During testimony in the Derek Chauvin trial, Dr. William Smock, who is the police surgeon at the Louisville Metro Police Department said that George Floyd died of positional asphyxia. He called it “a fancy way of saying he died because he had no oxygen left in his body.â€ÂÂ

Police Surgeon Says George Floyd ‘Died Because He Had No Oxygen Left In His Body’ | NBC News NOW
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hitler 😀
So sad and so wrong… We are supposed to trust the police. I pray for the family the lord will judge those in the end… God bless you all prayrrs are with you
Man is this guy trying to hold on to the last bit of hair he has or what he has a one strand comb over
I got bashed up by the British Cops for no reason and and they all close ranks and you get no justice. By the way I am a White British woman living in the UK and I was 74yrs old at the time of the 'attack'. My heart breaks for the suffering of the Black Americans and their families. Stay strong ,Justice must prevail …some day .
The cop was so excited of his acts and forgot that his stupidity killed a human being and was showing off to the public that he is a superior , and sending a message that anyone could be like Floyd on the ground under cops knees . Text book narcissistic very ðŸ˜â€Â
Glad some people can see beyond this doctor's hail marry attempt at a comb over.
Any money chauvin walks…..that’s America….land of the free,,,,no,,,if you black it isn’t….I’m so grateful I left when I did….your country is a laughing stock and a disgrace
Don’t bring no justice he’s dead
Can someone tell the Defence that those pictures or videos he is showing in his closing remarks is Reminding us how the DC( deadly cop ) killed George Floyds please
Even if someone has a deadly medical condition and is full of deadly drugs, IT IS STILL WRONG FOR ANYONE TO KNEEL ON SOMEONE'S NECK, ESPECIALLY IF THAT SOMEONE IS HANDCUFFED AND DOWN ON THE GROUND!!!
Of course, he could only breath out he couldn't get air in his lungs. With 3 people on top of you 1 being on your neck and one being on your back no one would have survived that idc what anyone says. And it all was uncalled for, they used force for no reason.
Very SIMPLE SOLUTION folks!
If you live your life not committing crimes and comply with police then you have virtually NO CHANCE of ever being injured or killed by police!! Wake Up America!!!!
They said he died because of a lack of oxygen no s***
Its a shitshow for sure. If anyone has ever spent months on a jury as i have u will know how much BS is goin on backstage. Justice in a courtroom is nearly impossible due to all the paid liars and biased judges that slip notes to the deliberation room telling jurors how answers should be arrived at. Its a shitshow!!!
Yup No OXYGEN….
98% oxygen in his blood though
Even if the man was a serial killer, the police officer's are'nt much better either, if george floyd was related to the defense or jury; they would have been as gutted as we are today.. god see and know's i wont rest until i see derek chauvin goes to prison. I would have been surprised, if Chauvin was not to was to be sentance. U thought u were going to get away..but god is not SLEEPING….
I predict that Chauvin will get a mistrial or acquittal through some juror who gets into the jury who follows the ultra-right, racist teachings of our former president. The same will happen with the police officers who apparently just executed Adam Toledo after he was raising his hands and thus posed no threat — at least up to the time when the video was stopped, since the actual shooting was apparently cut out of the video. It would have probably been too incriminating to those police officers.
Like Mr. Floyd, Adam Toledo did not pose any threat when he was shot by the police. He was raising his hands in the last scene of the video online! The whole video seems to be unavailable online. The video seems to stop when he raises his hands and before he is shot.
I think it unlikely that he would have posed a threat after raising his hands. This looks like another execution of a member of a hated minority group by racist, fat policemen who might have been angry that he ran, and they had to chase after him.
Sadly, the most powerful groups like the idea of members of despised minorities getting shot, which is why powerful handguns are issued to police and their use is encouraged. In other countries, like the UK, police use guns only as the last alternative: there are many tasers, immobilizing guns, etc., that police could use to avoid executing minority children like this.
The racism of the most powerful groups (who like to pretend that they are liberal and not racist) is the secret that most US media (per Forbes Magazine owned by 15 billionaires) keeps: that the most politically powerful groups are often secretly very racist, but their members keep getting elected judges, politicians, etc. The judges are often wily, corrupt racists, who are charming and carefully conceal their corruption and racism. Only their actions reveal their true nature as in LA County. That is the big lie through which more and more public legal tender (US money) keeps covertly getting funneled to those ultra rich by their (privately owned by deceptively named to mislead the public) "Federal" Reserve bank cartel. (E.g., OVER $2 TRILLION in US legal tender was just covertly gifted by the “Fed†to the banks in exchange for their uncollectible, mortgage-backed-securities.)
It is why your savings, pension payments, wages, etc., will become worthless as inflation takes off to decrease the liabilities of the banks that own the "Federal" Reserve, which are owned by the ultra rich. See DW’s “Are we ready for the next crisis?â€ÂÂ
Wiser members of minority groups should always try to elect only members of their own group and not those members of other, richer, powerful groups that like to pretend that they are not racists. Many times, I have heard many such persons refer to minority members with racist, derogatory terms behind their backs. Do not be fooled anymore!
They plan to eventually replace you with AIs in most jobs. See “Deepmind made a superhuman AI for 57 Atari games†in this site. Read about DeepPatient, which is an AI like those that will be used to deny you health insurance (if you are going to get sick within the next five or so years) if they can repeal the ACA, as they have tried for years in mountsinai dot o r g.
The presentation of both prosecution and defense has been extra-litigious, granted the prosecution did start off with the very strong testimony of personal accounts. But since then it's been going around in circles on technicalities which is never the best way to prove a case. The bottom line is Derek Chauvin killed George Floyd in a manner malicious enough to be charged as murder! And as far as reasonableness, Not Once did he take pause to consider Not Killing Him while squeezing the life out of him down to his last breath!! And that is every indication that even premeditation was possible, if you know how especially police (and paramedics, EMS, etc.) truly operate, but it will not even be touched here…
I hope the Special Prosecutor is really good at closing arguments.
You can see it in his face that whole 9 minutes and 29 seconds he's telling himself, "I'm going to be the guy that took down 'Big Floyd'!!!"
