George Floyd

“The only mistake I made was when I wrote 1 minute, it was close to 3.”

thats a pretty big mistake .
watch your clock for 3 minutes thats a long time.

“This is a Civil War. ”
dont’ change the subject we are talking about George floyd

you said “All I saw was his eyes were closed. Maybe at the last second it looked like he was limp.”

at that point was he resisting yes or no?

Insane. I’ve seen plenty of hate-filled comments launched at my fellow Chassidim (which is why I made this acoount), but I don’t think I’ve ever seen such an open display of racial vitriol on YW’s site. In fact, I don’t think I’ve seen it anywhere.

George Floyd was no worse than your average black growing up in a slumland run by crime and violence. Already in his teens, he was arrested for drug trafficking, and in 2006 he was arrested for participating in an aggravated robbery, while in possession of a weapon (It is not clear whether George withdrew the weapon and threatened anyone).

Since then, George had more or less come clean although he still struggled with a drug addiction. He was an aspiring rapper as well as a professional basketball and football player. Once he moved to Minneapolis, he worked two jobs, one as a truck driver, and another as a security guard at a night club. He was described by those who knew him – former classmates as well as the director of the night club where her worked – as a “gentle giant” with a warm personality; a troubled man who was trying to turn his life around.

We should all be horrified and distressed by this outrageous, maddening, story. To feel otherwise is nothing short of psychopathic.

The report — the real report, not that of Crump’s hired hands — says he died of a cardiopulmonary arrest. In plain ordinary English that’s what we call a heart attack. Doctors may use different technical terms for different kinds of attack, but in ordinary English it’s immaterial; the heart stops, it’s a heart attack.

And it says there was no asphyxiation. So he was not strangled or choked.

Working for Crump automatically means every word the person says is a lie.

2scents -“Does anyone know if he was in cardiac arrest prior to the ambulance showing up?
Did the officers do CPR on him?”

I presume Not; unless the EMT or Medic was incompetent.
The first thing the EMS did was check a pulse. Then they proceeded to load him on the Strecther.
Again, unless there was gross incompetence, they treated him like an unconcious pt.
Not like s/o in Cardiac arrest.

“of a cardiopulmonary arrest. In plain ordinary English that’s what we call a heart attack”

Ok so. in short no.
A heart attack is a myocardial infarction. This occurs when (most commonly) a blood vessel to the heart is to narrow for blood to be supplied and part of the heart muscle (myocardium) is deprived of blood (infarcted)
At no point did any autopsy report that I’m aware of say this happeend.

Most people who die, die from “cardiopulmonary arrest. ” ie theri heart and lungs stop (unless they are brain dead) . Now what can casue cardiopulmonary arrest? lots of things. Certainly a myocardial infarction ((heart attack) can lead to cardiopulmonary arrest, so can shock so can high potassium levels (a common cause in those with kidney problems), as can hypoxia (low oxygen levle) for example from asphyxia

Yes his heart stopped (as it does for most dead people) . but why. NOT from a heart attack (myocardia infarction) This was your misinterpretation.

The report said a cardiopulmonary arrest while being restrained by law enforcement officers, who had subjected Floyd to subdual and “neck compression”

Ie they said he died from his heart stopping while being retrained….
why did his heart stop? it doesnt really say it kind of blames multiple factors (which is what I do when I dont know the exact cause,) including intoxicants but ALSO the “subdual and “neck compression””

This was cleared up in he final drafts, but at no point did it ever say he had a heart attack.

“Does anyone know if he was in cardiac arrest prior to the ambulance showing up?”
Did the officers do CPR on him?

From what I understand he still had a pulse when EMS showed up
