Pick A Better Martyr
-
They currently having Floyd's first big memorial, with people packed in the seats. The guy died in a horrible manner. It shouldn't have happened.
But let us not forget, Mr. Floyd was passing fake $20 bills when he was arrested. Mr. Floyd had done hard time for armed robbery, shoving a gun in a pregnant woman's belly, threatening to kill her and her unborn child, while his buddies ransacked her home. Maybe that was due to drug use, which Mr. Floyd had been arrested for in the past.
George Floyd was no angel.
And while so many will celebrate his life today, they are actually only concerned with the politics of his death. Maybe we should do a better job raising the George Floyds of the world, than we do burying them.

First of all the gross findings:
Blood analysis:
His blood level of fentanyl was ⅓ of the way to unconsciousness.

So police brutality is cool if the victims were high?

Cooler, if the victim is dead already.

If he didn’t have all that crap in him, would he have still died?

According to the autopsy, I don't think so.

@Jolly , you're much more versed than I am on the specifics of these blood levels and normals the I am.
Care to comment?

Interesting that he was asymptomatic to Covid given his health history.

The blood levels of Fentanyl are over the average lethal dose, but you know more about appropriate blood levels than I do, as I understand some patients can tolerate a lot more than others.
The poikilocytosis is interesting, but since he only had the trait, there's no way the rbc's were overly compromised in their ability to carry oxygen.
The confirmation of morphine in the urine is also interesting. I know that heroin can metabolize down to morphine at that point, and I may be wrong, but I think mass spec confirmation would pick up the difference between Fentanyl and other opiod-type drugs.
Postmortem meth levels are usually around about one and a half times less than antemortem. If that's the case, he's got enough meth in him to be off his gourd.
Floyd kept complaining of not being able to breathe, but the post shows no trauma which would have caused him to die. I'm no doc, but cause off death to me would be an overdose.

And none of that changes the fact that the officer refused to let go of his hold and call for an ambulance for 4 minutes after Floyd had lost consciousness.

Makes a big difference legally.
Big difference.

(moved from the "Kenosha shootings" thread:
@jon-nyc said in Kenosha Shootings:
I'm sure it will be litigated.
Read the copy of the autopsy George posted...
https://www.emcdda.europa.eu/publications/drug-profiles/fentanyl_enOverdose results in respiratory depression which is reversible with naloxone. Sudden death can also occur because of cardiac arrest or severe anaphylactic reaction. The estimated lethal dose of fentanyl in humans is 2 mg. The recommended serum concentration for analgesia is 1–2 ng/ml and for anaesthesia it is 10–20 ng/ml. Blood concentrations of approximately 7 ng/ml or greater have been associated with fatalities where poly-substance use was involved.
For the record, routinely I'd administer 2 mg of fentanyl to induce anesthesia for heart surgery. A patient not breathing doesn't scare me, it was to be expected, and I knew how to deal with it. It was part of the plan.
This article says that "anesthetic levels" are 10-20 ng/ml. Read the path report I posted. If that's what they found post-mortem, it's not unreasonable to expect that it was higher before the specimen was obtained. I'm no expert on the pharmacokinetics of fentanyl, but if that was obtained an hour after his apprehension, I'm willing to guess that it was substantially higher when the episode started.

I think you misunderstood it. The autopsy says the diagnosis predated the death by long enough for the disease to have run its clinical course and that RNA can stick around longer. They’re not claiming he had always been asymptomatic.

An interview with the CME who talks about the levels of drugs in Floyd:
https://spectator.org/minnesota-v-derek-chauvin-et-al-the-prosecutions-dirty-little-secret/
Dr. Baker, the chief medical examiner, had to concede that at 11 ng/mL, Floyd had “a fatal level of fentanyl under normal circumstances.” He also conceded that the fentanyl overdose “can cause pulmonary edema,” a frothy fluid build-up in the lungs that was evidenced by the finding at autopsy that Floyd’s lungs weighed two to three times normal weight.
This is consistent with Officer Kueng’s observation at the scene that Floyd was foaming at the mouth and, as found at autopsy, that his lungs were “diffusely congested and edematous.”
In other words, like a drowned man, Floyd’s lungs were filled with fluid. And that was the obvious and inescapable reason why Floyd kept shouting over and over again that he couldn’t breathe even when he was upright and mobile.
The memorandum ends with Dr. Baker’s devastating conclusion that “if Floyd had been found dead in his home (or anywhere else) and there were no other contributing factors he [Dr. Baker] would conclude that it was an overdose death.”
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
In other words, like "Hands up, don't shoot," and "Good people on both sides," this will go down as a rallying cry with no basis in fact.

So I assume the cop beats the murder charge?
