George Floyd was brutally murdered.
The findings of the world renowned Dr. Michael Baden and Dr. Allecia Wilson differ greatly from the autopsy results conducted by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s office last week. Baden was hired by the Floyd family to conduct the independent autopsy after the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled last week that Floyd hadn’t died from “strangulation or asphyxia.” Baden and Wilson say the sustained pressure applied by Derek Chauvin on George Floyd’s neck impeded blood flow to his brain, while weight applied by two other officers, who had placed their knees into his back, also limited his ability to breathe.
Baden criticized those findings Monday, pointing out that the emphasis the pressure on his neck may have had on his death wouldn’t show up in an autopsy because the pressure is released by the time body arrived at the examiner’s office.
Baden also refuted the idea that Floyd had coronary artery disease. In a comment in reference to his age group’s susceptibility to coronavirus, the 85-year-old said, ‘I wish I had the same coronary arteries that Mr. Floyd had.’

This horrific tragedy should have been averted. Officer Chauvin should not have been on the force.
The Floyd case has put the national spotlight back on Klobuchar’s days as a prosecutor, particularly as it became clear Derek Chauvin, the officer involved in Floyd’s death, was involved in the death of another citizen while Klobuchar was prosecutor. Chauvin was one of six officers who fired on and killed Wayne Reyes in 2006 after Reyes reportedly aimed a shotgun at police after stabbing his friend and girlfriend. While the death happened during Klobuchar’s tenure at the helm of the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office, the case did not go to a grand jury until after she left the office and became a senator.
Klobuchar did not criminally charge other police involved in the more than two dozen officer-involved fatalities that occurred during her time as prosecutor. She left those decisions to a grand jury, a practice that was common at the time. (more here)
Had Klobuchar pressed charges, Floyd would be alive today. Chauvin was a bad cop, violent and abusive with a long dossier of misconduct complaints and three killings already on his record. Cops such as Chauvin escape punishment. This is key question and calls for systemic reform.
Virtually every official in Minnesota with influence over the Minneapolis police and the decision to keep Derek Chauvin on the force despite his alarming record is a Democrat: the governor, the attorney general, the Minneapolis congresswoman and the mayor. The city council consists of 12 Democrats and a Green Party member. The Democrat Party is the “system” that protected the bad cop and led to George Floyd’s death. (more here)
Sadly, this is not the conversation we having. Instead, the violent riots and looting grabbed all the media headlines and the great cause of justice for Mr. Floyd has been drowned out by the cacophony of madness. Worse still, Floyd’s murder is being exploited to gin up hatred, division, insurrection.
George Floyd WAS murdered by Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin after knee on his neck ’caused asphyxia that led to lack of blood flow to brain’, says independent autopsy ordered by family

- Dr. Michael Baden and Dr. Allecia Wilson were hired by the Floyd family’s legal team to conduct the independent autopsy last week
- The pathologists say the sustained pressure applied by Officer Derek Chauvin on George Floyd’s neck impeded blood flow to his brain

George Floyd died of ‘asphyxiation from sustained pressure’ being applied to his neck and back by Officer Derek Chauvin and two other officers, an independent autopsy ordered by his family has found.
Attorney Ben Crump and co-counsel Antonio Romanucci, who are representing the family of George Floyd, announced the findings on Monday afternoon.
Dr. Michael Baden and Dr. Allecia Wilson were hired by the Floyd family to conduct the independent autopsy after the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled last week that Floyd hadn’t died from ‘strangulation or asphyxia’.
In contrast, Baden and Wilson say the sustained pressure applied by Derek Chauvin on George Floyd’s neck impeded blood flow to his brain, while weight applied by two other officers, who had placed their knees into his back, also limited his ability to breathe.
The pathologists cited Floyd’s cause of death as mechanical asphyxia, with the manner of his death ruled a homicide.
