    “ George Floyd’s lungs were enlarged and full of fluid, a sign he overdosed on fentanyl. Though we already knew his fentanyl blood level was several times the level that can cause death, if he was a hardened addict, it might have not been fatal.” https://buff.ly/3flsyzA pic.twitter.com/aUfVMjNWok

        So on the silly assumption that you're not on drugs, you'd be totally fine with someone violently kneeling on your neck for 8 minutes? And even if he was on The Most Heretical Drugs, don't you think saying you can't breathe should lead a "public servant" to stop suffocating you?

        Being on drugs under no circumstances gives the state the right to murder you or, equivalently, to deny you life-saving care, any more than students wearing shorts gives you the right to justify sexual predation towards them!

        A man was begging for his life for nearly ten minutes and this is what you decide to share? What happened to human empathy?

        Nothing makes it more correct to kneel on a begging man's neck for that length of time. That was a choice. Disgusting.
