Four Minneapolis officers fired after death of black man part II

[JTScribe]

Amen. In this country, we do not negotiate with terrorists. Chauvin will just be the beginning if we tell the mob that all they have to do to see people strung up is threaten to riot.

Unfortunately the political leadership of Minnesota are moral cowards and you can depend them to do just that.

How quickly do the drugs take affect?

Instantly? 1 minute? 5 minutes? 9 minutes 29 seconds?

I have read that he admitted to 'hooping' which I am given to understand is drug intake through the output so as to shorten the time taken to enter the bloodstream and intensify the high - and fentanyl is known to have a very small range between 'effective' and lethal

My understanding is that he consumed several times the amount necessary to be lethal.

No way. That couldn't have possibly caused his death.

 

[nonobaddog]

I am not convinced a jury is the best way to determine the cause of death, but that is kind of what this boils down to.

 

[Tombs]

If I remember right, he also tested positive for covid.
Funny how that's the cause of death for everyone, unless politics require it to be something else.

He tested positive for all sorts of things.

He must have caught covid from Chauvin don’t you know!

This didn't help either

Several of Floyd’s key heart arteries were severely narrowed – evidence of serious heart disease. Several were 75% blocked and one was 90% blocked, and that was made worse by where the clogs occurred in terms of crimping the supply of blood to his heart, Nelson said. Blockages of 70% or more usually cause chest pain, he added.
“That degree of narrowing is sufficient to cause death,” Davis said.
Floyd also had an enlarged heart — “48% bigger than it ought to be” — likely from his high blood pressure and heart disease, Nelson said.

Yes. Unfortunately, intelligence wasn't one of them.

Yes, where the blockages were located is extremely important. You can have blockages of 100% and not even realize it if it is in a small enough artery segment.

I was just watching Court TV where the officer had Floyd pinned down at the back of the squad car and I noticed a stream of water running down from the tailpipe. The squad car was running and Floyd was pinned down near the exhaust pipe, I wonder if he died from exfixiation from carbon monoxide?
Floyd said he couldn't breathe but how could he speak if he couldn't breathe unless he was breathing in carbon monoxide?
It seems to me that this should be pointed out to officials.

 

[actaeon277]

If he was breathing CO, he wouldn't know it.

 

[flightsimmer]

If he was breathing CO, he wouldn't know it.

That's what I'm getting at. If your breathing in carbon monoxide it would feel like you couldn't breathe.

 

[JCSR]

Floyd was a ticking timebomb. It wouldn't have taken much in his condition.

No mention of cyanosis in the autopsy

 

[flightsimmer]

No mention of cyanosis in the autopsy

Would they be looking for it?

 

[flightsimmer]

No mention of cyanosis in the autopsy

Maybe they saw no reason to look for it

 

[nonobaddog]

Cyanosis - if it existed - would be readily apparent even if they were not looking for it. It is a visible thing, hard to miss.
That being said, you don't get cyanosis from carbon monoxide poisoning.
