Medfags and Policefags:
I would appreciate your take on this post in previous notables. Accurate or just baloney?
-
A clerk in the Cup Foods store called the police on George Floyd.
-
Mr. Floyd paid for goods with photocopies of $20 bills.
-
Mr. Floyd was acting erratic, inebriated, and obviously under the overwhelming influence of drugs.
-
The clerk called the police to report the counterfeit bills and to prevent Mr. Floyd from hurting himself or others due to his inebriated state.
-
Police also saw he was extremely drugged out. While standing up next to the squad car, it worsened. Mr. Floyd became confused and agitated, with ever more erratic behavior. He said he was having trouble breathing (while standing upright). He called out for his "Mama", an indication of a sense of impending doom, which often precedes death.
-
Mr. Floyd went into "excited delirium" a medical condition that precedes death.
-
In an "excited delirium", people can scream, run wildly into oncoming cars, thrash around, fall over, and so forth.
-
If the "excited delerium" state is recognized, police are trained to put the person in a "body wrap", where four or more officers grab around all parts of his body, pick him up, lay him on the ground, restrain him, until an ambulance arrives. This way he will not hurt himself or others.
-
Witnesses say they heard the police mention excited delirium before and after they took Mr. Floyd down with the body wrap procedure.
-
Police training videos (see links below) teach that half of the time they encounter a person with excited delirium, that person will die on the scene before getting to a hospital. So be prepared for that.
-
Videos show clearly that Officer Chaupin's knee was on the side of the neck and not the windpipe. Mr. Floyd's head was in an optimal position for good breathing through a clear airway (tilted up and to the side slightly). Officer Chaupin's knee did not obstruct Mr. Floyd's airway. There was no weight on Mr. Floyd's torso to prevent normal respiration. The restraint position was correct.
-
The surrounding crowd did not have a clue about what was transpiring before their eyes, and so jumped to the wrong conclusions.
-
The initial autopsy report said there were no sign of suffocation or asphyxiation. Police coverup? Nope. the many videos prove no blockage of airway so this autopsy report would is expected.