Crump and Romanucci called for Chauvin to be charged with first-degree murder, and also said the other three officers involved in the incident – J Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao – should be arrested as well, though didn’t specify on what charges.
‘They knew that they were applying restraints that could or would cause death,’ Romanucci said. ‘They are criminally liable because they knew what they were doing could lead to death.’
‘Not only was the knee on George’s neck a cause of his death, but so was the weight of the other two police officers on his back, who not only prevented blood flow into his brain but also air flow into his lungs,’ he continued.

‘Not only was the knee on George’s neck a cause of his death, but so was the weight of the other two police officers on his back, who not only prevented blood flow into his brain but also air flow into his lungs,’ he continued.
The findings of Baden and Wilson greatly differ from the ruling of an autopsy conducted by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s office on Floyd last week.
Their independent evaluation also found that Floyd had ‘no underlying medical problems that caused or contributed to his death,’ contrary to the rulings of the medical examiner.
‘This is confirmed by information from myself, from Dr. Wilson, and from the family,’ Baden said. ‘[Mr. Floyd] was in good health.’
The county’s autopsy found ‘no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation.’ The report also said Floyd had underlying health conditions, including coronary artery disease and hypertensive heart disease
In conclusion, the examiner suggested Floyd likely died from a combination of his underlying health conditions and potential intoxicants in his system that were exacerbated by the restraint placed on him by police officers.
Baden criticized those findings Monday, pointing out that the emphasis the pressure on his neck may have had on his death wouldn’t show up in an autopsy because the pressure is released by the time body arrived at the examiner’s office.
‘The compressive pressure on the neck are not seen at autopsy because the pressure is released by the time the body has come to the medical office,’ Baden said. ‘It can only be seen when the pressure is being applied – or in this instance in the video.’
He continued: ‘Pressure on the neck can interfere with blood flow and oxygen going to the brain, and pressure to the back interferes with breathing.’
Baden also refuted the idea that Floyd had coronary artery disease. In a comment in reference to his age group’s susceptibility to coronavirus, the 85-year-old said, ‘I wish I had the same coronary arteries that Mr. Floyd had.’
Floyd’s family had disputed the county medical examiner’s findings last week, calling notions he had any underlying health conditions ‘an illusion’.
‘The family and I reject this notion from the Minneapolis Medical Examiner that the knee from the police officer on George’s neck for almost nine minutes was not the proximate cause of his death,’ the Floyd family’s lawyer, Ben Crump said in a statement over the weekend.
‘The family does not trust anything coming from the Minneapolis Police Department. How can they?’ attorney Ben Crump said. ‘We already saw the truth.’
Crump and S. Lee Merritt revealed in a press conference Friday that they had called on renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden to conduct an independent autopsy instead of the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s office.
Dr. Baden previously conducted a separate autopsy on Eric Garner, whose death in 2014 while being placed in an unauthorized chokehold by NYPD Officer Daniel Panteleo was also captured on video. Panteleo wasn’t criminally charged but was fired from the police force in 2019.
Dr. Baden also previously conducted an autopsy on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that suggested he may have been murdered, in addition to testifying at the OJ Simpson murder trial.
On Sunday night, Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo said all four of the officer’s involved in Floyd’s arrest are ‘complicit’ in his death.
In the days since, protests erupted in Minneapolis before spreading to the White House, New York City and to numerous other states across the weekend.
Crump and Floyd’s family have said people should continue protesting, but urged them to refrain from using violence or looting as George Floyd was ‘a man of peace’.
George Floyd’s younger brother, Terrence Floyd, appeared on Good Morning America on Monday, calling for the ‘destructive unity to end’.
Terrence said his brother ‘was about peace’ and believes the violence happening during demonstrations is ‘overshadowing’ Floyd’s memory.

May or may not be true, but an investigation ordered by the family doesn’t sound very independent.
If I’m writing the check, I’m getting the result I’m paying for.
