The reports from two Medical Examiners, one by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner and the other by two private doctors representing George Floyd’s Family, has concluded that Mr. Floyd’s death was a homicide. That was what an overwhelming number of people knew to be the cause. That is what sparked outrage. That was due to the inhumanity of the Police Officers involved.
Although there are differences in the two reports, which will be vigorously examined during ex-officer Derek Chauvin’s trial, the cause of death was asphyxia. Simply, oxygen flow to his brain was restricted. Everyone saw the Police Officer kneeling on George Floyd’s neck for at least 8 straight minutes.
For most including myself, all the other details are for the officers involved sentencing. What reasonable people are expecting is that perpetrators be charged to the fullest extent of the law. Nothing less.
