The autopsy reports confirm no damage done to Mr. Floyd’s neck.

“None of these guys — even Chauvin — actually killed him,” said the attorney, Earl Gray. … that Floyd died from an overdose of the powerful opioid fentany"

“All he had to do is sit in the police car, like every other defendant who is initially arrested. While attempting to avoid his arrest, all by himself, Mr. Floyd overdosed on Fentanyl,” the court documents read. "Given his intoxication level, breathing would have been difficult at best. Mr. Floyd’s intentional failure to obey commands, coupled with his overdosing, contributed to his own death."

“excited delirium,” that Floyd might have been overdosing and at his size, could be dangerous even in handcuffs. “Potentially very explosive and violent. Um, if drugs in their system, they can kind of have that super human strength,”

He was saying that he couldn’t breathe, but then he was obviously yelling and talking,

Floyd, was in a blue Mercedes

Floyd admitted that he was an addict and a previous arrest, Floyd repeated the same "I can't breath while standing and breathing" behaviors.

So where did Floyd get the Counterfeit $20.00 bill-he uttered and possessed “counterfeit” “United States currency,” a twenty-year felony. Is this even being investigated by the worthless parasite AG Keith Ellison?

Mr. Floyd’s mouth; there is a white spot on the left side of his tongue, at20:29:41-44. Def. Exh. 9. Mr. Floyd rather than comply with Officer Lane’s reasonable instructions, turns his head away at 20:09:45; at 20:09:48, the whitespot is gone. Def. Exhs. 10-12. Def. Exh. 13 is illustrative of what 2 milligrams of fentanyl, a lethal dose, looks like.

The toxicology reports confirmed the presence in Mr.Floyd’s blood of Fentanyl 11 ng/ml; Methamphetamine 19 ng/ml; 11-HydroxyDelta-9 TCH (the active ingredient of marijuana/hashish). Hennepin County Autopsy Report at p. 1. The NMS Lab report, attached to the autopsy, indicates that fentanyl, a“DEA Schedule II synthetic morphine substitute” is “reported to be 80 to 200times as potent as morphine.” NMS Lab Report at p. 3. Signs associated with“fentanyl toxicity” the report notes, “include severe respiratory depression” and“death”; that “fatalities from Fentanyl, blood concentrations are variable and have been reported as low as 3 ng/ml”, almost four times less than the Mr. Floyd’s ingested level (11). This fentanyl concentration, including its norfentanyl metabolite at its molecular weight, was 20.6 ng/mL That is over three times the lethal overdose, following earlier reports where the highest dose survived was 4.6 ng/mL.[2]

Regarding suffocation, the county medical examiner’s report found “no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation.”[3] Pressure applied to the side of the neck, as in this case, and not to the throat, has little or no effect on breathing. One can easily verify this oneself.[4]

One difficulty is that there are public statements to the effect that the coroner ruled it a homicide, and the title of the autopsy report includes the term “neck compression.” But the words “homicide,” “restraint,” “stress” or “compression” do not appear in the 20-page body of the report.

“Cardiopulmonary arrest,”

Notably Officer Chauvin’s “restraint” did not cause any area “of contusion orhemorrhage within the musculature” of the neck. That the “larynx is lined withintact mucosa.

Previous arrest of Floyd, behavior the same…agitated, nervous..A pat down search revealed $594.00 on his person. Oxycodin pillsfell out of his pant leg to the ground. He “appeared to be under the influence of narcotics.” Id. at 8 and 9. There were 274 pills found inside the car,in a leather bag, along with 17.95 grams of field tested cocaine, and 3.10 grams of“field test positive rock cocaine.”Mr. Floyd was taken to the hospital, where he admitting to snorting“Oxycodone daily.” The medical staff found him to be “agitated and confused,hypertensive.” Id. p. 27. He was restrained, for being “physically threatening,and showing the “risk of harming another.” Later, calmed down, Mr. Floyd admitted to injecting 7-8 Oxycodone shortly before his arrest, and stated that “he’s been addicted to opiates for approx. 1.5 years . . .” Continued…

The autopsy reports confirm no damage done to Mr. Floyd’s neck.

“None of these guys — even Chauvin — actually killed him,” said the attorney, Earl Gray. … that Floyd died from an overdose of the powerful opioid fentany"

“All he had to do is sit in the police car, like every other defendant who is initially arrested. While attempting to avoid his arrest, all by himself, Mr. Floyd overdosed on Fentanyl,” the court documents read. "Given his intoxication level, breathing would have been difficult at best. Mr. Floyd’s intentional failure to obey commands, coupled with his overdosing, contributed to his own death."

On August 9, 2007, Mr. Floyd arrived in a Ford Explore at a private residence. He wore a blue uniform, knocked on the door, and when the female resident opened, a total of six Black males stormed in and robbed her. From a photo-line up, the female resident “tentatively identified Defendant George Floyd as being the largest of the suspects who initially forced his way into her home,pulled the pistol into her abdominal area . . .” Mr. Floyd was convicted of this Aggravated Robbery with a Deadly Weapon (his gun), and sentenced, on April 3,2009, to five years in prison.