Maybe Baden is a bit biased but he has a lots of experience and on one side he was paid by Epstein family but he concluded it’s murder not suicide.
On the contrary, I don’t think George Floyd commited suicide so…
anyway, even if George Floyd was a weak ass criminal thug with a low life expectancy (peace be upon him lol), the asphyxia by the cops finished him quickly, so it is manslaughter plain and simple (not murder)
if the leftist anarchist thugs in prison weren’t freed by the democrats, the situation would be a bit better now
Probably, but I’ll reserve opinion until something official comes out.
sure! Then it is gonna be the cops trial… many months, years. At least later than NOV 3rd
The democrats will try to exploit the stuff till the election
That’s it. When Democrats burn down this many minority-owned businesses, their concern for one life rings hollow.
The official autopsy claimed heart condition. I tend to think it is correct. Heart attacks often have the victim complaining they can’t breathe. Remember Garner??
Murder involves PRE MEDITATION….so you are suggesting the cops conspired to hunt down Floyd and kill him? Use a legal dictionary will you. And since when did you know everything there is to know about this event to make an adjudication of “murder plain and simple?” Be damned the 5th and 6th Amendments.
excuse my Russian, manslaughter then
And the fact remains that he was a low life druggie trying to pass a counterfeit $20 bill.
You’re a twit.. no one deserves to die for being less than virtuous. Now do one ya fool
What are you doing in this thread you whiny ass crybaby? You better stay off the net because you can’t handle truth.
Are you a man or a fan knee keyboard warrior.. Don’t answer, I can smell your talc and piss from here
Go play in traffic, troll.
and a girl who wants the last word..
You are probably right, but we are very stupid if we allow police to act this way. There is a proper balance. I do think the people ought to ditch liberal justices that do not insist on correction for crimes they consider petty.
Go play in traffic, troll.
That would not have caused the store to call the cops. Bet Floyd threatened the store clerk.
I do not think that comes with a death sentence. Not only that, counterfeiting is a Federal crime, not the jurisdiction of Minneapolis PD.
But that charge goes both ways. The police coroner is working for the police and may not be independent. Having said that, if he was also involved in other high profile cases like Eric Gardner and OJ Simpson… I think that is cause to wonder.
Garner,Eric Fugging Garner,you dope!
So… I mis-remembered the spelling of the guys name…
But my point is still that either party can distrust the results of the other and say their party’s investigator is biased… “their report is bought and paid for so what other results do you expect” applies to both investigators.
Having said that, i tend to believe the coroner’s report over a celebrity doctor looking to make a buck from the situation.
Wait,you’re trying to finesse the brutal murder of George Floyd?
Clear out your locker and get the puck out of here you maniac.
That was straight up murder. There is no way around it, based on the video. Even if the guy was arrested, you are still innocent until proven guilty in this country. Or, does that not matter. How does an alleged resisting arrest, justify killing someone.
Please post the video on George Floyd fighting the cops or a link to it.
If you don’t think that is murder, you should take a hard look within. I suppose if one of your family were under the knee of an officer in a similar fashion, you would be ok with it?
So what if he was fighting with the cops. What has that got to do with anything. If you knew anything about police protocol, you’d know that once a person is restrained, it’s hands off, as far as doing anything to that suspect. What the cops can do at that point, is extremely limited. So, why are you ok with a cop committing blatant murder. ON VIDEO? Is it because everyone to you who is arrested by the cops is automatically guilty and deserves what they get? Mr. Floyd had it coming, right? Because he was ‘fighting with the cops.’ And yes, I’m concerned with his death, because it was murder committed by an officer of the law. That makes it particularly egregious.
You’re a scumbag who condones murder. Let’s see how much of a “non-issue” it would be if one of your family members were under a knee like that. I really don’t care what you think of my “sentiment.” You values are so screwed up, you can’t even recognize murder when it’s staring you on the face. That’s a hell of a way to live your life.
