Judge lifts gag order against officers in Floyd case
The Hill ^ | 07 21 2020 | Justin Wise

Posted on 07/21/2020 8:04:13 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

A Minnesota judge on Tuesday lifted a gag order that restricted comments from attorneys and others associated with the criminal case concerning the four former Minneapolis police officers involved in the death of George Floyd.

Hennepin County District Judge Peter Cahill vacated the order after the move was met with pushback from a coalition of news organizations and attorneys representing the former officers, The Associated Press reported. In making the decision, Cahill said that he agreed with the argument from defense attorneys that a gag order would unfairly prevent their clients from addressing negative press reports.

"The gag order didn't work," Cahill said, according to The Minneapolis Star Tribune. "If anything it may have exacerbated the issue."

Cahill, however, did not rule on motions requesting the public release of body-camera footage from the arrest of Floyd, the Star Tribune noted.

The videos are only available to the public by appointment, which media organizations claim violates state law on access to public records. Multiple news outlets detailed what the body-cam footage showed last week after being granted access to it.

Since the jury pool is permanently polluted, the defendants must be acquitted.

This whole thing was a set up

they didn’t mean to kill George

Causapin who knew George put the knee on the neck for all that time and they knew they were getting filmed. - that was the purpose of the event

he was supposed to be screaming for Mommy and saying he couldn’t breathe.

he only died because he had four times the lethal dose of drugs in his system

He was NOT suffocated. Fentayl. Suffocates you

The thing that triggered these riots was the MSM reporting of the Floyd demise and spiking the facts behind his condition at the time. Because of that getting those facts out are desperately needed

Why not print this up and pass around in your precinct

The democrat controlled media racist killing reporting was a deliberate miss portraying of the six foot seven inch 200 plus pound Floyd as an innocent black who was being forceably restrained because he was black not because he was resisting arrest.When He was legitimately arrested for passing a counterfeit $20 dollar bill he was resisting arrest and was a threat if not secured. But the media was not mentioning his size or reporting that Floyd was removed from a squad car because he was acting up under the influence of drugs and also later was discovered to have COVID 19. Which suggests his physical condition may have led to his death which the media turned into a murder change and a charge of serious abuse by police because of police efforts that were tried to get him who under control.

If Obama had urged blacks to believe in the justice system and comply with the police would we be confronting his use of creating racial division now ?
The results of politically induced miss reporting incidents where blacks have resisted legitimate arrest began to be used earlier during and after the post Zimmmerman trial, then on to the Ferguson episode. Obama’s abuse of the “Bully Pulpit” which seemed to promote resistance to legitimate arrest led to black gangs attacking non blacks found innocently traversing black neighborhoods and to a score of murders or life changing injuries and later attacks of theft and vandalism on local businesses as well as attacks and murders of police officers during that period

Just like the noted case in Baltimore, where I believe six cops were charged with murder, all of them were judged not guilty. Sadly, George Floyd killed himself with a serious drug overdose. These four Minneapolis cops will be found not guilty!!! The facts & truth will surface, but the nation suffered dearly from the Media outcome reporting & Democrat Party “Fake News”!!! Sad days for Floyd. Sad days for our beloved nation republic!!!

>> This whole thing was a set up

More accurately, it was opportunism.

The scary part was the readiness of the insurgency to seize the moment.

The autopsy report is here:

https://www.hennepin.us/-/media/hennepinus/residents/public-safety/documents/Autopsy_2020-3700_floyd.pdf

“What is a fatal dose of Fentanyl? The average death dose was 9.96 ng/mL”

I can’t find any evidence for that.

Fentanyl causes death as the result of respiratory depression. While Floyd was conscious it wouldn’t have been a factor, but once he was unconscious Fentanyl may have contributed to his death. Also, Floyd had sickle cell trait which could have been a major factor in his death as well as his blocked coronary arteries.

Why does this seem to me that the case is in serious trouble and they are relaxing the gag order so that people can see that the case isn’t going anywhere?

“The range of fentanyl levels was wide, from 0.75 to 113 ng/mL, with an average of 9.96 ng/mL;”

https://www.sgtreport.com/2020/07/what-is-a-fatal-dose-of-fentanyl/

Don’t forget- the officers were pretty sure he was sufferign from excited delerium- you can hear one officer mentio nthat- and it is likely why they called the ambulance even beofre he was subdued on the ground- Excited delerium happens in peopel who are high on drugs- fentanyl being one of hte major ones that contribute to the death during excited delirium

“And combined with methamphetamine, studies indicate that fentanyl has a higher chance of inducing fatal hyperthermia. And it just so happens that hyperthermia has a direct correlation with excited delirium.”

https://www.headlineoftheday.com/2020/06/04/minneapolis-disaster-fentanyl-methamphetamine-excited-delirium/

“Fentanyl is also unique among the opioids in its ability to cause muscle rigidity of the chest wall, diaphragm, and larynx. Known as “wooden chest syndrome,” it’s safe to say that the combination of this drug is a recipe for heart stoppage.”

From the l ink above
