You mean BLM and their preconceived notions?
I ask you again, how exactly did the cop kill Floyd? There was no asphyxiation.

The consensus of experts at the trial said it was likely asphyxiation.

Quote:Chief Hennepin County Medical Examiner Dr. Andrew Baker concluded George Floyd likely died from a fentanyl overdose and found “no physical evidence suggesting” that he died of asphyxiation.

Not during the trial.
Baker concluded that Floyd's death was a homicide — which as a forensic pathologist he explained means that someone else was involved in the death, not necessarily that it was criminal.
Blackwell asked how it was the subdual, restraint and neck compression caused Floyd's death.
Baker explained that Floyd had severe underlying heart disease. Floyd also had hypertensive heart disease, Baker said, "which means that his heart weighed more than it should."
"So he has a heart that already needs more oxygen than a normal heart, by virtue of its size. And it's limited in its ability to step up to provide more oxygen when there's demand, because of the narrowing of his coronary arteries," Baker said.
Dr. Andrew Baker, the Hennepin County medical examiner, testifies Friday on the cause and manner of George Floyd's death.

"Now in the context of an altercation with other people that involves things like physical restraint, that involves things like being held to the ground, that involves things like the pain you would incur from having your cheek up against the asphalt, an abrasion on your shoulder – those events are going to cause stress hormones to pour out into your body, specifically things like adrenaline," Baker continued. "And what that adrenaline is going to do is it's going to ask your heart to beat faster. It's going to ask your body for more oxygen so that you can get through that altercation."

There were no abrasions.
He could have been sitting in a nice air-conditioned car but instead fought and resisted even while the cops went out-of-their-way to accommodate him by putting him in his preferred position on concrete. Obviously it was he who was getting all worked up and straining his heart.
It is obvious he brought absolutely everything on his ownself. That is my final word on Floyd.