And btw, you are also a disgusting little rat posing as a moral compass woe-ing about this Uncle Floyd nobody, while obviously not giving a crap about all the victims who lost their lives and property to the rampaging n1gg3rs and friends.. You are the biggest piece of shyte on this whole site.. f’n demon, KYS

For your information, I do not support the looting, whatsoever. Or, is your limited mind not capable of processing that.
Deflect. That’s what you people do when you can’t address the issue, with your extremely limited reasoning skills. It’s obvious you have a deep seated hatred for black people. Keep that up. See how far that gets you.
I used to know a guy from Eritrea with a degree in mathematics. He once told me, point blank, don’t confuse THEIR culture with mine. He had endured persecution at the hands of the muslum scum who run Eritrea. His uncle was murdered by muslums in broad daylight and the all muslum law enforcement did nothing about it, because the murderers were fellow f’ing muslums.
How are things in your part of Los Diablos? One of my friends lives in the Fairfax district he was worried the fires would spread to his neighborhood. It looks like the scum are coming to OC to “protest” as well. Why anyone would want to protest at any empty shopping mall is anyone’s guess but I’m thinking looting was more their goal than protesting.
I’m just north of lala land now. Though I do venture into that land of ‘Los Diablos’ frequently. I didn’t see anything last week when I went.
I’m sure your friend in the Fairfax District has seen a lot of “activity.” It’s a busy area. Something tells me OC won’t be as tolerant as lala land is when the degenerates come to “protest” there?
I don’t know about that, dem0nrats have made their rotten degeneracy a part of OC’s political and cultural landscape.
I have to get out of this state, but with the bad rep Californicators have what state would take me?
At this point why does it matter a certain politician said.
If Floyd had complied with the officers he would be alive right now.
Even if he hadn’t complied, does that justify his murder?
Of course not. But he bears part of the blame.
He was restrained, that meant, hands off as far as the officers were concerned. Every cop is taught that. His offense for being arrested, or his previous record aside, he had no responsibility for his own death. And those other officers who stood around watching their colleague kill a man and did nothing to stop him, are just as complicit.
I don’t condone his murder. Neither do I condone his actions that put him in harms way. Enough said.
You have to wonder why a video isn’t being shown on that.
I’d like to see that. The cop had a body cam on.
Why not show that too?
You have to wonder why people don’t want to see a white cop guilty of murder?
Dr. Baden says Jeffrey Epstein autopsy
‘more indicative of homicide’ after graphic photos surface
By Talia Kaplan

https://www.foxnews.com/media/michael-baden-jeffrey-epstein-autopsy-graphic-photos-cell
I don’t have a monopoly on truth but I didn’t need an autopsy to point that out. BTW any news on the investigation? Is Prince Andrew the scape goat for the Clinton’s and other powerful people like Bill Gates who also visited orge island? They have Epsteisn diary and little black book. It seems to have faded away….
A large percentage of the black community is incareated but that doesn’t mean there can’t be exceptions. I’d like to see video of him resisting arrest. A foot on the neck didn’t help and you can see him go limp on the video and still the cop didn’t remove his foot. This particular cop has had other complaints…
There won’t be another man like Mr. Marley although his sons have some of his singing abilities they can’t write songs like he could. Jamaica is a hot mess…
Democrats manufacture the images of injustice and the people that they use in riots. They have been using every conceivable tool to smear the name of free people, crush the prosperity of free people, steal the dreams of free people, and slowly murder us, for well over a century. This madness shifted into high gear when Hillary lost because she wasn’t supposed to lose, she was supposed to finish us off.
Derek Chauvin could be a hot headed cop and maybe a racist cop. I can’t justify his foot on Floyd’s neck like that….and even when Floyd went limp, it didn’t appear to bother Chauvin.
A deeper look at the four officers fired after George Floyd death
By Jennifer Bjorhus Star Tribune JUNE 1, 2020 — 12:27AM
(I’ll skip his wife’s complaints about him.)
