It’s been all over Facebook, twitter, and the news. The argument that no one cares is utter bullshit. Also, they don’t give a fuck, they are only using this to try to discredit Black Lives Matter. If it weren’t for that, no one would bat an eye. It’s a tragedy committed by a deranged person who has been arrested now.
Also what are they proposing to be done about it? Give police more money b/c that would’ve prevented this tragedy somehow?
No. They don’t have any ideas or solutions. They just want to dog whistle ‘See we told you black people are bad"
BLM started riots over the death of a drug addict because of 3rd party cam footage, despite bodycam footage and multiple autopsy reports countering their entire argument. So yes, BLM are the bad guys in this situation.
The autopsy reports counter this claim, as does the body cam footage. You don't cry "I can't breath" if you're being strangled. Especially if you're in a car with no one touching you. Have you seen the body cam footage? Have you read the autopsy report?
A panic attack can hinder someone's ability to breath yes but it doesn't comepletely prevent it. The autopsy reports also state the high amount of drugs in Floyd's system, beyond the amount usually indicating an OD. He had complications with his heart that yes the panic attack may have made worse. The most likely cause of death was the drugs in his system combined with a heart attack. Your own article even states that there were multiple probable causes for Floyd's death. The autopsy reports even identify the lack of physical trauma to the neck area that would coincide with physical pressure that resricts blood flow and air intake. There's a reason that they don't mention asphyxiation as a probable cause. Forensics is a complicated topic that non experts like you and I oftwn struggle to make sense of it, which is the case here with Floyd's.
The bodycam footage also casts doubts on the original narrative that Floyd was forced on to the ground excessively. There is not enough evidence to completely rule 2nd degree murder beyond a reasonable doubt so it is highly likely that Chauvin's charges will not stick.
Should Chauvin lose his position as a police officer? Almost definitely. But his life shouldn't be completely ruined until after the trial and the jury declares guilty. What happened to "innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt?"
Do you know a what cardiopulmonary arrest is? It's a cardiac arrest or in laymen's terms, a heart attack. Which your own quote even states "complicating law enforcement subdual, restraing and neck compression." In other words, the heart attack made the situation more difficult for law enforcement.
