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.
Yep. Seen the footage of the prior arrest?
Pretty much the same presentation.