…
According to the former owner Maya Santamaria, Chauvin worked the club most weekends for about 16 years and “really became my main guy here.”
For about a year, George Floyd also worked security at the club, but she said she doesn’t think Floyd and Chauvin crossed paths.
She and Chauvin were friends, she said. But customers did complain about him, she said. Chauvin was quick to get hard core, Santamaria said, and was uneasy with the crowds on “Twerk Fest Tuesdays” when the club catered to more black patrons.
“I’ve seen him in action and I’ve seen him lose it and I’ve called him out on it before,” she said. “I’ve told him it’s unnecessary and unjustified some of the ways that he behaves. He just loses it.”
…
Chauvin’s work history at the Minneapolis Police Department includes more than 15 conduct complaints over his 19 years with the department.
Almost all the complaints were closed without discipline, police internal affairs records show, suggesting the allegations weren’t sustained. The nature of the complaints wasn’t made public.
…

He was resisting arrest; that often ends badly.
He was unhealthy because of bad lifestyle choices.
He appears to be plastered at the time of his arrest.
You don’t want anything to do with a 46 year-old drunk black male.
There is a wall-to-wall blackout on whatever kind of attack and assault he perpetrated against the officer while being taken to the car or once inside the car. Apparently he was fighting, kicking, spitting, who knows.
We aren’t allowed to hear the other side of the story. We’re getting the anti-America propaganda narrative shoved down out throat by a nation hell bent on committing suicide right now.
The death of one old drunk is now decidedly meaningless in the context of this nationwide race riot and looting spree.
The root cause of him passing counterfeit money and millions thrown out of work and out of money overnight in an historically bad decision, if not a conspiracy to decimate our economy, is decades of corrupt Liberal/Leftist cronies.
If no one, including absolutely no one in authority, disagrees that this was horrific, what is there to protest? Can we at least start there? If the United States is so horrible, so horrific to poc, there is a solution: leave. I’m not saying anyone should or must. But if there is no solution in their minds and they think the U.S. is utterly irredeemable, then shouldn’t they, logically, seek somewhere else that is better for them? Why do poc keep seeking to come here otherwise if we are so filled with white supremacy? The last I checked, the worst thing you could possibly be in America is a white male. Ask any white liberal woman- they will agree wholeheartedly, unfortunately.
THIS is Satan’s way of getting even with GOOD AND RIGHTEOUSNESS. Start with the Garden of Eden. Satan came as a serpent to try and destroy what God had made. Satan IS THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, DESTRUCTION, AND EVIL, period. When you UNDERSTAND THAT, then when you look at people you will know who they really are AND WHAT SIDE THEY ARE ON (God’s or Satan’s) by their actions. IF actions speak louder than words, THEN LOOK AT WHERE THE MAYHEM IS COMING FROM. ACTIONS OF EVIL PEOPLE, NOT GOOD.
Even the people WHO STAND BACK AND DO NOTHING, who are in leadership position and law enforcement, HAVE A DIFFERENT KIND OF EVIL. It is called MISPLACED COMPASSION, which also comes from SATAN.
First, you get a useful idiot to publicly hurt someone, especially someone in a minority group. Then, OTHER USEFUL IDIOTS will do your bidding by destroying everything around them. Not only that, THEN they will want good and righteous people to REBUILD FOR THEM. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT EVIL DOES AND WILL ALWAYS DO BECAUSE THEY ARE EVIL, HAVE NO COMMON SENSE, NO WISDOM, AND CERTAINLY NO RIGHTEOUSNESS.
I suggest we find a remote ISLAND somewhere and put these GUILTY useful idiots on it AWAY FROM A GOOD SOCIETY, for a few years.
This WHITE ex-LIBERAL WOMAN awoke one day and now I have WISDOM. I get my wisdom from GOD, not popular opinion OR the female side.
