Dunno if it was fake news but on the internet you can find:

-a longer video of the Floyd arrest showing him evading arrest (implying need to restrain him), and him intentionally collapsing to the ground while evading(implying you could suspect him faking collapse)

-a transcript of the incident in which Floyd is claiming he can't breathe well before he was even put in a chokehold (which obviously undermined the perceived urgency of his continued protests during the chokehold), as well as many apparently delirious random comments suggesting drug use (hence the police call for medical backup)

-a toxicology report indicating Floyd's blood concentration had a significant concentration and mix of narcotics, that a completely separate web search confirms can be deadly

There are many other dubious aspects such as why would a longtime veteran cop suddenly decide to kill the black guy in front of a large audience,why would it take so long to choke him,why is Floyd even talking instead of making choking noises,the dubious past history of the guy paid by the family to do the 2nd coroners report,etc.

I was one of those people who scoffed at Fox news, but I haven't seen ANY actual "journalism" being done in this case, by all the big shot media stars.

The Minneapolis Police Department squad car has been in storage at the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension garage pending this trial. One day a couple months ago, Nelson, along with the other defense attorneys and some staff members, went there to look over the car.

Inside, Nelson said they spotted some chewed up pills and a full pill. And the state tested them.

"They are in fact methamphetamine and fentanyl, and they contain the DNA of George Floyd," Nelson said.

The implication is that the drugs were in Floyd's mouth, and he spit them out when the former officers were trying to place him in the police car.

The state has given no explanation how the BCA could have missed that potential evidence.

I verified that kare11 news is a blue-checkmarked media outlet in Minneapolis.

So that means it was OK to kill him.

It doesn't "mean" anything Nema, surely you must know how rude it is to suggest that is my thought process. it lends credence to the hypothesis of excited delirium / overdose as cause of death.

The court will sort it all out. It will be fun to watch.

Tox proved he overdosed on fentanyl. Cry more.

Great! I bet the whole choking him thing was just for giggles.

it means he died of drugs, not external asphyxiation

Wonderful. Tell the judge that and it will all be cleared up!

I hope you Americans living in towns and cities have started boarding up your houses.

The degenerates that call themselves BLM and Antifa essentially only exist in big cities. If they show up in mid to small towns you can safely bet they arrived there by bus, paid for by the Democrat party.
