    So the police were responsible for the death. OFFICIALLY.

    Those are the facts we have now.

    You left out the part where the ME ruled it a homicide. Why is that?

    Guess what? The cop who had 18 previous complaints against him and his 3 accomplices just committed murder.

    Floyd wasn’t perfect, yeah, we already knew that dummy.

    Trolls are trolls I know but what draws the line is when they use white nationalists talking points to troll. Despicable

    these people will bring up everything under the sun to try and justify a person’s murder, but include some blanket statement like “not excusing the cop” thinking we won’t see through their BS

    @astros99 really isn’t smart

    How do chokeholds work in MMA? You choke off the carotids until the person passes out.


    What happens if you continue to starve the brain of oxygen? Death.

    It never took a medical examiner to figure this out...

    Ref calls it or player taps out. You have to let go if either of those things happen.

    "Maybe we were a bit excessive in strangling @Mr. Space City to death because he had a broken tail light... but, in our defense, he illegally downloaded 13 songs off BearShare in 2003 and made his own CD."

    Given the entire history of our country, I'm sad to say I think it's completely believable. But here's something encouraging...

    Last night I was watching CNN interviewing the Floyd family, then cutting away to interview with the Minneapolis police chief, then going back to the family to see if they could broker a conversation.

    The family sent a question to the chief, asking when the other three officers were going to be arrested and charged. He briefly explained the need to make an ironclad case so they don't get off on a technicality and then he said something extraordinary.

    He sent a message back to the family, saying that any cop that saw what happened and didn't say anything or act to prevent it was, in his eyes, as complicit as the cop that killed Floyd. That wasn't good enough for the family and I understand that.

    But the anchor (can't remember who it was) pointed out that he'd never heard a police chief make a comment like that and didn't think it had ever happened before, because he would have to take the stand and that statement was on video and would be admissible in court. And he would be impeachable if he were to go back on it in any way.

    In other words, in the eyes of the Minneapolis police chief, all four cops are equally complicit in the killing of Floyd. GOOD. That's a start.

    As soon as I heard the report of the findings of the autopsy commissioned I knew people would be saying that the two autopsies were conflicting and that one of them would be lying. I haven't read the whole autopsy reports but from what I've seen I don't see them as being that much in conflict. The problem is that a continued misunderstanding of what is meant by "chokehold" These type of techniques don't actually cut off the air supply to the body which is why you can still hear Floyd talking. They cut off the blood supply to the brain and put pressure on the spine. So it is correct that Floyd didn't die of strangulation as in loss of oxygen coming down the windpipe but asphyxiation as in loss of oxygen to the brain.

    Also the player passes out. In those instances if your opponent goes limp you're supposed to let go of him right away and signal the ref that your opponent is out.

    Bottomline is you're not supposed to keep the technique on for 9+ minutes.
