Topic	Preliminary autopsy report of George Floyd DOESNT support asphyxiation diagnosis
abaddon41_80 05/29/20 9:19:03 PM #139:	Patchwork posted... Ive said it in a few of these topics. It was positional asphyxiation. Youre taught to avoid keeping a handcuffed subject proned out in his chest and stomach for prolonged periods of time due to the pavement and restraint positions creating undue stress on the subjects ability to expand the chest cavity for air. No air, and the subject goes into cardiac arrest. Chauvins knee in the neck likely exacerbated the issue to an even more extreme degree. This is exactly why the report states, "the combined effects of Mr. Floyd being restrained by police, his underlying health conditions and any potential intoxicants in his system likely contributed to his death. I am not defending the officer of wrongdoing by any means. My argument is against the people who repeatedly mention Floyd was "strangled" or that the officer "kneeling on Floyd's neck." If this report is to be believed, these are sensationalized and arguably factually incorrect statements. The officer was in the wrong for not attending to Floyd as soon as he started saying he was having trouble breathing. The officer was really in the wrong for continuing to not do anything once Floyd seemingly passed out. He should be charged with some form of manslaughter based on how he handled this situation but the evidence does not support charging him with 1st or 2nd degree murder. --- I HATE ALEX SMITH <cite>abaddon41_80 posted [p:939911611] in Preliminar...
