George Floyd Body Cam Video Leaked

As I suspected, there's a lot more to the story than was shown in the initial videos, and more than we've been told.
   We were told initially that he didn't resist arrest, for example. That was a lie. 
   Also, he had been saying that he couldn't breathe from the get-go, and repeated it every minute or so the entire time that the police are struggling to get him into the car. 
   The initial video looked horrible. When the backstory--and the autopsy report-is added, the case against Chauvin looks weaker and weaker. 
   Nobody wants to say this because it will inevitably bring false accusations of racism from progressives. But since we're going to be falsely accused of racism no matter what we do, we might as well speak the truth.
   I'm willing to wait for a legal decision--but this certainly isn't the slam-dunk case that it looked like initially. Chauvin has already been tried and convicted in the court of public opinion--it's common for people to refer to the incident as a murder. But, as I understand it, Chauvin was using a legally-approved restraint technique against a big, strong, resisting suspect that was clearly either mentally disturbed, or under the influence, or both. The autopsy shows no neck trauma. Floyd claimed to be unable to breathe from the beginning, long before the neck restraint was applied. The toxicology report showed more than enough Fentanyl in his system to kill him. And his death is consistent with Fentanyl overdose--which often kills via asphyxiation (hence the term 'Fentanyl asphyxiation').
   Facts don't matter to the progressive PC left...but they should matter to us. I'm sorry that George Floyd died--I really am. And I'm sorry he died like that. But I rather doubt that Officer Chauvin killed him.
   Needless to say, if Chauvin is acquitted, there'll be another round of riots. So be prepared for that.
