That's because is was restraint and neck compression that lead to death, not trauma.

It doesn’t say anywhere that there was any evidence of neck compression anywhere in the autopsy. Thats not a finding. Thats the potential cause of death he is meant to investigate. It doesn’t establish anything.

It doesnt say restraint and neck compression lead to death. It says there’s a lack of evidence of any life threatening injuries. A lack of injuries to the neck. And 98% oxygenation. Plus a lethal concentration of fentanyl.

I think you just dont want to admit that all the evidence is pointing to GF dying of fentanyl while he was appropriately pinned to the ground by a much smaller cop while resisting arrest.

Sciam is scraping the bottom of the sci barrel. Its a sci turd. Strictly for the “I fucking love science” liberal arts major crowd. There is literally no worse science publication. What a shame they did to that magazine. They used to print their physics articles with the calculus included. Academic journals are going down hill for the same sort of reasons but you are far more likely to get unvarnished science there without the politics

You're misinterpreting the report. He's quite clear about it when he gives testimony. The cause of death was "CARDIOPULMONARY ARREST COMPLICATING LAW ENFORCEMENT SUBDUAL, RESTRAINT, AND NECK COMPRESSION" and the manner was homicide.

He's also clear that the fentanyl and heart condition contributed to but were not the main cause of death

Do you have a problem with all the publications under the control of Nature Publishing Group?

If you don't like the opinion of the three medical professionals who wrote the blog, I would be more swayed by a refutation of those opinions than by claiming that you have issues with the URL that hosts it.

The coronor admited that he had to revise his analysis. They leaned on him. He was quite clear in the initial coronors report.

How do you explain 98% oxygenation? How do explain no evidence of choking or strangulation. Like no petichial hemmoraging? And he just happen to have potentially lethal amounts of speed ball cocktail.

Maybe youve heard of reasonable doubt. I could drive a truck through this case. This is just the new “crucible” . Its a which hunt for “racists”under every bed. GF was pinned to control him after he resisted arrest for 10 minutes. And then he died on the pavement from a speed ball. And seriously good riddance, he went around shoving guns in to pregnant woman’s stomachs and threatening to shoot their babies. GF was a bad dude and a heroin addict who killed himself accidently while commiting 3 simulaneous crimes.

Yeah I do have a problem with Nature. I think they are controlled by some shadey oligarchs. Medical/scientific journal industry is a corrupt oligarchy. But I have a particular problem with Sci Am, the last two editors are absolute turds. Sci Am is so spectaculary anti-science now its not even funny. I subbed to it for 20+ years. I watched it go down hill.

Well it is titled "CARDIOPULMONARY ARREST COMPLICATING LAW ENFORCEMENT SUBDUAL, RESTRAINT, AND NECK COMPRESSION", same as the death certificate. So I agree that it's quite clear.

How do you explain 98% oxygenation?

You're talking about Dr. Tobin's testimony refuting the defence's claim that carbon monoxide poisoning could have contributed to George's death?

Dr Tobin isn't a coroner.

Maybe youve heard of reasonable doubt. I could drive a truck through this case.

The jury followed all the evidence more closely than you or I. And the found the charges with the "beyond reasonable doubt" burden to have been proven to that standard. Unanimously.

And then he died on the pavement from a speed ball.

That's inconsistent with his struggling to breathe. And inconsistent with what all the experts said about his fentanyl levels.

That's why the jury (and coroner) were confident in attributing the death to Chauvin's actions.

Yeah I do have a problem with Nature.

Okay. You're talking about the most prestigious general science journal on the planet, so I think most people would disagree with you there.

I think they are controlled by some shadey oligarchs.

Who? Frank Vrancken Peeters?

Sci Am is so spectaculary anti-science now its not even funny.

... such as ... not engaging in climate science denial and calling out Trump for being anti science?

