Maybe George Floyd committed suicide

[Stinky The Clown]

I mean, now they're suggest carbon monoxide poisoning. Can suicide be far behind?

As I have been saying, they got nuttin'.

Their strategy is clear: confuse, obfuscate, and hope to convince just one juror to disbelieve their own eyes.

This Day in History...

April 14, 1865: John Wilkes Booth shoots Abraham Lincoln at Ford's Theatre.

Or, as Derek Chauvin's lawyer would put it, Lincoln causes his own death by going to a play.

3. Now he's arguing about the relative safety of the prone position.

Why, only 1 suspect died in the prone position according to some study on the dangers of putting people on their stomachs....

um, prone position is not the same as prone position with a knee on the neck causing positional asphyxiation.

4. It seems for certain people being arrested or interacting with Police is not healthy.

I doubt any of the medical experts would volunteer to try out a knee on the neck for 9 minutes.

5. excess melanin is a potentially fatal comorbidity. nt

8. Definitely not an undetermined historical cause of death

9. Ain't that the fuckin truth.

If the tables were turned, and this were a black cop that had killed a white suspect, omg fox news would be having a field day covering this.

As someone earlier here put it, if there were video of me killing someone, that trial would be over on Tuesday before lunch.

6. What a clever plan!

Let yourself die at the hands of police in order to get a few charged, tried and possibly convicted.

7. According to this current medical examiner . . .

George Floyd was on death's doorstep before Chauvin smothered him. His heart was a ticking time bomb and the plaque in his arteries would have killed him anyway. Carbon monoxide may have been a contributing factor.

The victim is to blame. And the officer? Simply doing his job.

The whole testimony is reprehensible.

Don't believe your lying eyes. And for God's sake, forget all that testimony from Chauvin's senior officers and/or previous medical examiners who were riveting in their analyses.

10. You can't see it on the video or any of the still photographs, but ...

George Floyd actually had his lips wrapped around the exhaust pipe of the police car while alternating between inhaling deeply of carbon monoxide, huffing glue, and snorting crystal meth.
