Live Updates on George Floyd Protests: Asphyxia Caused Floyd’s Death, Private Autopsy Finds
New York City imposes a curfew as the nation braces for a seventh day of protests and President Trump demands a tougher response by governors.www.nytimes.com
George Floyd died not just because of the knee lodged at his neck by a Minneapolis Police officer, but also because of the other officers who helped hold him down, a private autopsy found.
Dr. Allecia M. Wilson of the University of Michigan and Dr. Michael Baden, a former New York City medical examiner, were hired by Mr. Floyd’s family to help determine his cause of death.
“Not only was the knee on George’s neck a cause of his death, but so was the weight of the other two police officers on his back, who not only prevented blood flow into his brain but also air flow into his lungs,” said Antonio Romanucci, a lawyer for the family.
I appreciate your input. And I agree the other two officers weight DID contribute.
SAD that the police were not more constrained. I wonder though if you and the rest of the world were
just as concerned about this death that occurred in 2014.
I don't remember any national riots? Curfews? National news coverage? WHY NOT!
A BLACK cop shot a WHITE man for no cause!!!
The decision of a St. Louis grand jury to not indict a police officer there of shooting and killing an
unarmed man has raised new interest in an officer involved fatal shooting in Salt Lake City.
Police in Salt Lake City are continuing their probe into an Aug. 11 shooting outside a 7-Eleven convenience store,
when a black police officer, whom local media are referring to as “not white,” shot and killed 20-year-old Dillon Taylor,
who was unarmed at the time, according to his supporters.
