    Interesting development in the Floyd case, as new video evidence has emerged.

    Floyds autopsy found high levels of fentanyl, as well as methamphetamine in his system.

    If charges are dropped, or the officers acquitted I'd expect there to be widespread rioting and looting, not unlike what we see from antifa/blm lately.

    I wonder how long from the time he swallowed the dope till the time of death? While I'm sure the knee was no help, it may very well be the cause of death. How long would a fatal dose take to kick in?

    Fentanyl is damn near instantaneous. Cops can OD on it within minutes just through skin contact via handling contaminated paraphenalia. Floyd was dead before he hit the ground.

    That would depend on a number of factors so its hard to say.

    Sadly it also would explain why the "compliance" moves from the police were less than effective-he probably wasn't feeling pain.

    The person who will be prosecuting these officers is MN AG Keith Ellison. He is a radical progressive Marxist socialist. During his time in Congress he was part of the pack of Democrats who were demanding impeachment in President Trump's first months of office. He believes the 2nd Amendment should be deleted even if there aren't enough votes to amend the Constitution. And he rants about LGBT rights yet hes also a proud member of the Nation of Islam hate group which regularly targets LGBT, additionally Jews Whites Christians and pretty much anyone else who isn't a Black Muslim.

    Point is: there will be no dropping of these charges under any circumstances so long as it is Ellison's call. In his mind these officers are already guilty of premeditated hate crime felony murder 1 and the trial is simply an exercise to stack 12 BLM radicals in the jury without being noticed.

    That is not accurate

    How quickly the effects of a drug occur depend on how the drug enters the bloodstream. Whether one is smoking, snorting, shooting, ingesting, or even consuming through the pores of the skin(percutaneous absorption), they are all different entries to the same destination, which is the bloodstream. Among these methods of taking drugs, absorption and ingestion are among the slowest

    The quickest method is to shoot the drug directly into the bloodstream

    Yes. It is most certainly accurate. Injection is instant, ingestion takes mere minutes, and absorption about 5-10 min but is a more metered delivery. Fentanyl is so many times more powerful than other drugs its almost unbelievable. Here is a comparison of lethal doses of heroin and fentanyl.

    Yep, yep, and, yep. The moment this became political any evidence of innocence is now irrelevant, convictions MUST be had to serve a political agenda, "Justice" be damned. Some great old movies were devoted to this very subject, maybe in a generation or two this will become one.

    So basically what we are hearing is that Floyd would have dropped dead while he was driving down the road, the knee in his neck was really no factor in his death. Smfh.

    It would be impossible to apply pressure to an artery with your knee on the back of someone's neck.

    Of course it wasn't.

    To cut off blood flow by putting pressure on an artery, the pressure would need to be applied to the front of the throat where the artery actually is.

    That is because his knee wasn't on the back of his neck.

    The arteries are actually in the side of the neck.

    Yes. You are exactly right. Had Floyd simply been released his heart would have stopped within about 15 minutes give or take. The effects of the drug would have been evident within less than 5 min of ingestion. That is what an overdose of Fentanyl actually does to the human body.

    The scenario makes perfect sense. If Floyd was caught with the drugs he would have been sent back to prison for a long time. So its reasonable to assume he took them even with the risk of overdose to avoid jail time.

    The only thing that would have saved his life after he took a 2x lethal dose of fentanyl would have been a shot Naloxone to restore his breathing and cardiac function.

    Of course there was nothing in the autopsy report to show the artery in the neck had been compressed in spite of your narrative and wishful thinking.
    I understand though, it is going to be a real tough pill for you on the left to swallow.....so many buildings burned, lives lost, people maimed for life, due to the actions of one drug induced homie! How you going to make it actually count for something?

    whats being stated is that floyd swallowed alot of drugs before the cops could find it. thats a plausible explanation worthy of thought.

    The jury will probably be insulted by the argument “he woulda died anyway” as an excuse for gross disregard by the cop for the man screaming he couldn’t breath from the choke hold knee on the throat.

    And that disregard by the cop, followed by no sign of remorse afterwards, and then a lame excuse offered by an attorney, will probably incite the jury to recommend a life sentence without the possibility of parole.

    There are fast routes that would be consistent with holding a lethal dose in the mouth-trans buccal and sublingual absorption.

    It looked like the knee was on the side of the neck where the coroted artery runs. If the knee was on the back of the head that would mean that Floyd's face was flat that is not good for breathing. Even a knee on someone's Adam's apple is not good. Bottom line is that a knee pressing down on any part of the neck is not good for breathing.
    Good post Superbad, good post.

    Attorneys file to dismiss charges often so let's see what develops.

    I am not an expert on the side effects of fentanyl but shallow breathing is one side effect. It cause breathing with little chest movement. So someone on fentanyl needs an unobstructed neck breathe.

    So we have an argument as to what killed him , fentanyl or a knee.
    The defense attorney says femtanyl, prosecutor says knee. Was it both so we will have to argue which was most detrimental to breathing. The drug or the knee.
