 11 ng/mL
He is appealing.
Nonsense.
From the CDC
therapeutic range for analgesia = 0.6–3.0 ng/mL. Blood concentrations of approximately 7 ng/ml or greater are generally associated with fatalities
George Floyd at 11 ng/ml in his blood
FREE DEREK CHAUVIN !
President can only pardon federal, I think.
“Also, one of the officers stated he heard Floyd snoring.”

“As someone approaches death, their body begins to exhibit symptoms. The breathing patterns change and can create a rattling sound. This sound is known as the death rattle, and it is a part of the dying process.
The rattle can occur when a dying person is no longer be able to swallow, cough, or otherwise clear saliva and mucus from the back of the throat, and because secretions in the respiratory tract may be increased.
The sound varies. It may be a crackling, wet noise that is amplified as the person breathes. In other cases, it may sound like a soft moaning with each breath, or a very loud gurgling or snoring.”
“Chauvin hastened the death”.
He used the department’s approved technique. I hope he’s freed soon.
Won’t there be Federal charges?
I think that he may have just plead guilty to something. Maybe fed charges.
Federal and State penalties will run concurrently. (Yes, there are Federal charges).
If pardoned by Biden, the streets will burn.
Doh!
Put in photo of Homer Simpson, here.
I think this article is about federal charges, though, they don’t specifically say that.
These are federal charges.
He was convicted of state charges a year ago.
I don’t think that we’ll have to worry about xiden pardoning him.
The department policy, in place for at least eight years at the time, divided permissible neck restraints into two categories, according to court filings and testimony Monday by the city police chief, Medaria Arradondo. Neck restraints were defined in the policy as a “non-deadly force option.”
One, called a “conscious neck restraint,” was for light pressure applied to the neck to help control a person without rendering unconsciousness. It was permitted for a person actively resisting.
The other was an “unconscious neck restraint,” in which officers could use their arms or legs to knock out a person by pressing carotid arteries on either side of the neck, blocking blood flow to the brain. The policy called for it to be used only for a person “exhibiting active aggression” or actively resisting when lesser attempts to control the person had failed or were likely to fail.
Police guidelines also instructed officers, at the first possible opportunity, to turn people on their sides once they were handcuffed and under control to avoid “positional asphyxia,” in which breathing becomes labored in a prone position and can lead to death.
So, you’re somewhat accurate that it was vaguely approved, however chauvin used it way longer than guidelines.
He was guilty of manslaughter. Floyd didn’t commit a crime worthy of death
Blood tests conducted as part of Floyd’s post-mortem autopsy revealed 11 nanograms per milliliter, or ng/ml, of fentanyl present. According to expert witnesses, this wasn’t enough to be considered fatal
Dr. Daniel Isenschmid, a toxicologist at NMS Labs in Pennsylvania, presented data at trial from more than 2,300 blood samples in fentanyl DUI cases from the last year. He showed that while the average fentanyl blood level was close to 9.6 ng/ml, a quarter of people tested had 11 ng/ml or higher. (Important to note: Blood samples were taken from drivers who tested positive for fentanyl and were alive at the time of collection.)
Isenschmid also showed that Floyd’s blood ratio of fentanyl to norfentanyl, the molecule fentanyl is broken down to once in the body, was lower than the average ratio both for people who died of overdoses and those arrested for DUI who lived.
Overdose victims who die rarely have norfentanyl in their blood, since death often occurs before the body can break the drug down, he said.
Isenschmid’s testimony was supported by pulmonologist and critical care specialist Dr. Martin Tobin of Loyola University Medical Center.
“Mr. Floyd died from a low level of oxygen, and this caused damage to his brain that we see. And it also caused a PEA (pulseless electrical activity) arrhythmia that caused his heart to stop,” he told the court. He explained Floyd’s body position on the street, handcuffs pulling his arms back and a knee on his neck, back and sides, led to his low oxygen levels.
“All of these four forces are ultimately going to result in the low tidal volume, which gives you the shallow breaths” that can’t effectively bring oxygen into the lungs, Tobin said.
He stated because fentanyl typically slows down a person’s breathing, the drug was not a contributing factor based on his calculations of Floyd’s breathing rate based on witness video, which at the time appeared about the same as a healthy individual
True, but he was convicted of unintentional second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter
