“I feel like the judge is on Derek Chauvin side! SMH.”

Doctor: Drugs Did Not Cause George Floyd’s Death

Recently, Dr. Martin Tobin testified for the prosecution in the Derek Chauvin trial. He refuted the argument popular among Chauvin supporters that George Floyd died as a result of a drug overdose at the same time Chauvin was putting his body weight on Floyd’s throat.

“A healthy person subjected to what Mr. Floyd was subjected to would have died.” (Dr. Tobin)

Deadly Force Wrongfully Used Against George Floyd

A Los Angeles Police Department use-of-force expert, Sergeant Jody Stiger, said that no force was necessary at all in this case. Given the circumstances, Floyd should not have had anything happen to him, considering he was already handcuffed and not resisting.

Floyd was in the “prone position, handcuffed not attempting to resist, not attempting to assault the officers,” Stiger said in his assessment, adding that Floyd was “not actively resisting at the time” nor did he “communicate that he was attempting to resist or evade them.” (HuffPost)
