We all know the police murdered George Floyd because “What are the odds he coincidentally died from other causes while being strangulated?” Smart people play the odds.

Likewise, we have to add some nuance to what “resisting” arrest means under the influence of fentanyl. The drug can induce a zombie state of mind. Zombies ONLY resist, because they are incapable of doing otherwise.

If the police recognized the zombie situation, which I assume they see a lot, they would know that negotiating, threatening, and even causing pain would be ineffective.

Nothing short of full body control is even slightly likely to work. Don’t confuse fentanyl with drinking. Even a drunk can follow instructions. Zombies can’t.

None of this excuses the police, because they are trained to be smarter than us about this stuff. Even I would have known not to put someone who MIGHT be on fentanyl in a constricted/awkward neck and breathing situation.

Imagine if we reflect on all the things George Floyd did to contribute to his own demise. But go on folks about how the system made him do all those things.
