Why did Floyd consume a lethal amount of drugs rather than go back to prison. Was it really worth his life to avoid incarceration ?

    If you had actually listened to the doctors, you’d know that the levels of drugs in his system were not lethal. He was perfectly fine until he was prevented from breathing by officers using their body weight to restrain him. His behavior and symptoms were not consistent with an overdose. I take more drugs than that every single day, and I’m still alive. But I didn’t have the weight of 3 grown men preventing me from breathing.

    The medical examiner said he died from asphyxiation.  Cons need to learn that no matter how many times you repeat a lie, it's still a lie.  Even if Trump says it!  8^)

    Wrong.  George Floyd didn't have enough fentanyl in him (11ng/ml) to even knock him out.  "The recommended serum concentration for analgesia is 1–2 ng/ml and for anaesthesia it is 10–20 ng/ml."  https://www.emcdda.europa.eu/publications/drug-pro...  Also see https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9778002/ where fentanyl was administered at 15ng/ml for bypass surgery patients.