A medical doctor doesn’t understand what 98% oxygen means in a man who supposedly was choked to death. But a jury with an average IQ of 90 knows what’s going on. They’re specifically selected for being stupid. Why don’t you just admit that karmic justice was served when GF killed himself, and this is another racist witch hunt of an innocent man on behalf of another typical BLM “saint”. Can’t they find one single innocent black man to rally for? Are these psychos what pass for normal in the black community?

Yeah I give fuck all for prestige when it lacks merit. Thats called feudalism. Nature and many other academic and science institutions squandered their reputation for woke politics. Its over. At least theres some decent research being done outside the anglosphere. It turns out women and minorities really were bad for science.

A medical doctor doesn’t understand what 98% oxygen means in a man who supposedly was choked to death.

A medical doctor understands what 98% oxygenation means.

I can only find the reference to 98% oxygenation in Dr Tobin's testimony when he was recalled to the stand to refute the defence's claim that George might have had a lot of carbon monoxide in his blood from the exhaust.

The significant is not the 98% oxygenation, but the 2% of everything else. Putting a maximum limit of 2% on how much CO there was in his blood.

The reason that the 98% wasn't significant was because this measurement was taken at the hospital, from George's wrist. So the body would have been given oxygen and CPR / cardiac pacing in the ambulance and possibly in the hospital, until his death was called. This attempt to save his life would have brought his oxygen saturation levels back up after his heart and lungs stopped the first time from the subdual, restraint and neck compression.

But a jury with an average IQ of 90 knows what’s going on.

Which is why they have expert witnesses explain the significance and detail of the evidence.

Why don’t you just admit that karmic justice was served when GF killed himself

Why don't you just admit justice was served when a violent racist was found guilty of a murder that he committed?

1) Because he didn't kill himself. There was a court case about that. It was found that he was murdered by Derek Chauvin.

Derek Chauvin has a history of violence against black people. One of the 18 complaints against him when he was a police officer, had video evidence of him hitting a 4-year-old black boy in the head with a flashlight so hard he required stitches, then holding him down with his knee for nearly 17 minutes, ignoring the boy's complaints that he couldn't breathe. And his boss from his previous job as a security guard has said "Chauvin was unnecessarily aggressive on nights when the club had a black clientele, quelling fights by dousing the crowd with pepper spray and calling in several police squad cars as backup".

2) George had paid his debt to society, and was turning his life around. After Floyd's release, he became more involved with Resurrection Houston, a Christian church and ministry, where he mentored young men and posted anti-violence videos to social media. He delivered meals to senior citizens and volunteered with other projects, such as the Angel By Nature Foundation, a charity founded by rapper Trae tha Truth. Later he became involved with a ministry that brought men from the Third Ward to Minnesota in a church-work program with drug rehabilitation and job placement services.

Yeah I give fuck all for prestige when it lacks merit.

There's a high bar to justify your claims that it lacks merit. What's your best evidence-based case?

It turns out women and minorities really were bad for science.

And your best evidence for that too.

The significant is not the 98% oxygenation, but the 2% of everything else.

Which we know wasn’t CO. That was the back door the defense used to establish oxygen levels. But the jury was too stupid to know what it meant. Even if they raised oxygen levels through artificial respiration, they should have been able to start his heart again unless he was on a lethal dose of fentanyl, WHICH HE WAS.

Daily reminder that GF had a lethal dose of self-administered poison in his veins that stops hearts. Inconvenient fact.

Why don't you just admit justice was served when a violent racist .....Derek Chauvin has a history of violence against black people

Thank you for establishing that GEORGE FLOYD WAS A VIOLENT RACIST. Everything Chauvin has been accused of, GF has been proven to do. George Floyd commited violent crimes against people of other races. I guess he’s a violent racist per your definition. He tricked a hispanic woman in to opening her door and then shoved a gun in her pregnant stomach and threatened to shoot her baby. He was 34. And clearly a violent racist.

Oh I forgot we give blacks, the greatest perpetrators of racist crime in the country, a pass because..... Society’s fault? Or maybe its just the way they are.

