ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Dozens of people gathered in front of the Minnesota governor’s mansion on Saturday to demand accountability for police officers, days before a former Minneapolis officer is scheduled to go on trial in the death of George Floyd.

“Lots of time for this spin completely out of control.”

There’s no need to fear. Joe Biden is here.

The suburbs weren’t safe last summer. I’m a half hour south of downtown and the local county court branch, which is a couple of minutes from me was fire bombed.

I have seen 100s of opiate overdoses. They are never combative and agitated. I have seen 100s of heart attacks. Complaining of sudden shortness of breath is a hallmark sign of a heart attack. It's as common as chest pain.

The person experiencing an opiate OD doesn't complain about difficulty breathing-they just stop breathing and responding and then they get dumped off at the ER.

Everyone sees that there was fentanyl in his system and they latch onto that because it's easily understood and certainly suspicious but there's no way he was overdosing on fentanyl in the back of the squad car.

My theory: he had a confirmed 90% occlusion of his Right Coronary Artery. That's a near total occlusion of a major coronary artery. It was patent enough to oxygenate his heart when it was beating 70-80 bpm but when he started freaking out, his heart rate was certainly well above that and, as such, the heart required more oxygen than that RCA could provide so he had a slowly developing type II myocardial infarction that likely progressed to a lethal arrhythmia which was unresponsive to defibrillation by the time he got to the ER.

Black people see the knee on the neck. White people see the fentanyl in his toxicology screen. An ER nurse trained to spot heart attacks sees the heart attack.

Black agitators see EVERYTHING as “unarmed black killed by white.” Doesn’t matter if the thug was shooting at the cops, attacking the cops, stabbing the cops, trying to run over cops, assaulting cops. etc etc etc.

Why aren’t they charging his fentanyl dealer, the illegal alien who brought the drug over the border, and the guy in the ChiCom lab who made it?

And Derek Chauvin is innocent AF but the mob is going to demand his head on a pike or else and so justice will be perverted to appease the angry mob.

The heart attack was brought on by the drug overdose.

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

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

Have you ever seen a fentanyl overdose?

This is EXACTLY what a fentanyl/Opiate overdose looks like.

This is NOTHING like what a fentanyl/opiate Overdose looks like.

People who think he was overdosing on fentanyl are clueless.

What about the assload of fentanyl discovered in his system in postmortem? Even the M.E. listed it as a contributing factor.

11 ng/ml may be a fatal dose for some but not for others with an opiate tolerance and the fact remains, he was not behaving like a person experiencing a fentanyl overdose and the medical examiner is quoted as saying: "I am not saying this killed him."

This is not what a fentanyl overdose looks like.

Proving that he had a fentanyl overdose beyond a reasonable doubt will be nearly impossible. That just isn't what a fentanyl overdose looks like. That is very much like what a heart attack looks like though and Floyd had major risk factors for a heart attack.

There was no evidence of traumatic asphyxiation or strangulation or neck trauma. In a fentanyl overdose, there is no period of agitation preceding the unresponsiveness but it makes sense in the context of a type 2 myocardial infarction. His nearly completely occluded right coronary artery was unable to meet the heart's increased oxygen demand when he started panicking and so he developed a oxygen demand/supply type heart attack that progressed to a lethal arrhythmia and death. he had multiple other coronary arteries that were 75% blocked. His heart just couldn't handle sustained 150+ beats/minute.
