The Justice Dept is (or used to be) very good at this sort of thing. So we can add the coroner's office to the PD and DA's office....
Coroners work too closely with the state police departments. A finding that's partial to the police is not surprising at all to most people, except Trump. As we can see, there all kinds of stupid, even among doctors.
"So Hennepin County has an incompetent medical examiner in addition to an incompetent prosecutor and a corrupt police force." Corrupt ass ****.
please show me anyone who would survive having someone press a knee on their neck for 9 minutes and live or not suffer significant brain damage due to lack of blood flow...especially when u have 2 other people compressing your abdominal cavity and lower body Idc if u have zero pre-existing health conditions...the outcome of a grown man doing something like that to another person is most likely death or that person becoming a vegetable
Ah how convenient that they found an independent examiner to side with them. What's next, independent toxicology shows he wasn't on anything either?
You’d have to be a staunch white supremacist to be even remotely surprised by the findings of the independent autopsy. I’ve noticed that even pro-law enforcement politicians, celebrities and “influencers” have condemned the death of Mr. Floyd.
how convenient that the cops had their own medical examiner side with them and try to discredit what everyone saw with their own 2 eyes
Regardless of the actual cause of death, the way the officer and his comrades acted was totally ridiculous and completely uncalled for. There was no reason for the officer to keep his knee on his neck that long and no reason for the other officers to not stop him.
his only evidence is that it doesn’t put the cops in a good light if the independent examiner echoed what the police ME found, he would’ve accepted it without hesitation
More facts coming out, as the Floyd family's autopsy differs from the official one. I'd still like to know what happened between 8:08 and 8:19. This doesn't mean the policeman didn't exert excessive force, because I think he did. I'd just like to see if there are any lessons learned for the future.
My right wing friends have now pivoted to claiming that this might have been staged. they’re not saying it was staged, just that it may have been. good chat
Let's assume something bad happened. Let's say Floyd called the cop an MF'er and spit on him. Does that give the officer a pass to keep a knee on his neck for almost 9 minutes including 2+ minutes after a fellow officer could not find a pulse? It is one thing for an officer to act in the spur of the moment and hit or shoot someone because of a threat or perceived threat. It is an entirely different thing to punish a man who has been restrained for almost 9 minutes, especially when you have officers with you. In what universe does whatever Floyd did justify his fate?
This is why conspiracy theories are so popular among the extremes, particularly the right.... just have to make it up.... Sandy Hook shooting.... crisis actors.
"Lessons Learned"... oh for F-cks sake. I can only imagine the smirk on your face knowing the coded language there you just had to throw in there. You'll throw a fake fit here, but we all know what you are insinuating.... that is if only black people would just be more respectful of our loving and protecting hero cops, then you wouldn't have to worry about being strangled to death for using a counterfeit 20. Anything short of Floyd using Morse Code to signal to a trigger man who was planning to set off a bomb at the Sear's Tower isn't warranted of being strangled to death. So respectfully you can take those "lessons learned" and shove them up your a$$.