Therefore, some white liberal female friends I know will NOT agree with you. ONLY THE LOUDEST VOICES WHO GET HEARD, even if those loud voices are WRONG, just like the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
I IGNORE THE PUNDITS AND THE LOUDEST PUNKS IN THE ROOM. I think for myself……………….NOW.

I am in a state of psychological torment because I am simultaneously not guilty of anything and yet I am forever guilty according to the Democratic Socialist Media which has judged me guilty because of my politics for decades (before Trump). I am damned by my skin color daily by people who claim they are damned by theirs. If I could viciously, and bloodily scrub off my whiteness and so be more acceptable to them, I would. I hate my skin color. I wish I was born with more melanin. We aren’t equal, are we? My skin is definitely a deficiency according to them.
“If I could viciously, and bloodily scrub off my whiteness and so be more acceptable to them, I would.”
YOU NEED TO ACCEPT WHO YOU ARE. You are NOT the problem. THOSE PEOPLE who cannot accept you BECAUSE of the color of your skin, HAVE THE PROBLEMS.
I AM WHITE AND I WILL NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR IT. For one, I was born this way. Two, I do not believe I am privileged because of it. 3, I am a Christian FIRST and therefore, I treat all races the same UNTIL they stop treating ME the same. THEN, I shake the dust off my feet if they do not accept me and what I believe, meaning, I MOVE ON TO SOMEONE WITH MORE INTELLIGENCE AND WISDOM.
LIBERALS and fools everywhere will always try to TAKE YOUR CONTROL AWAY FROM YOU. That IS ALL THEY HAVE because wisdom is not one of them.
When I worked as a Texas correctional officer, we were taught to never place a subject with restraints on their sides or stomach for any length of time due to the danger of “positional asphyxia”, as happened to Mr. Floyd.
What the Minneapolis cop did is neither taught nor condoned.
Did he resist arrest? Did he continue to resist arrest? If so, there is no black and white line. Some police are thugs but what a fool to give the Left just what trey wanted. It would be Interesting to know his politics in a democrat police force, in a democrat city. in a democrat state. Funny that! Rather convenient. Just like CV 19: another antiTrump attack.
I would be interested to know who exactly paid for the new autopsy and what are the political connections of those who performed it, before I believe it.
I would like to read the comments of those co-authors here, after they survived the knee of a probably 85kg man on the side of their necks for whole 9 min, plus the weights of 2 probably 85kg heavy men kneeing on their thoraxes.
Certainly the victim did not suffer by underlying medical problems that caused or contributed to his death, which can still be proved by any third expert.
Furthermore:
to mention “that he was a low life druggie trying to pass a counterfeit $20 bill” is a despicable insertion insinuating to shift at least a part of the responsibility from the murderers to the poor victim, and to devaluate his life.
The murdered man is a human being – isn’t it ?
“The murdered man is a human being – isn’t it ?”
So, George was an IT?

I guess American English is still ENGLISH – isn’t it ?
inch pincher
If you cannot breathe you cannot talk either, perhaps if he had not been so vocal the cops would have let up on him. I am not excusing the cop at all, everybody knows choke holds cause loss of consciousness. It is my understanding they are forbidden
Wanna bet if I HIRED someone I could get an opinion that Ming from Mongo strangled him?
It’s obvious he was murdered. When they put him in the ambulance he was already limp and dead. In the ambulance they tried to bring him back and couldn’t. That’s what the ambulance people stated. His brain was deprived of oxygen and then his heart failed. The only thing left to look at is the toxicology report. When the cop didn’t let up his foot it became 1st degree murder.
