Floyd killed himself. Period. No knee on his neck, shoulder, butt, or anywhere else would have killed him given the FACT that he was ALREADY in respiratory distress before cops arrived on scene. The audio of the bodycam proves that as they approach Floyd's car.
Floyd admitted to consuming too much narcotics too.
Chauvin is a race based political prisoner. Period.
"Fentanyl’s mechanism of action is believed to primarily involve its ability to act as an
opioid agonist, which means that the drug readily attaches to neurons in the central nervous system that are specialized for neurotransmitters like enkephalins and endorphins.
These substances are often referred to as endogenous opiates because they have a similar chemical structure to opiate drugs. Because the neurons in the brain that are specialized for these endogenous opiates substances are ready-made for synthetic drugs like fentanyl, these drugs are very efficient at controlling pain, reducing stress, increasing sedation, and lessening anxiety.
They slow down the actions of the neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Because the brain is the control center for nearly every important bodily function, slowing the functioning of the brain also results in slowing the actions of other organs, such as the heart, lungs, kidneys, etc., as well as reducing the ability to engage in voluntary actions, such as walking, talking, and even thinking." (emphasis mine)
Fentanyl Overdose Symptoms
- Extreme drowsiness, lethargy, lightheadedness, or dizziness.
- Marked difficulty with balance, difficulty with walking, and decreased motor coordination.
- Complaints of nausea and vomiting.
- Significant mental status changes that often include slurred speech, decreased speed of thought (that can be observed by extremely slow rates of speech), confusion, irrational actions, and/or aggressiveness.
- Pinpoint eye pupils and/or bluish or purplish lips, hands, feet, fingernails, and/or toenails.
- Noticeably slowed or shallow breathing (In some cases, people may stop breathing or produce gurgling noises.).
- A marked reduction in blood pressure and heart rate.
- Becoming unconscious or comatose.
The lethal effects that occur because of fentanyl overdose are most often due to significant respiratory suppression or the complete halting of breathing as a result of the central nervous system depressant effects of the drug.
(NOTE: George Floyd was exhibiting all the above bolded symptoms easily seen in various videos recorded of the incident)
"Some people believe that the stimulant effects of meth and the opioid effects of fentanyl would cancel each other out, creating a strong high without the side effects that can lead to a deadly overdose. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Drugs don’t all have the same effects on every user, and their side effects do not counteract one another as if there is some simple, chemistry equation behind their use. Instead, what winds up happening is the use of two very powerful drugs at once puts an inordinate strain on the user’s body and brain. In addition, many people who are taking meth and fentanyl together do not realize they are doing so. Often, individuals who take meth or cocaine laced with fentanyl have a low tolerance for opioids and are at risk of overdose (
NIDA). Essentially, these are two of the most dangerous drugs one could take alone but especially in combination when it comes to overdose."
The effects of fentanyl and methamphetamine on the body and
central nervous system are oppositional, so when taken together, one substance can dull the effects of another. When meth is laced with fentanyl, this can cause the meth user to take more doses, increasing the amount of fentanyl in the system and leading to overdose and overdose death.
When the two substances are being taken together intentionally, whichever product is being dulled by the other will result in increasing doses, posing a risk of overdose or at the very least overload in the body, which can have catastrophic results.
In short, combining fentanyl and meth can lead to:
- Dulling the effects of one substance or the other
- Overtaking one substance or the other
- Not experiencing overdose symptoms
- Delayed symptoms of overdose
- Meth Overdose:
- Trouble breathing
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Chest pain
- Seizures
- High blood pressure
- High body temperature
- Intense hyperactivity or aggression
- Fentanyl Overdose:
- Very small pupils
- Severe respiratory depression
- Cold clammy skin
- Gray, blue, or pale skin
- Blue or purple lips and nails
- Complete stop in breathing
- Loss of consciousness
- Unresponsiveness, even to pain
- Vomiting
- Choking or gurgling sounds
(NOTE: Bolded points Floyd was obviously experiencing as seen in the various videos of the event)
Then there is this:
"Cardiopulmonary arrest is simply when the heart stops beating and lungs stop moving, which other medical examiners The Times reporter spoke with often do not include on their reports, as this happens in all deaths."
It is odd that medical examiners do not note that medical fact since it is an obvious occurrence in ALL manners of death. In other words, it is of absolutely no clinical significance as to the actual "manner of death," since it is an end result "in all deaths."
“1. Fentanyl 11 ng/mL”
That’s just the first few words of the “Toxicology” section. Also listed are norfentanyl, 4-ANPP, methamphetamine, cannabinoids, amphetamines, morphine and so on.
But the 11 nanograms per milliliter of fentanyl is rather important, inasmuch as the chief medical examiner called this “a fatal level of fentanyl under normal circumstances,” saying, “deaths have been certified with levels of 3.”
Three. But George Floyd went up to 11.
