From the blog:
If factual here is the exculpatory evidence
1.) Floyd is dead of heart attack/failure at 8:24
At 8:24:24 P.M., Mr. Floyd stopped moving. At 8:25:31 P.M., the video showed Mr. Floyd ceased to breathe or speak. Lane said, “want to roll him on his side.” Kueng checked Mr. Floyd’s right wrist for a pulse and said, “I couldn’t find one.”
None of the officers moved from their positions.
See point 6
He is dead!
2.) He has probably ODed or had a heart attack due to the situation , health issues and drugs combination
However, the complaint states that the Medical Examiner’s preliminary findings state that George Floyd did NOT die of
traumatic asphyxia or
strangulation.
This means that all possible causes of death that come from Derek Chauvin’s knee were NOT the cause of George Floyd’s death. Instead, it says that a combination of coronary artery disease, hypertension, and (this is where the case falls apart)
potential intoxicants in his system. That means “drugs.”
3.) stats show 66% of EXD victims die before they can get to hospital under ideal situations . Floyd's situation is less than ideal!
Approximately two thirds of EXD victims die at the scene or during transport by paramedics or police. Victims who do not immediately come to police attention are often found dead in the bathroom surrounded by wet towels and/or clothing and empty ice trays, apparently succumbing during failed attempts to rapidly cool down. It appears that in all cases, victims died of either respiratory arrest or fatal cardiac dysrrhythmia.
ME claims Floyd died of just those causes supporting death by EXD.
4.) Lane questions the senior officer about the current use of force and is assured that the reason that force is being used is because of suspected EXD. Remember paramedics were called before Floyd was restrained probably out of concern for EXD and EXD kill 66% of its victims before they get to hospital. Since paramedics have been called, they choose to restrain him until they arrive and can deal with the probably medical issue of EXD instead of continuing to get him into the car for transport.
Officer Lane said, “I am worried about excited delirium or whatever.” The defendant said, “That’s why we have him on his stomach.” None of the three officers moved from their positions.
5.)MPD rules and definitions:
Neck Restraint: Non-deadly force option. Defined as compressing one or both sides of a person’s neck with an arm or leg, without applying direct pressure to the trachea or airway (front of the neck). Only sworn employees who have received training from the MPD Training Unit are authorized to use neck restraints. The MPD authorizes two types of neck restraints: Conscious Neck Restraint and Unconscious Neck Restraint. (04/16/12)
Conscious Neck Restraint: The subject is placed in a neck restraint with intent to control, and not to render the subject unconscious, by only applying light to moderate pressure. (04/16/12)
6.) Video transcript shows Chauvin reaches for mace right after Floyd has expired but puts it back. He says nothing and continues to follow procedure. No one but him and his men know for sure that Floyd is dead for those last 3 min and he has a hostile crowd watching. Procedure explains the odd behavior of just staring at Floyd when they know he is dead:
After a neck restraint or choke hold has been used on a subject, sworn MPD
employees shall keep them under close observation until they are released to medical or other law enforcement personnel.
Well if true doubt they can prove anything beyond a reasonable doubt even though Chauvin has/had a history of complaints about his performance and use of force.
If acquitted how bad do the riots get?
Personally and I am not in your shoes I would like to see cops receive less paramilitary/ martial arts type training and not be allowed to use choke hold or other potentially lethal measures of force. SWAT excluded. If it escalates to lethal force then shoot the offender. That being said its possible and probable that the knee did not cause Floyds death. Video can not show the level of pressure being exerted.
Also how much of this rioting has been ginned up by the left and the media?
Rahm Emmanuel is probably smiling like a Cheshire cat right now.