George had paid his debt to society, and was turning his life around.

At 34, he shoved a gun in a pregnant woman’s stomach. Not teenage ‘trouble making’. Psychopathy. He meets sufficient criteria on the DSM psychopathy checklist. He’s a psycopath. Is psychopathy cureable? Nope. That is SCIENCE. Why don’t you pay attention to the science on this? People with psychopathic personality can’t be fixed. They don’t experience a conscience as most people do.

a Christian church and ministry,

Im surprised as a good liberal that you fall in with this christian mumbo jumbo. Jesus cant fix psychopathy. These are inborn character traits ususally genetic. Multiple felonies including violent assualts. Committing violent assault at 34. Still using and dealing in his 40s ( probably where the counterfeit bill came from.), doing pornos, did not know or care for his children. So he showed up at some convict outreach program to get some hand-out or job referral. They’ve got a 1000 ex-cons in that program, 95% of them are psychopaths.

You can’t cure psychopathy.

There's a high bar to justify your claims that it lacks merit. What's your best evidence-based case?

Science has become co-opted by SJWs. Everyone knows it. Its not objective anymore. A year and a half ago, when people started calling for flights from China to be banned, the WHO said “ Racism is the real epidemic!” You can’t make that shit up.

My evidence for women and blacks shitting up science? Besides hundreds of peer reviewed studies on IQ and race and sex? Just google sexist lies about sex and math ability or something. You cant’ miss it. Men dominate the highest percentiles for math and science. Utterly. And I imagine you know where blacks are in any IQ distribution. The data is totally clear. When you seek ‘parity’ in stem, you choose to promote a less talented scientist over a more talented one. Thats why they are getting rid of grades and SATs. They are just going to stop measuring ability. The data is too inconvenient.

Are we supposed to just not notice that as soon as women get to around 40% of science decision making positions that the scientific establishment suddenly becomes a kindergarten teacher from hell and starts claiming some reasearch just can’t be performed because it will hurt people’s feelings? We’ve let frustrated mommies take over our scientific and medical institutions (as well as many other institutions) and they are vindictive tyrannical mommies. Its the Karenocracy. Im embarrassed for all women.

Nope. He was dead.

unless he was on a lethal dose of fentanyl, WHICH HE WAS.

WHICH HE WAS FUCKING NOT. EXPERT WITNESSES GAVE EVIDENCE THAT THE DEATH WAS SOMEONE DYING OF LACK OF OXYGEN, NOT AN OVERDOSE. EXPERT WITNESSES GAVE EVIDENCE THAT THE LEVEL OF FENTANYL WAS LOW FOR AN OVERDOSE.

The death certificate shows homicide by police subdual, restraint and neck compression. There's no argument here.

Daily reminder that GF had a lethal dose of self-administered poison in his veins that stops hearts. Inconvenient fact.

Not lethal, according to people who know what they're talking about. And, this is critical, the video of his death showed someone going through the stages of trying to get air into his lungs. It does not show someone drifting off from an overdose.

He meets sufficient criteria on the DSM psychopathy checklist. He’s a psycopath.

You might have to link me to the psychological

Im surprised as a good liberal that you fall in with this christian mumbo jumbo.

George fell for it. He mentored young men through one christian based organization and delivered meals to the elderly through another. Not me.

None of which matters. Murder is killing someone. It is not killing someone who InvoluntaryHalibut thinks is a nice guy.

Science has become co-opted by SJWs. Everyone knows it.

That's not evidence. That just making the same claim stronger, also without evidence.

Men dominate the highest percentiles for math and science.

Not any more:

Girls score the same in maths and science as boys, but higher in arts – this may be why they are less likely to pick STEM careers

And I imagine you know where blacks are in any IQ distribution.

There's a lot more genetic variation in Africa than outside it. "Blacks" is way too broad to make those claims. Africa will have all the extremes in the different populations there.

