(16,616 posts)person who wrote the Complaint, cherry picking. (I have a lot of issues with the Complaint). "Traumatic asphyxiation" is different than asphyxiation by neck and chest compression or "strangulation".
I want to see both reports side by side.

I was out of the loop last week when this started but I did see the report. Why the hell mention something you have no information about?

(66,354 posts)The coroner mentioned "possible substances", and allowed the MAGA types to fill in the blanks. "Well there y'go! He wuz high on sumthin'!"

(10,177 posts)Images clearly showed multiple officers pressing down on Floyd's neck and back. The other officers are as guilty as Chauvin, they must be arrested.

(9,952 posts)must take them into account and check out the situation, or some such. First degree all the way because many witnesses who were all reasoned people seeing a man die called attention to the situation and were ignored.

(5,969 posts)that sat on Floyd's back as well. I think the three on Floyd's body who heard that he cannot breathe should be charged. But there is no doubt that at least two should definitely end up in prison.
