2023-10-22 -War on Police-
Geo. Floyd - Fentanyl 11 ng/mL, nor Fentanyl 5.6 ng/mL, no life threatening injuries
[Gateway] In a recent episode of his show, Tucker Carlson addressed an issue that has been the subject of intense scrutiny and debate for more than three years: the circumstances surrounding the death of George Floyd. Carlson broke through the obfuscating cloud of mainstream media and challenged the narrative that George Floyd was murdered by a ’racist’ white cop, Derek Chauvin.

He questioned the slogans, mantras, and beliefs that have been embedded into the collective American consciousness by a media obsessed with sensationalism, rather than fact.

On May 25, 2020, George Floyd, a Black man, died while in police custody. Video footage showed Officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck for over nine minutes. This led to widespread protests across the United States under the "Black Lives Matter" banner, advocating against police brutality.

As a result, Chauvin was convicted of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter. He was sentenced to 21 years in prison.

Among the documents and testimonies, Amy Sweasy, a top prosecutor in Hennepin County, discussed a crucial conversation she had with Hennepin County Medical Examiner Dr. Andrew Baker the day after Floyd’s death.

Dr. Baker reportedly said that there were “no medical findings that showed any injury to the vital structures of Mr. Floyd’s neck. There were no medical indications of asphyxia or strangulation.”

“In other words, George Floyd, according to the official autopsy, was not murdered. He died instead of what we used to call natural causes, which in his case would include decades of drug use, as well as the fatal concentration of fentany that was in his system on his final day. So this was not a killing, it was yet another narcotics OD in a country that records more than 100,000 of them every year. The medical examiner clearly understood that and, in fact, articulated it,” Tucker Carlson said.

#1 American Thinker - Minneapolis’s prosecutors always knew George Floyd died of natural causes.

A former Hennepin County, Minnesota, prosecutor is suing her employer, alleging that she was a victim of sex discrimination and retaliation. That’s par for the course. Hennepin County is entirely Democrat, and Democrats don’t always feel obligated to follow their loudly stated rules. The reason Amy Sweasy’s lawsuit matters to us is because George Floyd died in Hennepin County…and depositions in Sweasy’s case make it very clear that the prosecutors always knew that Derek Chauvin and the other three police did not kill George Floyd:

#2 Proof that for Demokrats, nothing matters except keeping blacks on the "plantation". Derek Chauvin's life and freedom are unimportant when false MSM propaganda whipped up mob violence, so a white cop was fed to the mob notwithstanding the truth!

Feed that to every marxist who rants about "No one is above the law", with a chorus of "No justice, No peace".

#3 From following the trial here, I came to two conclusions:

1) The other cops were not only blameless, they tried to intervene in Floyd's behalf by pointing out he was exhibiting the Police Depatment's warning signs of OD.
2) Chauvin didn't kill Floyd; St. Floyd did that himself with an OD; Chauvin was however contributory by ignoring the other cops' warnings and not noticing (or perhaps,caring) himself.
