@@evolvingsoul2370 I actually am an expert in how opiates effect the body before death and I absolutely know that opiates depress breathing even before you fall into a coma. His drug use was a deciding factor in his death. Along with the fact that he had people on top of him. But if he’d been a healthy, normal human being he would have survived, I’m almost sure of it. One expert at a trial doesn’t mean much. I agree he was convincing but he was being disingenuous about the dangers of opiates.

[@imjustadog1897]

@Barry Burton Bull. I just watched the video of the lethal doses of fentanyl. If Floyd was really as high as many claim, he wouldn’t have been able to kick or scream. He would have been out long before he was put on the ground. He’d be damn near comatose. If he was overdosing while in police custody, they should have put him in a recovery position, not in a restraining position. That crowder experiment was similar, but not the same. The guy was resting mostly on his shoulders. Even when he was on his neck, he wasn’t kneeling like Chauvin was. Also there was a third officer who was on Floyd’s back.

[@imjustadog1897]

@Barry Burton That was a given that Crowder wasn’t high. There was one officer missing in his experiment and the positions his guys took weren’t the same. Again, the amount of drugs in Floyd’s system wasn’t lethal. Anyone overdosing on fentanyl isn’t screaming or moving around. If Floyd was complaining about not being able to breathe before he was taken out of the cruiser, why would Chauvin put him in a position where breathing would be more difficult? If Floyd was overdosing while in police custody, why didn’t Chauvin put his subject in a recovery position long before the ambulance arrived?

[@bobbywise2313]

@Carbon_6 "Can't breath" is subjective in this sense. But if you absolutely can not move any air through the vocal cords you can not talk. The ability to talk clearly and in complete sentences decreases as ventilation is compromised. It's kind of like when you run and get out of breath really bad. You can only speak one word at a time because you have to catch your breath. Various degrees of dyspnea will result in varying degrees of ability to talk. The ones who are most dyspnic sometimes struggle to get just one word out. Those are usually the ones who get intubated. Depending on the etiology of the dyspnea if a person can get a couple of words out intubation may be avoided with other prompt interventions.

@@thunkjunk No, you are a moron. It's beyond me how any uneducated person can be so ignorant that they conduct their own joke of an investigation into what happened and use their own poor judgement to assess the credibility of an expert, if you're too ignorant and stupid to realise Dr Tobin is the ultimate expert on this, fool, you have no hope, you buffoon.

[@thunkjunk]

@@jonnyarmstrong6563 You bask in Dr. Tobin's ultimate glory. Take a knee and worship you master. You never thought of the fact that Dr. Tobin would have a bias? It appears that he does. Look at Dr. Tobin's computer graphic and compare it to the real video. Chauvin's knee is not on Floyd's neck. Have you the video? It is the bystander video, the one everyone knows. But, you have to watch the entire thing uncut. And make sure you watch from the earliest moment. The bystander walks to Chauvin's left side early in the raw video. From that angle you can see exactly where Chauvin's knee is. It is past the neck and touching Floyd's shoulder. His knee is also angled upward toward the car. It is clearly not "grinding" or "pressing" into the neck.

In other words the man got suffocated to death. What a horrible way to die.

[@Cl0ckcl0ck]

Except that would show in the autopsy and it didn't. This guy works from a false premise (cause of death suffocation) and that leads him to a false conclusion.

[@flamegod7]

@@Cl0ckcl0ck Correct, it did not show. However, his heart failure was due to a combination of factors, many of which were related to his difficulty to breath, which, by most means, was related to his positioning by the officer. Drugs were likely also a factor and that is important to consider in contributing to his lack of breathing (it's important not to rule them out). Understand though, that it's possible to suffocate even if no clear damage has been done to his throat. Just because the autopsy doesn't show any harm done to his throat, this does not rule out the suffocation claim as, once again, heart failure can be caused from a lack of oxygen. If you are still skeptical, I suggest you watch the raw bodycam footage here (starting from 47 minutes and onward - WARNING, it is raw footage): kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zpi0ioB4drF3jsU

Suffocation wouldn’t leave evidence on autopsy in many cases. Depends on the force applied and the area over which the force was applied. If he was strangled with a thin rope or pair of hands with fingers encircling the neck, it’d leave brushing. If his lungs were compressed by someone’s bodyweight, there wouldn’t be a mark.

Many of you are complimenting the doctors testimony but you are not taking into consideration the surgical questioning from the excellent prosecutor. Mr. Blackwell is a doctor himself in this courtroom. He’s strategically asking JUST the right questions at JUST the precise times. His form of questioning makes the doctor easily explain. They are simple questions that only require a simple answer. Mr. Blackwell is just AMAZING to watch. I didn’t watch the case until the later parts because I didn’t want to get upset but once I saw Mr. Blackwell cross exam Fowler, I was glued to the screen. He’s very calm, he’s welcoming, he’s patient, he’s just a phenomenal prosecutor. I don’t know HOW they found him but I’m sure glad they did. I now follow him on social media. Lol. Congratulations Mr. Blackwell and the prosecution team. This is what good lawyers look like! :)

@Chris Young it’s easy to assume that George chugged down many pills than it is to see a cop not give proper aid to someone who was already in distress.

@@sirmister9099 because it was an inaccurate depiction. First off, the person in Crowder's recreation had his leg more so than the tip of the knee (that will be important later on) on Crowder's shoulder blade area instead of on the neck. Secondly, the side of the neck, which is where Derek was applying pressure, is where the carotid artery is located which affects the respiratory system as well as supply blood flow to the brain and applying pressure to that is going to be much more hazardous than on the shoulder blade area. Thirdly, the tip of the knee was placed, at best, about 2-3 inches away from the carotid artery and that is going to cause a much greater impact because of the fact that the tip of the knee is not as cushioned by adipose tissue and muscle than the upper part of the claves, thus cutting off more circulation in the artery
