What killed George Floyd?

If you look at the transcripts from the police monitors, you will see that George Floyd fought police officers when they tried to put him into the squad car. He claimed to be claustrophobic. Also he complained, “I can’t breathe” and asked to be placed on the ground. The officers accommodated him and put him on his stomach, because they could see he was on drugs and drugs can cause people to vomit, often choking them to death.

The officer put his knee on Floyd’s neck. Not on his windpipe. This tactic is often standard in their training and has been used thousands of times effectively without choking anyone. Can anyone find another case where a person died on account of a knee on his neck?

“But I saw it with my own eyes!”

Perhaps, but you still did not have all the facts, unless you read the autopsy report. He had a lethal dose of fentanyl in his system. Police officer Chauvin apparently did not understand the full problem as he waited for the medics to arrive, and that was his main mistake. Here is an article by Dr. Craig Roberts.

The proof of this old adage is the picture of police officer Chauvin with his knee on George Floyd’s neck.

The entire world has seen this picture and had it interpreted for them by a lazy, incompetent, and dishonest American media without any regard to evidence or the medical examiner’s report. The official story is that Floyd died from suffocation resulting from the pressure of Chauvin’s knee on Floyd’s neck.  

Much has been made of the police removing Floyd from the squad car where they had him safely ensconced and placing him on his stomach in the street so they could kill him. 

We all saw it with our own eyes, so we know it is true.  But it isn’t.

As the medical examiner’s report shows, Floyd’s blood indicates a fatal dose of fentanyl, a killer opioid.  I have researched many studies of fentanyl’s lethality.  I have provided links here:

We know for a fact that small amounts of fentanyl can stop breathing.  See:

Notice especially:  

“Can you overdose on fentanyl?

Yes, a person can overdose on fentanyl. An overdose occurs when a drug produces serious adverse effects and life-threatening symptoms. When people overdose on fentanyl, their breathing can slow or stop. This can decrease the amount of oxygen that reaches the brain, a condition called hypoxia. Hypoxia can lead to a coma and permanent brain damage, and even death.”

You should read the entire article. It is not much longer than this quotation from it.