On September 6, 2006, Mr. Floyd was convicted of possession of cocaine,and served ten months in the State jail. Def. Exh. 16.

On July 21, 2004, he was convicted of “transfer of cocaine”, an offense plea bargained down, the State waiving enhancements, and received ten more months. Def. Exh. 17.

On March 3, 2003, Mr. Floyd was convicted of possession of cocaine, and received 8 months in jail.

Officer Lane had good reason to point his gun when Mr. Floyd did not comply and wouldnot show his hands. Mr. Floyd claimed “I can’t breathe” at least six times in the back seat of the squad. Mr. Floyd was lying about that too. The State cannot dispute that Mr. Floyd should have been arrested. Once arrested, and his record run, he well knew jail would be his destination, a part ofhis ongoing cycle of chemical dysfunction, violence, theft, he was an addict, a distributor of drugs, and evident danger to the community. That a ex-con and violent defendant ought to be able to avoid getting into a squad car by declaring claustrophobia, Brief at p. 5, is found nowhere in the case law, or for that matter common sense.

State’s argument, that after Mr. Floyd lost consciousness, Officer Lane “continued to restrain him,” Brief at p. 9, is not true (body cam footage proves this)

Asinine kek…The State’s Panglossian trope that the Officers should then have relied on the observations of the witnesses on the scene, Brief at p. 12, is without authority, indeed naive. Walk down Lake Street to see what an unrestrained crowd can do.

State alleges that the assault of Mr. Floyd took place at 8:19 PM, Brief at 7

*The autopsy reports confirm no damage done to Mr. Floyd’s neck. **

“the victim’s negligence is relevant on questions of whether the defendant was negligent, and, if so, whether that negligence was theproximate cause of the victim’s [death].” State v. Crace, 289 N.W.2d 54, 60(Minn. 1979). Did, in other words, Mr. Floyd’s negligence at least contribute to this tragedy; was his conduct, in other words, an intervening factor. State v. Schaub, 44 N.W.2d 61, 64 (Minn. 1950); Crace, 289 N.W.2d at 60. Yes.

All he had to do is sit in the police car, like every other defendant who isinitially arrested. While attempting to avoid his arrest, all by himself, Mr. Floyd overdosed on Fentanyl. Given his intoxication level, breathing would have been difficult at best. Mr. Floyd’s intentional failure to obey commands, coupled with his overdosing, contributed to his own death.

Floyd was uncooperative, and Floyd says he can’t breathe, which is what he’s said when he was not on the ground.

When Mr. Floyd continues to say he can’t breathe, Officer Kueng observes, “You’re doing fine. You’re talking fine.” Id. at 29. The ambulance has been summoned long before Mr. Floyd appears to not be breathing. Id. at 33.

Officer Chauvin appears surprised when Officer Keung announces that he can’t find a pulse.

Part 3

Mr Gray pointed to a finding that Mr Chauvin’s knee did not cause bruising to the neck. He said Mr Floyd had been arrested a year earlier, in May last year, by officers who found him “acting extremely nervous” and failing to listen to their commands. He had “put something in his mouth” as they attempted to arrest him and had to be physically removed from the vehicle, Mr Gray wrote.

He was said to have told hospital staff that he had injected opioids before he was arrested and that he had been struggling with an addiction to opiates for a year and a half.

The lawyer says allegations that Mr Floyd had possessed and used counterfeit currency could have resulted in a 20-year prison term, arguing that the officers “had an obligation to arrest Mr Floyd”. Mr Floyd resisted efforts to place him in the back of a police car, he writes. “While attempting to avoid his arrest, all by himself, Mr Floyd overdosed on fentanyl,” adding that his “level of intoxication” would have made breathing difficult. He told officers he could not breathe while they were attempting to place him in the police car.

• Floyd’s blood tests showed a concentration of Fentanyl of about three times the fatal dose.

— Fentanyl is a dangerous opioid 50 times more potent than heroin. It has rapidly become the most common cause of death among drug addicts.

— The knee hold used by the police is not a choke hold, it does not impede breathing. It is a body restraint and is not known to have ever caused fatal injury.

— Floyd already began to complain “I can’t breathe” a few minutes before the neck restraint was applied, while resisting the officers when they tried to get him into the squad car. Fentanyl affects the breathing, causing death by respiratory arrest.

— It was normal procedure to restrain Floyd because he was resisting arrest, probably in conjunction with excited delirium (EXD), an episode of violent agitation brought on by a drug overdose, typically brief and ending in death from cardiopulmonary arrest.

— The official autopsy did indeed give cardiopulmonary arrest as the cause of death, and stated that injuries he sustained during the arrest were not life-threatening.

