Police are suppose to protect life. The idea drugs caused George Floyd’s death goes against every mandate on the books. Police have tools to save lives when encountering drug overdose. The idea somehow drugs in anyone’s bloodstream is a reason to hasten or further death is allowing police too much authority.
Fentynl kills immediately when taken in larger than prescribed amounts. George Floyd did not die immediately of a fentanyl. If anything the fentanyl amount in his system would have a calming effect. He was big man it would take a lot of fentanyl to cause his death.
Chauvin was called to account on the scene of George Floyd’s death by a fellow officer. One officer stated he was concerned for George Floyd’s deterioration and death. Chauvin never paused. He never ended the restraint. He never allowed concern for an impending death.
