I consider you pretty logical and level headed. It's amazing how two reasonable and intelligent people can see this case so differently. I am sure I have my blind spots as well but, it seems from any unbiased look at this case, that Mr Floyd had a life long struggle with addiction to some very deadly drugs. That shortly before he died he was suffering an overdose when he was dealing with law enforcement. That he died as a result of not getting immediate treatment for the overdose.RollingRock » 09 Apr 2021, 1:45 pm » wrote: ↑ I really hope that's not the case (for many reasons). Most importantly, I think the prosecution's witnesses and experts have been beyond compelling. I can't imagine they won't find Chauvin guilty of one of the charges. But history does show that in cases like this, the cop almost always walks...so nothing's for certain.
He was complaining about trouble breathing several minutes before being put on the ground.
He had a feeling of impending doom and was paranoid.
He had a 3x lethal amount of fentanyl in his system coupled with methamphetamine.
I don't dispute the findings of the experts, he died from hypoxia. He was unable to get enough oxygen to his brain to sustain life. I disagree with their conclusions that it was positional asphyxia. I am insulted by an expert that claims one minutes that 97.8 pounds of pressure was applied to Floyd's neck one minute and admits during cross-examination that the knee was on his shoulders. Upset by media coverage that is only focusing on the prosecution’s statements and answers, including the defense portions as an ineffective afterthought.
Blm leaders have already indicated that anything less than a murder conviction will result in violence. I have never been a fan of violence to promote a political agenda. From right wing wack jobs shooting up churches to blm agitators burning and looting stores, it's all unjustified idiocy. The fact these threats are made and are quite plausible is disturbing. Hopefully you will join me in condemning the violence before it predictably takes place.
