A 5'9" guy who only weighed 140 would be skinny as a toothpick. There's no freaking way he was that thin at the time of the killing, and If he does weigh that now (which I don't believe, but IF) he must have been on one hell if a crash diet.

And in any case, Mr Alleged Toothpick Man was armed, as were all the other cops that were there (and Floyd was NOT).

What an absolute load of crap.
