George Floyd died as a result of asphyxia from sustained forceful pressure, independent medical examiners determine

. He is in custody in a state prison. Three other officers who were on the scene have not been detained or charged with any crimes. All four officers were fired the day after Floyd's death.

"We are going to bring to bear all the resources necessary to achieve justice in this case," Ellison said in a news conference. The city, like others across the nation, has been roiled by demonstrations. Arrests were made after an 8 p.m. curfew Sunday, but they were a tiny proportion of the thousands who peacefully marched around the city and across the Mississippi River bridges Sunday afternoon.

Miranda Strong, 28, said arresting the three officers who stood by would be a positive sign, but deeper change is needed.

jonmachota Maybe communities should be able to elect police officers from people within their community. This would ensure that the police officers have roots and good ties to the communities they are serving in and by being elected they are approved by the community!

Two different medical examiners, two different results. Question here is, could you have your air passage blocked for 8 minutes in that position and still be alive? Even for a so-called healthy person? This is just messed up!

NYCbumpkin That’s a lie!

micwendy02 If I were to give you $10,000, what would you spend it on? Food? Clothes ? Your kids? Credit Card Debts? Student Loans? Family? Medical bills? Student Loans? Giving to charity? I'm gonna bless a few people who Like & Retweet. (Must be following me so I can DM you)

Strike compliance off the list! It's crazy we can comply or be licensed to carry & law abiding citizens then still have to fear for our safety in society. It's not just police that's brutal. It's the job market, school system, banking system...the list goes on Justice4George

Oh 😍 mon Dieu ! Quel mort atroce! Tout ça parce qu’il était noir ? Les être humains sont pire que des animaux. Surtout être raciste est une grande faiblesse.

The 1st coroners office should be investigated

This is how deep the corruption is. That medical examiner needs their license revoked and held accountable for this crime too. You held the truth. You tried to cover up a murder. shame JusticeForGeorgeFloyd

Well what I heard was they ask for what they got ,they pay for what they got so who knows but we know nobody cares about anybody that much so there's something going on in the Democratic Party.

AG Barr's Justice Department is a rigged game. It's all rigged for the super rich ! all this crap is about money ! The huge and unfair wealth gap with everything rigged for the super wealthy 1% ! I'm against any reparations of any kind though .

We knew that the original faulty autopsy was part of a conspiracy. So glad to know the truth.....

RIP

Deserves 2nd degree murder, 💯. George Floyd didn't deserve to die.

It’s good that independent autopsy was performed -otherwise we would never known the truth ! The conduct and wrongness of previous autopsy need to be investigated !

😢

Took 6 days?! My cousins took 6 weeks! We had to wait til the County did their report and then get a COURT ORDER to do an independent one? 6 days?!?! GTFOH

In your face! Now what? The majority of us who saw the video knew this from the beginning! Now do something about it!!

Didn't USA Today claim that same guy was a conspiracy theorist when he examined Epstein's autopsy and claimed that he didn't kill himself?

No doubt !

No matter you gnash the story it still doesn't stop the fact that He is dead and not returning just because of heartless police men.

Police officers are trained in regards to sleeper hold or a blood choke. They know 8-9 minutes is too long. No more rhetoric. Arrest the other 3 NOW!!

You can see on the video the moment he took the last of the breaths he was fighting for..

Take one guess on who the medical examiner was trying to protect?

jonmachota Shocker.

The truth is coming to lights now

The Minneapolis medical examiner should be fired today, the effort to cover up the facts is glaring.

Proof that you cannot even trust the city's medical examiner to come out with a factual report. Can we also trust the state's prosecutor to not screw up the case and end up with an acquittal for those cops?

Of course. Boden is paid to say this!!!!’ Go ahead you morons, restart the riots!!!! That’s what your doing....!!!

