Timeline of George Floyd's Unfortunate Death from Toxicity
A clerk in the Cup Foods store called 911 regarding George Floyd at near 8:30pm. Mr. Floyd paid for goods with photocopies of $20 bills. The clerk said that Mr. Floyd acted erratic in the store and appeared to be under the strong influence of drugs or alchohol. [1]
Officers Lane and Kueng arrived and ordered Mr. Floyd out of the car, pulling him out of the vehicle [3]. Lane and Keung then stood Floyd up and attempted to walk him to their squad car. At 8:14 p.m., Floyd stiffened up, fell to the ground and told the officers he was claustrophobic.[3] Mr. Floyd fell down several times [2] as the police tried to walk him toward the squad car. Offcers Chauvin and Thao then arrived in a separate squad car.[3]
While standing up next to the squad car, Mr. Floyd's condition worsened. He said he was having trouble breathing (while standing upright). He called out for his "Mama" [3], an indication of a sense of impending doom, which often precedes death. This sensation is distressing and horrible. No human should ever have to experience it, but many of us will experience it in minutes before our death. [4] Mr. Floyd, a heavy and large individual, was distressed, thrashing and falling too much to make this possible to get him into the car to go to the hospital.[3]
Next, Chauvin put Mr. Floyd face down on the ground, still handcuffed. Two of the officers held his legs down and then Chauvin placed his left knee on the side and back of Floyd's neck. [3] This is the body wrap procedure that police and firefighters are trained to use when a person goes into a state known as excited delirium.[5, 6]
Officer Lane asked, "Should we roll him on his side?" Chauvin responded, "No, staying put where we got him." Officer Lane said he was "worried about excited delirium," Chauvin said, "That's why we have him on his stomach." [3]
If the "excited delerium" state is recognized, police are trained to put the person into a "body wrap", where four or more officers grab around all parts of his body, pick the person up, lay the person on the ground, to restrain the person, until an ambulance arrives [5, 6]. This way the person will not physically hurt himself or others.
Police training videos teach that much 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. Be prepared for the person to die in your arms. [5, 6]
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 conclusion that the officer's knee stopped Mr. Floyd from breathing. All journalists that I have found, who should have more sense, also came to that same wrong conclusion.
The initial autopsy report said there were no signs of suffocation or asphyxiation. Police coverup? No. The many videos show a good restraint position with no blockage of airway so this autopsy report is expected. Mr. Floyd's erratic behavior point to a lethal dose of drugs, which caused death by toxicity after passing through the state of excited dilireum.
Why did Mr. Floyd complain about being unable to breathe? Death after excited delirium is usually caused by heart attack [8]. The sensation of being unable to breath accompanies most heart attacks [8].
God Bless George Floyd, who suffered much in his last moments. May he rest in peace.
Officer Chavin and the other three officers need to be released from jail and restored as police officers. They appear to have followed the correct procedures.
