Kanye West continues to create outrage.

The outspoken rapper contended in a new interview that George Floyd died of the drug fentanyl, and not from the actions of the Minnesota police officer who was convicted of his murder.

“They hit him with the fentanyl. If you look, the guy’s knee wasn’t even on his neck like that,” West claimed on Sunday’s episode of the Revolt TV show “Drink Champs.”

West, 45, made the claim after saying he recently attended the premiere of “Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM,” a documentary by conservative commentator Candace Owens.

The ME testified at Chauvin’s trial the the fentanyl content in Floyd’s blood was enough to kill him.

They were greatly encouraged by the big win by the sandy hook folk. Free speech is dead. Murdered by lawyers and a feral government.

Wonder if the ‘discovery’ in a lawsuit like this would benefit the officer that was wrongly accused of that POS’s death?

Kanye may be doing him and his (new) lawyers a big favor!

He had 3 drugs and was severely overdosed on 2. He was a walking dead man when the cops showed up.beczuse the drug was killing him. Before cops even took him into custody he was complaining about not being able to breathe. Copes hadn’t even touched him yet. He was dying. Cops absolutely did the right thing by calling g the ambulance right away. There was nothing more they could have done for him.

It’s just a shame that cops showed up to,the scene as early as they did, as f.oyd most likely woild have died sitting in his car outside the store he just tried to rob with his counterfeit money. The black community turned a drug death into malicious murder by cops, and an innocent man’s life was ruined and the black community doesn’t care one bit! They wanted revenge based ona lie, and the media helped them get it by bear8ng false witness agaisnt Derek.

How can it be grounds for a lawsuit?

The process is the punishment.

I read the toxicology report. Floyd had enough fentanyl in him to kill him IIRC.

George Floyd overdosed prior to his death, no question.

Floyd was one of those rarer instances of the time that the cause of death was not determined to be Covid-19 after having tested positive for it.

well, and also, slander and libel are not applied to the truth. Or put more correctly, the truth cannot be slander or libel.

Yep.

Autopsy showed severe pulmonary edema (from fentanyl) and no neck injury.

The body cam footage that the state AG suppressed proved Chauvin and other officers sought to make GF comfortable in their cruiser, turned on the A/C, etc. GF was complaining that he couldn’t breathe before he started resisting arrest. Chauvin used a restraint maneuver that was approved by the PD, and Chauvin himself was in the training video.

Jones presented his views as a 100% fact, and not just as his opinion.

He says, without evidence.

Along with free speech being dead, you may include equal protection under the law and due process.

People seem to think that “we’ll lose our country” all in one day, like a big explosion.

Truth is, the slow moving decay of death has begun.

You're doing the same thing you say Alex did.

I think it is going to be quite difficult if they try to bring this lawsuit, given the toxicology tests that showed levels of fentanyl in his system that exceeded levels that are considered fatal.

“While one cannot defame the dead, the family of #GeorgeFloyd is considering suit for Kanye’s false statements about the manner of his death,” Merritt tweeted. “Claiming Floyd died from fentanyl not the brutality established criminally and civilly undermines & diminishes the Floyd family’s fight.”


Merrit is an activist ant this was a tweet. Hence the article.