Well, Caucasians back-bred with neanderthals, so they are in some aspects intermediate between neanderthals and Africans. Shorter, hairyer, smaller lips, smaller penises, larger brain case, more sloping forehead. As well as the neanderthal traits from northern Europe: white skin, flat hair.

Don't make your conclusion before looking at the evidence. That's not science.

Are we supposed to just not notice that as soon as women get to around 40% of science decision making positions that the scientific establishment suddenly becomes a kindergarten teacher from hell and starts claiming some reasearch just can’t be performed because it will hurt people’s feelings?

I'd be interested in the research that produces this "around 40%" figure.

7 ng fentanyl is considered lethal.

Blood concentrations of approximately 7 ng/ml or greater have been associated with fatalities where poly-substance use was involved

https://www.emcdda.europa.eu/publications/drug-profiles/fentanyl_en

I assume they know what theyr’e talking about.

I know you can do it . You are a big boy/girl/demiboi/genderfluid sprite

George fell for it. He mentored young men through one christian based organization and delivered meals to the elderly through another.

No he didn’t. Psychopathy doesn’t go into remission like cancer. GF couldn’t feel empathy. He used that program the way other convicts do, opportunistically. That’s why those programs don’t work. When he delivered meals to the elderly he was thinking of ways to steal from them. All this while he continued to use and sell heroin.

None of which matters. Murder is killing someone. It is not killing someone who InvoluntaryHalibut thinks is a nice guy.

I don’t agree. We don’t know how many people George Floyd killed dealing heroine. He sold it because he didn’t care if others lived or died. He pistol whipped a pregnant woman because he didn’t care.

Who knows how many people GF or Ahmaud Arbery or any of these BLM saints would have murdered if cops were not continually wrangling these psychos.

The problem is the anti-science position of the judicial system that insists that someone who has exhibited multiple psychopathy traits well in to adulthood can be fixed with talk therapy and a couple years in jail. GF had morals closer to a chimpanzee. He did not have a sense of right and wrong as you know it. He did what was immediately beneficial for George, including attacking pregnant women.

DC spend his career wrangling dangerous psychopaths let loose on the public by deluded (or sinister?) legislatures/judges. Its a messy, dangerous job, but the benefits are good. Psychos have to be removed from society. It would be safer if we could do that only once or twice per psycho, instead of over and over and over and over again because of a reckless judicial/corrections system.

For every few thousand violent psychos that resist arrest, one case will go sideways. You blame it on racism because it suits your silly narrative. But its not. Its because he resisted arrest and was restrained in a reasonable manner considering his behavior and he died of the poison he ingested when that happened.

GF was going to do bad things until he was a wheelchair bound old man, just like all psychopaths.

Blacks are incarcerated “en masse” because the have higher rates of psychopathy and commit way more crime than whites.

Democrats can’t give (white) money away fast enough to blacks so they figured they would give them something cheap. A get out of arrest free card. Cops wont arrest violent and thieving blacks because they know theyll be put on trial for murder if anything goes wrong. Blacks are now encouraged to chimp out like they did at black spring break in Miami beach. Liberal whites are fleeing the cities for white suburbs because they just can’t admit the truth. The problem is BLACK CRIME. Not racism. Not lack of opportunity.

African Americans, 95% of whom have between 10 and 60% white admixture:

https://files.catbox.moe/rdc7sw.jpg

Mean IQ~ 85 positively skewed distribution, just like the distribution of white admixture in that population. AA IQ has been correlated to % white admixture.

African populations score quite a bit lower. But AAs are almost exclusively of west african extraction. GF isn’t a Khoi San ffs. He’s not a Morroccan. Igbo and Yoruba average in the 70s. Thats who his ancestors are. AAs are around or 75% W. African and around 25% white, typically.

It matters not because I can make broad claims about the IQ scores of diverse african populations as being uniformly low.

