The combined effect of George Floyd being restrained by the police, along with his underlying health conditions and any potential intoxicants in his system, "likely contributed to his death," according to the criminal complaint for former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin.

Floyd had underlying health conditions, including coronary artery disease and hypertensive heart disease, the complaint said, citing a preliminary autopsy conducted by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner.

Chauvin had his knee on Floyd's neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds in total, and 2 minutes and 53 seconds after Floyd was unresponsive, the complaint said.

The complaint noted that police are trained that this type of restraint with a subject in a "prone position is inherently dangerous."

I hope the complaint will be made available to the general public.

1. Fucking sadist was enjoying it.

[The Magistrate]

2. His Face Makes That Clear, Sir

There is no question about it --- he was taking pleasure in what he did.

3. How could he not feel a dead or dying body underneath him?

4. He wanted to make sure.

Where did the victim get the alleged counterfeit money?

5. Saw a comment that Chauvin's position, Knee on throat, while his Hand was in the left pants pocket,

is know as a position that adds extra force upon the neck.

Chauvin well knew what he was doing to Floyd in that position, & added pressure by pressing down on his left hip, with his hand placed in his pants pocket.

I believe they said it is a position known in marshal arts.

Im not familiar with any marshall arts. Pretty sure I couldn't fight back 🙄

6. If it's already worded like this...

I just hope that the eventual prosecutor has more than "This action likely contributed to his death".
