Other details are emerging.....
If you haven't been keeping up with the autopsy, etc., to no surprise it appears fake news struck again with this one.
It's impossible to tell the story of the George Floyd case without one thing - Drugs.
First of all, the entire context of the situation is the officers were responding to Floyd having a drug emergency. The 9-1-1 call said he was on something, and then when they got to him he was impossible to talk to or control enough due to the drugs that they couldn't get him in the car. They then got him on the ground and called an ambulance. The cops mentioned they were worried about "excited delirium" hence the need to physically restrain him. Much of this is described in the criminal complaint. In the video there are 4 mentions of drugs including lines like "What are you on?" by a cop, a bystander saying "He probably OD-d", and a cop saying to the crowd "This is why you don't do drugs kids". In short there is little doubt that the officers defense which is likely to be backed up by bodycams is that they restrained Floyd due to him being on drugs, at which point he had a heart attack and died.
The second key reason drugs are central to this case is the autopsy. Please note there is the autopsy that's going to count legally from the Hennepin County medical examiner, and then there is the "fake news" independent family version, the one where they hired the Epstein guy and he called it asphyxiation based strictly on the video. Ignore that version. Here is the real report

George Floyd died of a heart attack, with factors including pre-existing conditions, fentanyl and meth in his system, and the physical stress of Chauvin's abuse. Fentanyl is not just a deadly drug, but a drug where OD-ing is associated with breathing problems. According to the criminal complaint Floyd started saying "I can't breathe" when he was standing, which could be a sign his breathing problems had as much to do with the drug. The full autopsy came out today showing how much of each drug was in his system, and it was a "how much drugs can one person have in their bloodstream" situation - more than enough Fentanyl to kill you, meth, caffeine, and others. He also had coronavirus. Basically with that much drugs in him and a pre-existing heart condition the guy was asking for a heart attack. Considering he died of a heart attack and not asphyxiation, it's extremely believable this is his real cause of death, even if Chauvin's actions are still an example of police brutality.
I have seen the complete ignoring of Floyd being on drugs by not just the MSM but any liberal I've tried to point to this out to insane cognitive blindness levels. You simply cannot tell the story of Floyd's death without him being on drugs. You cannot describe what Chauvin's defense will be. To pretend otherwise is like trying to tell the story of Ahmaud Arbery without the burglary aspect or the McMichaels trying a citizens arrest. Anyone who doesn't include drugs in the narrative is not interested in the truth of what really happened. The guy died of a heart attack while having tons of drugs in his system, in a situation where the cops were waiting for an ambulance for his drug related emergency.
If/when the Chauvin case goes to court the drugs will obviously be at the center of his defense. He now has strong reasonable doubt since he can say there's no way you can prove my knee caused him the heart attack instead of the immense amount of drugs in his system combined with pre-existing condition. He can say Floyd was already having a heart attack before he even was put on the ground. And for that matter the knee on the neck move appears to be closer to being legal for Minneapolis police than the MSM is telling you. The best chance to convict Chauvin would be to get him for negligence for not doing more to help the dying Floyd and instead deciding to just keep kneeling on an unconscious/dead man's neck for some reason. Since the AG has been pressured into charging him 2nd degree murder like Zimmerman, it makes it much more likely that Chauvin will be acquitted leading to an even bigger series of riots if people are still completely in the dark of this side of the story.
