(read the coroner's report, his death had nothing to do with the cop kneeling on his neck)

No, you read the fucking coroner's report. There were two autopsies performed, and both concluded that Floyd's death was homicide by aspyhyxiation. One of the reports, however, mentioned the drugs in his system as a complicating factor. Even though that report also ruled it a homicide, right-wing sites took the drugs and spun a narrative about how the autopsy concluded that Floyd died because of an OD. But it's not true and it never has been.

Hey, we're both wrong. The medical examiner released memos along with the autopsy report. These statements were in those memos:

"The autopsy revealed no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation,"

and

"Mr. Floyd had underlying health conditions including coronary artery disease and hypertensive heart disease. The combined effects of Mr. Floyd being restrained by police, his underlying health conditions and any potential intoxicants in his system likely contributed to his death."

We both stand corrected.

No, that first line was only in the draft report. It was removed in the final report, which did conclude that it was a homicide.

And the final report only points out that he might have lived had he been younger and healthier. That doesn't mean the officer didn't kill him. He did.

Thanks for educating me. I was confused about the timing (and meanings) of those reports.