Girls score the same in maths and science as boys, but higher in arts – this may be why they are less likely to pick STEM careers

That is high school math. Men dominate the tail ends of the IQ spectrum. But once you get to advanced college level math and you’ve weeded out the dumbest 85% (~115) you will have about a 3:2 MF ratio. And if you take differential equations it will be 2:1 or 3:1. You’ve probably taken some of those sort of classes. Did you notice the gender ratio change by the 400s level courses? I sure as fuck did.

IQ has trade offs. Aussie abos have some of the lowest IQs in the world. Like 65 or 70. Except for their “visual memory” IQ. They average 119 in that area. But they cannot do math.

Women have IQ trade off too. They have improved communication skills generally, for obvious reasons within an evolutionary context. They are far less likely than males to be able to perform the abstract spatial thinking required for advanced stem. Plus they appear to be emotional retards when a totally objective dispassionate analysis is required. At the population level of course. Science needs to be purged of these mommy brains.

Caucasians back-bred with neanderthals

Why do you think they are better at math? Have you checked out the brain case on that guy? Ice age conditions breed big brains.

"around 40%" figure.

Strictly pulled out of my ass based on personal observations over a few decades. Will vary from field to field and levels within each field. You find a lot of male subject matter experts. But a lot of project manager “mommies” these days. Trade offs.

7 ng fentanyl is considered lethal.

Okay. You're going to have to define "considered lethal". Considered by whom? lethal to whom? Why doesn't it matter how big they are, or their tolerance?

Not that it matters. The pulmonary doctor was pretty clear that the video of George showed someone dying of lack of oxygen, not an overdose.

Which shouldn't be surprising because the Jury of 12 came to the unanimous decision that Chauvin was guilty on all charges.

I assume they know what they're talking about.

I'm sure they do.

But I question whether "Blood concentrations of approximately 7 ng/ml or greater have been associated with fatalities where poly-substance use was involved" implies that 11 ng/ml would be expected to be fatal without poly-substance use.

It is known that the 11 mg/l is entirely possible to survive, because the toxicology witness showed that 25% of people charged with DUI tested with more than that. And they were alive, and driving.

So the question is was 11 mg/l enough to kill George. And the answer is there's a plethora of evidence from the video and form the autopsy that showed that what killed George was not an overdose.

So it's possible that it wasn't enough to kill him, and it's not what he died of.

I don’t agree. We don’t know how many people George Floyd killed dealing heroine.

Murder is killing someone. It is not killing someone who didn't deal heroine.

That aside, when did George deal heroine?

He pistol whipped a pregnant woman because he didn’t care.

So he took a plea-deal on. But he always maintained his innocence. Probably intelligent. The system's a lot kinder to police than black men.

And the questions that remain about that are why murder is murder of any person. You can't make it legal to kill someone by intimidating them into taking a plea deal on charges that they claim to be innocent of.

The problem is the anti-science position of the judicial system that insists that someone who has exhibited multiple psychopathy traits well in to adulthood can be fixed with talk therapy and a couple years in jail.

The judicial system just puts penalties for crimes. It doesn't hold that people should be rehabilitated. Just that they serve their time.

You blame it on racism because it suits your silly narrative.

No, because Chauvin's previous employers have talked about his violence towards blacks.

Cops wont arrest violent and thieving blacks because they know they'll be put on trial for murder if anything goes wrong.

All you have to do is stop kneeling on their neck once you've choked them into unconsciousness. Not murdering someone isn't that high a bar. I've done it my entire life.

Mean IQ~ 85 positively skewed distribution, just like the distribution of white admixture in that population.

Can you link me to the paper that that graph is from?

Note that that difference in IQ is only about the difference between white boomers and white millennials. So there's no reason to assume that (if its correct) that it won't disappear with a couple of generations of decent education.

That is high school math.

Yes.

But once you get to advanced college level math and you’ve weeded out the dumbest 85% (~115) you will have about a 3:2 MF ratio.

It's not the dumbest you weed out. Another factor is how good they are at other subjects.

Why do you think they are better at math?
