It was announced that Derek Chauvin, the Minneapolis police officer who was involved in the death of George Floyd, has been arrested and charged with third degree murder and manslaughter.
One uniformed murder arrested.
Three more to go!#GeorgeFloydMurder pic.twitter.com/J1gLVbai5m— Kathie Juengling 🌊 (@KathieJuengling) May 29, 2020
On the same day of this announcement, Floyd’s autopsy has also been revealed. Today, results from Floyd’s autopsy were made public and people are skeptical, to say the least. In the report, it states that “no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation.” The autopsy notes that Chauvin’s knee contributed to Floyd’s death although the alleged official cause was “his underlying health conditions and any potential intoxicants in his system [that] likely contributed to his death.”
They won't. They'll say it was a heart attack or Coronavirus

You didn't think the state will give up one of their own so easy?

Dr. Eguene Gu took to Twitter to give his professional medical advice and he quite honestly believes the report is “BS”. He stated on Twitter, “As a doctor who watched the horrifying video, I can safely say that Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s autopsy report that heart disease, hypertension, and most outrageously “potential intoxicants” caused George Floyd’s death is so profoundly, and respectfully, quite bullshit.”
You don’t need to have evidence of trauma to the airway to believe that a knee to the neck killed this man. We all literally saw it. And for a medical doctor to ignore the actual most important piece of evidence, the video, to cover up for the police is pure evil.
Do no harm.

George Floyd’s family must demand an independent autopsy. I don’t know what kind of shit is attempting to be pulled here but we all know what we saw happen to George on video. There is a deep, festering rot of corruption and Americans will NOT stand for this. https://t.co/YRA70GeKHW

George Floyd suffocated to death, what would an autopsy even help with unless he had drugs in his system at the time of death? (which we know he didn’t).
