#1 Simple. George Floyd OD-ed himself. End of story. The idiot cop might have, should have known he was dying. Now I just don't care.

Same Floyd? Supposedly not. Might as well be..

#2 Floyd was just a convenient excuse. If it hadn't been him it would have been the next [appropriately colored] thug who fatally botched being arrested.

#5 Similar to deaths from alcohol enemas that some frat guys have tried at times; a dangerous practice. Alcohol enemas.

#6 I'm wondering what took them so long to release the cops body cam footage. it's like Kieth Ellison wanted the riots.

#7 Drugs, sure.
Any boot that's been choked out during H2H knows what can happen in a tussle.

#8 M. Murcek's deep dive article at #3 is also very good.

It would seem that if the cops are to blame for anything it is failure to recognize Floyd's symptoms soon enough to call for emergency medical aid at the outset of the encounter. But cops are not doctors. It would also seem that Floyd was going to die that day no matter what the cops did.

The problem now is that if and when the cops are acquitted, riots will almost certainly follow. Mainstream media types and reckless Democrat politicians will demand it. So be it. They can turn their own neighborhoods into burned out ghost towns but they better not come to mine.

BLM people say they want justice but lynching those cops because George Floyd overdosed himself is not justice.

Real justice would involve putting a stop to the flow of fentanyl and other poisons into our country. It seems reasonable to ask if politicians who oppose Trump's border wall have a vested interest in the continued flow of poison.

#9 They seemed to understand he needed an ambulance and one had been called. This was before all the trouble started. Now, antifa "medics" and BLM "activists" would probably have prevented an ambulance from getting there anyway or EMTs getting near him if they did. If they had it to do over, I'm sure they would have blocked his vehicle in and said "you ar3en't fit to drive, just sit there and wait for the ambulance."

BTW, the SUV was a Mercedes according to reports. Whose vehicle was that and why was Floyd in the driver's seat?
