Making claims to the contrary is a pretty good indicator of ones media diet...
Funny you say that, the "OD killed George Floyd" theory was floated by "No reasonable viewer takes him seriously" Tucker Carlson.
He literally had OD levels of fentanyl and meth in his system, a half chewed speedball pill was found in the cop car he was in, and he had eaten all the drugs he had on his person in prior arrest videos.
He wasn't killed by anyone but himself
Of course your right, two medical examiners are wrong. He was just about to drop dead from the "overdose levels" of drugs in his system before that cop knelt on his neck for 9 1/2 minutes. George Floyd was no saint, but that doesn't make his death any less of a murder.
Question for you. At what point did Floyd start saying he couldn't breathe?
A: while he was still getting into the cop car, before he asked to lie on the ground? B: as he was being detained on the ground?
Hint: the answer is A
OK, so Chauvin knew Floyd was having breathing difficulty and still decided to kneel on his neck well after he became motionless, well after he was handcuffed and prone. What is your argument here?
