George Floyd 'contributed to his own death by intentionally taking a lethal dose fentanyl as he resisted arrest', attorney for one of the officers charged in his killing claims

An attorney for one of the Minneapolis police officers charged in George Floyd's killing claims the black man contributed to his own death because he overdosed on fentanyl during his arrest.

Thomas Lane, 37, is one of the three officers charged with aiding and abetting murder for holding down Floyd's legs during his May 25 fatal arrest.

Another officer, Derek Chauvin, is charged with murder after body cam showed him kneeling on Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes as he pleaded: 'I can't breathe'.

He ate the drugs rather then get arrested for possession and violate his parole. He needed narcam immediately but the cops didn’t recognize the drug how the heck is this murder?

Really who cares. What is more important is that black children are getting gun down almost on a daily basis now in this country. I see no outrage. When you fail the most innocent you are not a civilized human being. Many blm supporters refer to themselves as African Americans. They best not dare every every put American first Because they are more African which is primal and uncivilized

I watched the whole video..if he would have just sat in The car as he was told. It was obvious he was high on something. But complained I couldn't breathe before they even put him on the ground. There was a point when the officer should have took his knee off his neck when he stops struggling. No damage to neck tissue.

Yeah... that PO's knee on his carotid artery for EIGHT MINUTES FORTY-FIVE SECONDS has nothing to do with it.

And did you do any of the autopsy? And why do one if you aren’t looking for results? It’s a wonder they didn’t have video showing out of the WHITE carriage drawn by horses.

It did not. You would be correct 10:32

10:32 The Medical Examiner's autopsy report was on the 'net almost immediately after the autopsy. No damage noted to the neck structure.

The camera angle we saw was kind of deceptive. No question the officer's knee was poised above his neck/head. But he was in position to keep the head/neck from flailing about rather than pressing down. The fentanyl kills a lot of drug abusers; it reduces respiration...but abusers aren't reading the instructions or talking with a pharmacist.

12:24. He had over 3 times the amount of fentanyl in his system that can kill a person. Per the autopsy.

This article is another attempt to spin the reader into believing Floyd died. He did not. He is an actor. It was a Psyop.

7:12 - paranoid much?

10:32 Maybe if he hadn’t bothered to swallow all the drugs he had on him he would still be alive🤷‍♀️ Pretty simple actually but I know you’d rather blame someone else.

Northwest Woodsman: This has never been about the death of George Floyd. As unfortunate as it was, it was only a triggering mechanism used by the Pedomarxist left and their supporters in the press, media, and politics to begin their long awaited cultural revolution. Every move they have made, the violence, the looting, rioting, destruction of businesses is part of their standard operating procedures. Do a little research into the history of the Chinese cultural revolution instigated by Mao Zedong in 1966, the Russian revolution of 1918, as well as other communist attempts to secure power and you will find that the characteristics of their activities are all very similar. That is because they all read from the same playbook. The same people in charge utilizing “useful idiots” as their foot soldiers that have been indoctrinated in socialist ideology by our public education system. They have not been taught actual history of the misery and economic disaster that communism creates but only the utopian theory that under communism, everyone is equal. What is not taught is that most are miserable while the ruling elite are way more equal than the rest. This is not going to end well unless we stand up and demand that this threat to our country and ultimately, the way we live out lives, is crushed by overwhelming force. This is why they want to take away your ability to own firearms, not to reduce firearm related crime.

Disgusting. Have that same energy when terrorists are on TV killing Americans in their country. I'll try not to say they shouldn't broke the law in their country and justify what i clearly see is wrong. Some of you are going to die horrid deaths. God sits high and looks low.