Whether the officer meant to kill him or not, it is really difficult to shut off the air passages by pressing on the SIDE of the neck. He was on his stomach with his cheek on the ground. Get a friend and see for yourself. Seriously, the best he could do from there would be to block one carotid artery. Having his weight spread between the neck and the back also makes it very unlikely that he asphyxiated the man. A child, yes, A small man or woman, maybe. That big man, very unlikely. I would also remind you that it takes about 10 minutes for brain death from asphyxiation. As Floyd was able to breathe enough to complain about not being able to breathe for at least 5 minutes you now have to include the EMT crew as not attempting resuscitation as part of the murder charges.
We need to start remembering that heart issues also have the symptoms of not being able to breathe as the blood isn’t flowing and providing the oxygen. Yeah, the police departments need to give their officers a lot more training on these types of conditions so they don’t simply ASSume the person is just trying to get away from them. I remember the whole Garner fiasco very well. Wrestlers confirmed the officer was NOT using a chokehold.
THIS kind of action by a Cop IS NOT WARRANTED, EVER. It doesn’t matter whether the Cop directly or indirectly caused the death of this man, IT WAS WRONG 200% TO TREAT ANOTHER AMERICAN THIS WAY! He was already handcuffed and down.
This cop was evil. It has nothing to do with his race. There is evil in every organization! And, when you retain and/or keep these evil people in your organization, you create CRACKS/FLAWS in that organization.
Sooner or later, people WILL NOT SEE THE GOOD YOU DO. THEY WILL ONLY SEE THE EVIL PEOPLE WHO HAVE IGNORED THAT GOOD. Therefore, they will destroy the entire organization.
Long past time to let blacks police blacks. Zero white officers in black areas or dealing with blacks. Sort of like the way they will get a woman officer to deal with a woman. At this point people have got to be sick to death of hearing about blacks and all their problems. Oh sure, destroy America to try to appease the blacks, but that won’t work. Whites could all commit hari kari in a giant mass event leaving this world with everything left behind for the blacks and then the blacks would just curse the whites for leaving them without someone to take care of them. This has got to end soon. For black men is not manly at all to keep crying about boogie man whites, is just has to stop.
Check the crime statistics, check the school records, blacks are a huge problem and IT IS NOT THE FAULT OF WHITE PEOPLE OR SO-CALLED RACISM.
So, the county medical examiner also tried to cover up the murder. He needs to be charged, also.
no fentanyl in his system? no heart attack?
They were looking for the physical cause of death, not toxicology.
I have little trust in what a county medical examiner puts on an autopsy report. He could have said the victim died of natural causes, a heart attack, brought on by a .38 caliber piece of lead passing through the left ventricle..
He was targeted and assassinated.
A good defense attorney will eat the prosecutor alive.
Lawyer Crump is a fame whore who stood with the family of Trayvon Martin and got somebody to arrest the guy who killed their son after he attacked somebody. He got a murder charge, but it was a blatant case of self-defense, and the “Not Guilty” verdict managed to outrage every black person on the planet: Crump, the rabble-rouser. I feel sorry for George Floyd. I feel bad for his family. I also have to look at it in context, and he was refusing to get in a patrol car after he was arrested for passing funny money. Now, looking for him is impossible. The view is blocked by rioters who would prefer to run wild in the streets than protest peacefully in the city where this killing occurred. Protesting in a peaceful town or city is as silly as looking for something, finding it, and then still looking for it. It does not make sense.
I really tihnk that at this time in his life Baden is just a paid hack.
And a lovely young Australian girl, Justine Ruszczyk was MURDERED by a BLACK PET MUSLIM COP in the same city! The riots, lootings and burnings by the “White Lives Matter” side went on for weeks and NOT ONE BLACK MAN got up and apologized for that COLD BLOODED MURDER! What’s wrong with this picture?
You get what you pay for.
Tony Timpa, just another white supremacist I guess, got what he deserved for being such a racist white. (Look it up.)
He is s dirty cop, period. He and his fellow MN police officers were kneeling on necks for a while now, and it is not a typical law enforcement tactic. I am a conservative, we need to hold a higher standard than the lying Lib’s. This discussion should be about how to fix this police department.
