A judge has granted permission to lawyers for Derek Chauvin to have samples from George Floyd examined as part of the former Minneapolis police officer’s efforts to challenge his conviction on a federal civil rights charge stemming from Floyd’s death in 2020.

Schaetzel suggested that Floyd died of high levels of catecholamines, a neurohormone associated with the flight-or-fight response, or Takotsubo myocarditis, a heart condition caused by intense emotional or physical experiences.

    Experiences such as… being pinned to the ground by a murderous thug and choked with his knee on your neck for nine minutes?

    This mother fucker.

    Unfortunately I can no longer find the uncensored version of this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clSpERAWR3o <-- If anyone else is familiar with this and knows of the uncensored hosted online somewhere, I’d love to know. This was very nearly the first video that made me realize something different was going to happen after this police killing.

        Will do! All you are really missing are a log of F-bombs, but it detracts a bit from the emotion of the situation to have them all bleeped out, IMO.
