The family of George Floyd and the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office agreed to release the full autopsy report of George Floyd.
In the report, it is stated that Floyd died of cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint and neck compression.(Snip)A postmortem nasal swab was taken, which confirmed that Floyd was positive for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. It is noted that Floyd was known to be positive for COVID-19 on April 3. The postmortem positivity likely reflects asymptomatic but persistent PCR positivity from previous infection, the report said.

Let's see. It's a twofer. Covid deaths go up and we can riot all over the country!
I do not mean to diminish the death of George Floyd. It was horrific and unnecessary. It never should have happened. But the media don't care about anything but destroying President Trump.

Wow, an actual fcat story! I'm stunned. No opinions, Trump bashing or SJW rhetoric. Just facts. I appreciate the full report. Most can't understand the full report but there will be plenty of people that will. And 'journalist' will not mention a word of this report cause it is nothing but facts and they have no clue what to do with facts.

We don't know what happened prior to the video. What if Floyd was spitting on the officers, which would explain their keeping their knee on the back of his neck. There is a lot we don't know, which is why we have adversarial trials.

I believe the family (read, payed for by rich Marxists) hired "experts" to do their own autopsy, and they claim Floyd was clearly asphyxiated and had no underlying cardiopulmonary problems. Whether or not they actually examined the body, I don't know. Maybe they did it from a distance like that "psychiatric expert" who psychoanalyzed Trump without having met him.

I thought anyone that died *with* COVID-19, is declared to have died *from* COVID-19, which means the officer(s) can't be responsible....

Somehow I wondered if COVID would pop up. But whatever he had, 200 lbs. of cop on his neck certainly didn't help.

So his death will be categorized as from the corona virus.

Not much is said about the fentanyl and methamphetamine in his system. Both fentanyl and meth suppress breathing, and meth can cause rapid heartbeat. The presence of drugs is a mitigating factor that the accused police can use to argue reasonable doubt. It probably did contribute to Floyd's death, but the degree to which it did is likely unknown.

Explaining why he couldn't breathe?
Floyd didn't have a mask, was it protocol to have an unmasked detainee face down?
I'd seen a reference to that, don't know if it's the case.

Sounds like his lungs were in really bad shape from the virus and he had serious heart problems, from two causes. Fighting and struggling with a big load of adrenalin and with fentanyl and meth in his system....he was a ticking time bomb, physically and chemically.
I have repeatedly said that we need to know what sort of drugs were in his system. Was there enough fentanyl to have killed him with his lungs full of a deadly virus, and a failing heart?
This will need to go to a jury, and I resent the heck out of the folks announcing that this "was clearly murder" from an incomplete video clip.
NO, that is not clear at all.
And this autopsy makes much less clear whether the officer's actions caused Floyd's death, other than the high stress of combat, which Floyd started himself, may have been the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak.

Minnesota AG Keith Ellison, yes THAT Keith Ellison, has jumped in and taken the case against Officer Chauvin from the Hennepin County DA. In this process he has ramped up the charge from third to second degree murder. I suspect with all the mitigating health issues that it will be fairly difficult to get a conviction.

Previous accounts indicated that Covin and Floyd had worked together or been in close proximity to each other. What is their past history together, amicable or otherwise? Did Covin know what he was doing to Floyd? Was it a result of their past history? More investigations are needed.

I read that they are trying to change the cop's charge to 2nd degree murder. It should be manslaughter, which they could get an easy conviction on.
They are doing that so that the cop will be found not guilty, and they will have more reason for their minions to riot and destroy!!! They don't want "justice", just anarchy!!!

#11, he was trying to pass a counterfeit $20 bill, so perhaps he was.

1. Democrats and liberals can't handle the truth. So hands down, they'll deny the autopsy report.
2. George Floyd Demonstrators, Antifas, BLMs, Rioters, Looters, and the rest of the morons lynched the country's entire police officers, burned and destroyed the cities without due process. And all for an undesirable lowlife like George Floyd who may have infected others with his COVID-19 virus.

dr. Baden, in his public statement about his autopsy, lied about Floyd's underlying conditions. He also gave a false reason for death.
You have to realize that Dr. Baden is a hired gun, and testified in the OJ Simpson murder case, on behalf of Simpson, that there is nothing to be learned about a knife wound, except that it was a knife wound. That was a lie. an outrageous lie.
When the police release the police body cam videos of Floyd, back behind the side of the police car,, the term 'Gentle Giant' will no longer be applied to him.
For what it worth, here is my prediction on the charge of 2nd degree murder.
Defense counsel for Chauvin will show the convenience store tape of the gentle giant being out of control when his counterfeit bill wasn't accepted for the purchase of cigarettes. (The store owner called 911, saying Floyd was drunk and out of control.)
then defense counsel, using a series of police body cams videos, especially the videos at the as yet unseen side of the police car, to show how four officers were unable to place the drugged up gentle giant into the police car, how he struggled, and how they had to restrain him and put him on the pavement.
defense counsel will also find a way to enter into the record, the fact that floyd's neck was not compressed,but simply stabilized. and the videos along the side of the police car will show another officer keeping the dangerous, big drugged up man, on the ground.
(The muslim state AG, Keith X., has already warned us that clever defense attorneys may be successful in this case.)
The result of the jury trial of Chauvin? Hung jury on 2nd degree murder. The other three officers? Acquittal.
Bring on the riots.
Star witness for the defense? My guess is Dr. Cyril Wecht, unless Keith X. has already compromised Wecht by hiring him as a consultant. same with Dr. Henry Lee..

Bad news for the rioting looters....er... I mean protesters.
It introduces reasonable doubt. When the Minnie Cop Noor killed Justine Demond, Noor was put on administrative leave while the dept did an 8 month investigation that covered every possible defense Noor could offer. THEN he was dismissed and charged and is now serving time. This rush job could backfire.

Well, in that case, the cops that killed him shouldn't be locked up spreading the virus in jail. You can't have it both ways for some and not them.