— Videos of the arrest do not show police beating or striking Floyd, only calmly restraining him

— In one video Floyd is heard shouting and groaning loudly and incoherently while restrained on the ground, which appears to be a sign of the violent, shouting phase of EXD. His ability to resist four officers trying to get him into the squad car is typical of EXD cases. A short spurt of superhuman strength is a classic EXD symptom.

Minneapolis police officers have been charged with Floyd’s murder. Yet all the evidence points to the fact that Floyd had taken a drug overdose so strong that his imminent death could hardly have been prevented. In all likelihood, the police were neither an intentional nor accidental cause of his death. These crucial facts have been completely ignored in the uproar.

In reality, the county autopsy report says he died of a heart attack,[1] and states that there were “no life-threatening injuries.” Then how could they conclude it was homicide?

So let us stick to the evidence. The county’s ambivalent autopsy also included the following hard facts: “Toxicology Findings: Blood samples collected at 9:00 p.m. on May 25th, before Floyd died, tested positive for the following: Fentanyl 11 ng/mL, Norfentanyl 5.6 ng/mL, … Methamphetamine 19 ng/mL … 86 ng/mL of morphine,” but draws no conclusions therefrom, noting only that “Quantities are given for those who are medically inclined.”

It is as if the title was chosen in regard to what was expected or proposed, but which was never found, and the title was never updated. There seems to be no support at all in the report body for the report title, which reads, “Cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression.”

The term “cause of death” does not appear. The words “death” and “fatal” only appear in this comment in the lab report: “Signs associated with fentanyl toxicity include severe respiratory depression, seizures, hypotension, coma and death. In fatalities from fentanyl, blood concentrations are variable and have been reported as low as 3 ng/mL.” Floyd’s fentanyl level was seven times higher. Excited Delirium Syndrome

P-4

An additional hypothesis involves Excited Delirium Syndrome (EXD), a symptom of drug overdose which sometimes appears in the final minutes preceding death. EXD typically results from fatal drug abuse, in past years from cocaine or crack, more recently from fentanyl, which is 50 times more potent than heroin. Especially dangerous are street drugs like meth, heroin or cocaine laced with fentanyl.

“Excited delirium (EXD) is characterized by agitation, aggression, acute distress and sudden death, often in the pre-hospital care setting. It is typically associated with the use of drugs. Subjects typically die from cardiopulmonary arrest… all accounts describe almost the exact same sequence of events: delirium with agitation (fear, panic, shouting, violence and hyperactivity), sudden cessation of struggle, respiratory arrest and death.”

It appears that an EXD episode began when the officers tried to get Floyd into the squad car. He resisted, citing “claustrophobia” — the onset of the fear and panic phase, and “I can’t breathe” — difficulty breathing due to fentanyl locking into the breathing receptors in the brain. (Classic symptoms of EXD are highlighted in bold.) He then exhibited unexpected strength from the adrenaline spike in successfully resisting the efforts of four officers to get him into the car. We may never know whether Floyd’s agitation was caused purely from the EXD adrenaline spike, or if it was aggravated by police attempts to subdue him — but a subject defying the efforts of multiple officers to subdue him is a very common theme.

With a fatal overdose there is no good outcome possible, but there is no way for police to foresee that. In one video[10] Chauvin continued to apply the neck restraint although bystanders repeatedly objected, and even after Floyd stopped moving. As Floyd became exhausted, it could have been reasonable to relax the restraint to see if it was really necessary. Chauvin didn’t seem to respond to the bystanders to give a medical reason for the restraint. His actions were consistent with a belief that police should restrain the subject until medevacs arrive. Videos show the police focused on restraint, never beating or striking Floyd. The restraint and verbal exchanges with Floyd are also consistent with a belief that he was resisting arrest, by refusing to get in the squad car. When he said “I can’t breathe,” they responded “You’re talking fine.” When they said “Get in the car,” he didn’t agree to.

Subjects suffering from EXD usually resist arrest violently, which requires police to restrain them, but when police see signs of EXD, they also need to call an ambulance. It appears the police may have called for paramedics first when Floyd developed a nosebleed, then for an ambulance, which arrived after Floyd had stopped breathing.[11] .

Floyd had taken an overdose at triple the lethal level. Enough drugs to kill him three times over. Yet you can only die once… so how could the stress of restraint contribute more to their deaths? That is a little like saying that someone died because their parachute didn’t open, and the weight of their backpack also contributed to the fall.

[1] https://lawandcrime.com/george-floyd-death/authorities-just-released-george-floyds-complete-autopsy-report-read-it-here/ The full autopsy report was published here https://www.hennepin.us/-/media/hennepinus/residents/public-safety/documents/Autopsy_2020-3700_Floyd.pdf Diagnoses are summarized on pp. 1 and 2: I. The “blunt force injuries” are basically minor cuts and bruises: “cutaneous” injuries and contusions from handcuffing. II. Chronic conditions: Heart disease, hypertension and enlarged heart. These all tend to accelerate death from a drug overdose. They can also develop from long-term drug abuse. III. No injuries to the front of the neck or throat were found. This full 76-page report does not contain the word “homicide.”
