#1 Fatal level of fentanyl? It does make any difference to the Antifa/BLM rioters, they a political agenda bought and paid for.

#2 Fentanyl is fine. Bubble gum would have been fine as well. Hat tip to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner.

#3 Well, let's just wait four months to release that info, coupled with the three months or so for that "leaked" video to appear of Floyd's arrest.

Lucky you got the MSM to make sure few Americans know what happened.

#5 The playbook for modern police:
1. Don't trust your superiors to protect you. They are just as likely to throw you under the bus for political reasons. This includes police superiors, unions, and prosecuting attorneys.
2. Cameras are everywhere so always behave as if you are on camera. Be aware of appearances as much as anything else because you will be judged by the worst possible case of what appears to be happening.
3. Deaths happen and if in someone dies in your custody you WILL be blamed for that death. Be ready for that and do your best to make sure nobody dies. Better if the footage shows you trying to save George Will while paramedics race to the scene than have your knee on his neck.
4. Release your own body cam footage as soon as possible. At least get the truth out there. If your superiors don't release the footage you are going to be the scapegoat, go on cable news and demand the footage be released.

#6 Sat on the truth for four months

Then when the medical examiner story finally came out, the ~~media~~ Woke Ministry of Truth spiked it. And flooded the zone with their usual cascade of blatant night-is-day agitprop lies:

Violence is peace, insurrection is love, racist extortion scenes are antiracism left-wing anarchists are "white supremacists," a fentanyl overdose is extrajudicial killing by systemically-racist police

#7 I wonder what would have been any different if the cops had just let George Floyd sit his own vehicle until an ambulance arrived? The EMTs would not have extracted him from the vehicle and just observing him sitting in the car would not have told them anything? If he wouldn't get out of the car for the cops, who thinks he would let the EMTs put a BP cuff or stethoscope on him, let alone an EKG rig?

In the end, they'd be stuck surrounding the vehicle until he needed to use the can or eat. What would be the play then?

Call it what it is, a no-win situation for the cops / EMTs and no cutsie Kobayashi Maru maneuver to game the test.

Sorry about that, it was early this a.m.

#9 If Antifa/BLM types are rioting now over Derek Chavin posting bail, wait until he's acquitted of all charges.

#10 The fun part will be watching the Minneapolis prosecutors make fools of themselves in court.

#11 Oops! Sorry trashed and burned out businesses. But you are still racist capitalists.

#12 In the end, they'd be stuck surrounding the vehicle until he needed to use the can or eat. What would be the play then?

I read somewhere that an OD on fentanyl usually involves fluid flooding the lungs, essentially drowning (not strangled or panic attack). Hence, not being able to breath even when he was in the car.

I can't properly endorse that idea as the particulars of a fentanyl OD is outside my personal guarantee, just that if it doesn't destroy the lungs first, it destroys the heart.

So I guess they would have stared at him until he lost consciousness long enough to respond, which it had already been too late before losing consciousness.

The agitators would have had to decide if a video could be made damning the police enough. Make the lead, "Watch as police point, laugh at middle age African American shopper succumbing to hot box vehicle treatment."
