Yet he had 3 times the lethal amount of fentanyl in his bloodstream. I watched the video many times and they put no pressure on Floyd. I notice in your long whiny post you didn't address him saying "I can't breathe" several times while he was still in the cop car. And lastly look at Saint Floyd's criminal history to see all his arrests for drugs

Here's your "gentle giant" saint Floyd https://media.patriots.win/post/taAnYSve.jpeg

3 times the lethal amount of fentanyl in his bloodstream.

Three times for somebody who has never had opiates before. Not for a habitual user who has a tolerance for the drug. For a habitual user, it was enough to take some of the pain away and give you a slight buzz.

I watched the video many times and they put no pressure on Floyd.

There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.

you didn't address him saying "I can't breathe" several times while he was still in the cop car.

He was having a stress-induced panic attack, which made the stress position worse. You think that clears Chauvin of wrong-doing? That makes his actions worse, not better, he took a suspect who even Blind Freddy could see was already having trouble breathing and instead of de-escalating and calming him down, dragged him out of the police car to torture him in a stress position that restricted his breathing.

And then when even his fellow cops could see that Floyd had stopped breathing, when even the other cops saw that he had no pulse, Chauvin refused to allow them to move him into the recovery position. TWICE. He refused a bystander's offer to start CPR. Even when the ambulance arrived, and the EMT was trying to check Floyd's breathing, Chauvin refused to release the hold.

Chauvin knew exactly what he was doing, which was deliberate, intentional murder in full view of dozens of witnesses.

I never called Floyd a "gentle giant" or a "saint". He was a troubled man with an addiction to prescription painkillers and a criminal past. He was working as a bouncer at the same nightclub that Chauvin was moonlighting, so he couldn't have been that gentle. The truth be told, he was probably an asshole. I wouldn't want to break bread with him. But you know what? There's no death penalty for being an asshole, and even if passing on a counterfeit twenty had the death penalty, the cops aren't supposed to murder guilty people in cold blood either.

It takes a very special kind of idiocy for people to cheer on cops deciding on a whim who should live and who should die without due process.

If you want to live in a society which condones thugs like Derek Chauvin committing murder in broad daylight in front of dozens of witnesses just because he has a badge, you're even stupider than I thought.
