@vivify saidSurely you’re accused of something?
Sometimes the same act can fall into multiple categories, and a jury has to decide which one(s) they fit in.
In the Floyd case, it could be murder because the victim clearly said "I can't breathe", yet the cop continued to press his knee into the Floyd's neck for several minutes...even though Floyd was on the floor, handcuffed, and clearly complying with the officer. So it ...[text shortened]... dn't intend to kill the victim, but was simply being malicious in a way that ended up killing Floyd.
You can’t be accused of everything, stuff it into Schroedinger’s box and wait for some moron to observe.

You ever fight somebody high on drugs?

There you go a flippant answer to a flippantly irrelevant red herring question.
@kevcvs57 saidyou are all torn up about a drug abusing thief and no concern for the 7 year old child (among 27 other blacks) killed in chicago over the weekend. your façade is easy to see through.

Floyd's cause of death was a fentanyl overdose.
No, autopsy doesn’t say George Floyd died of overdose
Two autopsy reports said the manner of George Floyd’s death was a homicide. Neither said the cause of his death was a fentanyl overdose.
some conservative commentators have recycled debunked claims that the autopsies said Floyd died of a drug overdose.

@vivify saidcause of death was 'heart failure".

Medical examiner who ruled George Floyd's death a homicide blames police pressure for his death
@earl-of-trumps saidreasonable doubt is the requirement
Trying to take the objective path here...
George Floyd had fentanyl and methamphetamines in his system, as well as the Sars-Cov-2 virus.
There's the shadow of doubt *if* the jury is looking for one.

@shavixmir saidAn unqualified guess is he'll be found guilty of manslaughter.
Just make an unqualified guess then.
I mean, you do it on most other subjects too.

@dood111 saidGeorge Floyd's cause of death was the knee in his neck.
Floyd's cause of death was a fentanyl overdose.
So it doesn't matter whether Chauvin's knee was on his neck for nine minutes or nine weeks, he didn't kill him.
The wanton disregard for life.

@vivify said“ The autopsy report from Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office concludes the cause of death was "cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression." That conclusion, death due to heart failure, differs from the one reached by an independent examiner hired by the Floyd family; that report listed the cause of death as "asphyxiation from sustained pressure."”