Its terribel when People died of Police brutallity thats my opinion fore shore

What pisses me off about Floyd’s murder is not one person watching him being murdered had the balls to charge the cop and knock him off. Why? Because you feared for your life. You were not willing to save this man. Instead you watched, filmed it and posted on it on Social Media!

Murder! Either way.

And 👏🏾 we 👏🏾 knew 👏🏾 this 👏🏾

Ok. Everyone calm down, take a deep breath,,, go ahead and take another deep breath. Ok,,,smell that Who farted

I believe all the looted owners have lives to feed to, its harder every day to feel any sorrow for what's going on.

Sounds like this should at least be 2nd degree murder. And with all the opportunities to stop when Floyd said he couldn't breathe, seems like it's more like 1st, but I'm no lawyer. GeorgeFloyd

So surely the people who did the original autopsy lied, there is no grey area. This one says death was due directly to the knee. So who is going to explain how the official office came up with a different result?

So he didn’t die of COVID? Got it.

What did you think the 'independent' medical examiner was going to say

INDEPENDENT DOES THAT MEAN OFFICIAL ? OR WHAT

It was the knee on his neck/ throat that killed George Floyd not any underlying health condition. Most Americans have underlying health conditions and do not drop dead.

someone is lying

За такие твитты я люблю твиттер

If you don't like the results, pay for someone to get the ones you do like. Just remember, these 'independent' experts cost thousands of dollars and will rarely tell you what you don't want to hear. Grain of salt.

we do feel sorry for this guy BUT!! this is not the FKING reason that robbing stealing,hiting others peoples properties and being greedy ,,those are NOT protestor ,They are criminals and some evils they are spreading the conorvirus by hiding in those groups pretending brothers

Who was the first coroner and why was he trying to hide the real cause of death?

To everyone that feels so.e type of way about the protests.. the riots Listen to the song NO PROBLEMS BY LIL SCRAPPY TALKING WAS MLK'S WAY IT'S NOT WORKING SO WE DOING THIS THE MALCOM X WAY... AND IT'S SHOWING RESULTS WORLD WIDE THE ENTIRE WORLD IS MARCHING GeorgeFlyod

Crazy

...this is LITERALLY FAKE NEWS. The autopsy CLEARLY says he didn't die of asphyxiation! Why are you like this?!

Buy guns and ammo. Democrats are rioting, killing and burning everything in site. Protect your family, business and yourselves. Elected Dems are standing down to allow and the media encourages it. Be on alert!

😔

Ya think?

You could have just said he was murdered by a cop. You don't have to hid it with that language.

You mean the family’s private autopsy? Of course! It couldn’t be anything else, could it? What a joke.

First degree murder!!!!!!!!

So the other officers who were on him need to be tried with this new evidence. They are just as guilty Derek Chauvin.

The country mourns George Floyd. It's a shame other people are also being killed because of the riots taking place.

professorkim No shit.

Minnesota To Deploy Record Guard Force To Contain Unrest Over Death Of George FloydFaced with a fifth straight night of protests over the death of George Floyd, Gov. Tim Walz says he's fully mobilizing the state's National Guard — 'an action that has never been taken in [the guard's] 164-year history.' He'll need them to arrest all of the out-of-state MAGA freaks. Hopefully they control the white supremacists causing all the damage and leave the peaceful protesters be. IMPORTANT: There are White Nationalist groups attempting to pervert our peaceful protests and cause mayhem and chaos for their own 'MAGA NIGHT' purposes. Do NOT engage with them. Do NOT contribute to the violence. PASS IT ON.

How to Support the Protesters Demanding Justice for George FloydHundreds of protesters have been arrested while demanding justice for GeorgeFloyd. Here's how to help. If they were arrested, they were most likely stealing, destroying property, or assaulting someone. Remind me why I should give money to people who aren’t peacefully protesting; destroying people’s lives and their own communities? Are you bailing out the people that destroy small minority owned business or hurt or kill innocent people? stop encouraging crime
