That was the family's ME report.  It is totally different from the county's.

It was both, thought I heard it on the TV when I was in and out grilling supper.

Both said homicide. 

Family's expert:   "asphyxiation from sustained pressure", the pressure cut off blood flow to his brain.

Medical examiner:  "cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression", Floyd's heart failed.

(maybe this belongs in the Antifa thread)

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/06/pure-evil-police-chief-breaks-describing-richmond-leftist-rioters-torched-home-children-inside-blocked-fire-department-video/

The chief of the Richmond, Virginia, police department told reporters Sunday that Black Lives Matter and antifa rioters set fire to a multi-family home with children inside and then blocking access for firefighters to get through to save the children.

Hanging is too good for some folks.

I've read a lot of stuff about Soros and what he does. Who knows what the truth is?   If he finances groups who promote violence or organize violence, why isn't he arrested for some sort of conspiracy charge?  Is he another example of how rich, powerful people are not constrained like the rest of civilized people are?  Aren't there several Federal groups who are supposed to be aware and on top of people like him?

I suspect that Soros is wily enough to cover his tracks by laundering his contributions through several layers of minions and non-profits and NGOs (non-government organizations). The government probably knows, but can't prove.

And, of course, there's also the possibility that the deep state doesn't want to prosecute him because he's doing what they want.

Surprised no one postulated vagus nerve reflex.

They need to find better heroes.

When the police commit crimes, they will generally be against unsavory characters.

And, even with the drugs in his system, if the police "restraining" him in such a clearly egregious way killed him, the rest doesn't matter.

As I recall from the (small amount of) legal classes I've taken: you are faced with what your actions did to THIS victim, not what they would have done to some random victim. If your illegal punch kills a man because he has a paper thin skull, it doesn't matter that it wouldn't have killed the average man. It DID kill this man and you are guilty of murder.

Disagree.  Like Mak said cops tend to deal with criminals.  That's their job. If they can't manage to deal with criminals without murdering them, the problem is with the cops, and the culture of the agencies.

Was he alive and well before the police kneeled on his neck for no good reason till he was well and dead? Yes? The rest doesn't matter. Even if he was at some point in the encounter "violently resisting" when the suspect is no longer resisting you stop applying force. Period. End. Full stop.

Last I checked summary execution wasn't supposed to be within the scope of law enforcement.

  At this point they just want a monopoly on power? It's like a protection racket.

More on the bricks:

I saw an article yesterday that I haven't tried to find today that explained one of the pallets.  Something about construction in the area.  So at least one was legit.

They must have broken their stay at home quarantine. Bad business owners, bad business owners. Sit your ass down at home.

Anyways, run on guns again. This is going to be a banner year for firearms sales.

I think they were pissed at him for holding his iPhone vertically while shooting the video.

Life gets difficult when a gesture that for centuries has meant "okay" or "very good" is suddenly seen by some to mean "bad" or "white supremacist." If there was a memo circulated to document the change, I didn't receive it.

Does thumbs down still mean "bad"? If so, but thumbs up no longer means "good," what's the new symbol for "good"?

I'd probably tell him to go do something that's anatomically impossible.
