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.

What exactly was the cause of the intense emotional and physical experience in this case? Because that sure as fuck still sounds like murder to me.
If you’re anaemic and I cut your arm and don’t let you do anything about it and you slowly bleed to death, I still was the murderer even if the anaemia killed you.
“Your honor, he died from lack of oxygen and not because I strangled him”
AKA the Eggshell Skull rule. I also don’t see how it matters since the underlying cause was still the officers use of force.
TIL. Unfortunately I feel like we live in a post-precedence world. As though somehow they’re going to say, “sure, any normal jury would go with the eggshell rule…but you’re no normal jury are you? You’re special. You can see right through that EsTaBlIsHeD pReCeDeNcE hogwash and make the REAL right call 😈.”
And somehow it will work.

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.
George could have just gotten done slaughtering a school bus full of kids using a chainsaw in a fentanyl-induced psychosis, it’s kinda irrelevant. He was cuffed and under the control of three police officers. Chauvin remained on his neck minutes after he was already said to be without a pulse. He murdered him, intentionally, and made sure of it, and seemingly did so just to upset the horrified onlookers. If you are told that the handcuffed and prone guy you’re kneeling on is dead, and your response isn’t to render first aid, but instead to spend another few minutes crushing his neck… yeah, that’s murder however you slice it.
He’s probably antsy after getting stabbed a bunch of times while serving his sentence.
Hopefully his latest maneuver fails miserably.

Oh I didn’t know about this somehow. Poor guy.
“a neurohormone associated with the flight-or-fight response”
Huh, I wonder what could have caused this response???
