It's simply a contributing factor to the incident.
Same applies.
And like I said, according to two medical examiners, the drugs in his system were NOT contributors to his death.
I hate this shit.... I 100% agree with you.
I wonder what the charges would be for Floyd or the cops if I was accused ass the same Thing as Floyd.

That's much more likely than your conspiracy that he intentionally killed a guy just because he was black in front of a bunch of witnesses with cameras, completely fucking his life up in the process.
I thought you guys were skeptics? Lmao.
It doesn't matter what George Floyd did or didn't do. He was unarmed, he was handcuffed behind his back with 3 cops sitting on him one with a knee on his neck. THAT KILLED HIM. It became premeditation when George pleaded for his life, said he couldn't breath, called the officer "sir" and even called out to his mother before he passed out. And the officer kept his knee on George's neck even after he passed out. There was enough time in that 8 minutes while he was on the ground for those officers to make adjustments.
Not to mention the fact even AFTER they called EMS and he lost consciousness, no one bothered to even roll him over, let alone check for a pulse, or attempt to administer emergency medical attention. I’ve never seen such callous disregard for human life, and I’m about done “debating” people who are making excuses for it. If you’re blaming George Floyd for his own murder, you’re a piece of shit, garbage excuse of a human being.

To be honest, I thought that was an American cop thing, to just leave the body without checking.
Many times I've thought that even though they shot the guy, they could still administer CPR.
But they always seem think it's not part of their job description.

Blaming Floyd for his death because of any potential drugs in his system is like blaming a rape victim for being raped because of what she was wearing.

No. It is not.
I have seen people get very stupid on drugs.
While that gives noone license to kill him - it may well be what got him manhandled.
Dumb, drugged and stupid tells cop to go fuck himself - expect cop to get physical.
That's reality.

It is. And you are assuming a lot. The man was begging for air, begging to his mother. He knew exactly what was happening.

Just so everyone's clear, the crime Floyd was arrested for was trying to pass off a counterfeit $20 bill at a store. Floyd was a drug user and even if he was resisting arrest at some point (and multiple witnesses and one surveillance video have said he wasn't), what the cops did in response was to strangle him with one of their knees for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. And for the last 2 minutes 53 seconds, he wasn't even conscious.
So, imagine that for every second that this song plays, you have a man pressing his weight against the back of your neck, pushing it to the concrete, restricting your airflow. Well, maybe not every second, because once the outro starts to shift gear at 5:53, you lose consciousness, and it never returns:
And why is this happening? Because you tried to pay for smokes with a bad Jackson.
Does this strike you as a proportionate response? Do you believe that using a fake $20 bill should be a capital crime? No? Congratulations, you just figured out why people are pissed off!
