Sooooooo....what is the difference? The trump flag.....the white skin.....Tell me the difference between the trump mob beating police and a black man asking to breathe?
The difference is that the black man asking to breathe had overdosed on fentanyl and was going to die regardless of anything the cops did. They didn't have the necessary equipment and drugs to counter the amount of drugs in his system, and the emergency services didn't arrive in enough time to save him.
Of course, the angry mob demands a blood sacrifice, so either Chauvin will be the sacrifice, or the city will be it.
It's amazing how much smarter you are on calling the reason for death over medical experts who EXAMINED his body and came up with a different conclusion.
Follow the trial. The most recent evidence shows that the amount of drugs he consumed to cover for his dealer was fatal in its own right.
The doctors said the drugs didn't kill him.
Depends on the doctor. Cardiac arrest and drugs, not low oxygen, caused Floyd's death, defense expert says
He was paid to say that, now what did the doctors who actually examined Floyd say?
You don't think bias comes into play with them as well -- especially when a case has been heavily politicized by the media and the city is under the threat of more riots?
So the Emergency Room Doctor is lying as well as the Medical Examiner.
The ER doctor, no. The medical examiner, maybe.
Either way, it doesn't appear that Chauvin can be conclusively blamed for Floyd's death.
If you don't want him to be, the ER doctor is the first one to work on him so I am pretty sure he would know.
The reason I doubt an ER doctor less than an examiner is because the job is less political in nature. ER personnel don't have the time for politics.
There is a caveat to their findings, however. An ER doctor is only going to be working with details that are immediately apparent. Examiners and pathologists have the time to more rigorously analyze the evidence. The downside to this, however, is that more time allows for more manipulation as well. More time also allows for politics to get in the way.
An examiner whose investigation is the center of a very controversial case is going to feel pressure to maintain the narrative, especially if his/her personal information is available to the public. The angry mob may target him/her if the "wrong" conclusion is announced.
That's a cop out, you folks want Chauvin to walk so bad you will come up with any kind of bullshit you can.
Ultimately, whether Chauvin walks or not has no bearing on my life. And to be clear, even if Floyd turns out to have died from a drug overdose and heart condition rather than the knee technique, it doesn't mean that Chauvin is in the free and clear. He could still be charged with criminal negligence, and he could still be pursued in civil court.
All I'm suggesting is that he didn't intentionally kill the guy and that there are serious doubts that it was actually the knee technique that actually killed him or even affected his breathing.
How do you know he didn't intentionally kill him, you AssUMe he didn't intentionally kill him. The dude looked like he was enjoying what he was doing.
At this point, I kind of hope he did intentionally kill him. With all of the bellyaching over "racism", certain people need to be shown what real racism is.
