You're continuing to play medical examiner here for reasons I still don't get. You're saying that because "choking/strangulation/asphyxia" wasn't listed as the cause of death by the county medical examiner, Chauvin's knee to the neck for 8 minutes has nothing to do with his death. So why was it classified as a homicide then? From all the "helping" that Chauvin was doing? Everything else but the knee to the neck was the problem? C'mon man, snap out of it.
"Stop playing medical examiner"...in the same breath "had it not been Chauvin's knee on the back of Floyd's neck, he'd be alive". I also distinctively remember you trying to argue that Floyd's fentanyl levels were benign, meanwhile Dr. Andrew Baker, the pathologist who analyzed Floyd's toxicology report, stated for the record he would have concluded that Floyd died of a drug OD if he were found dead home alone. I'd be very interested to see if you would concede that you were incorrect in arguing that the amount of fentanyl in his system was safe.
It takes a pathologist to examine a body and determine the cause of death. It takes a 5th grader to read the words off the report. I'm not playing doctor, I'm functioning like a normal human reading quite plainly what it says on the "physical examinations" area of the report where it says "neck".
You're also completely ignoring the results of the second autopsy in order to continue your narrative that asphyxia didn't play a role in Floyd's death.
Copying and pasting my reply to twitchy because it debunks Dr. Baden's autopsy report.
Obviously I could show you the second medical examiners report that has the cause of death as asphyxiation, but you've already decided to just ignore that one.

The parallel to our current case does not end here. An official autopsy declared cause of death “sudden respiratory arrest following physical struggling restraint due to cocaine-induced excited delirium.” The legal team hired Dr. Michael Baden, who testified that Lewis died from “asphyxia caused by neck compression.” Baden is the same medical examiner who was hired by the George Floyd family, and made a similar finding. Baden is also the same medical examiner who was hired for Eric Garner, and declared death by “compression of the neck”. Baden is also the same medical examiner who was hired by the Brown family to examine Michael Brown, and Baden found that Brown died while surrendering, an assertion totally disproven by a DoJ investigation spearheaded by AG Eric Holder under Obama. Suffice it to say, Michael Baden has a very specific interest, and a very tenuous track record. The Court will be aware of this when weighing the autopsies.
https://medium.com/@gavrilodavid/why-derek-chauvin-may-get-off-his-murder-charge-2e2ad8d0911Dr. Baden did not even have the body when he concluded mechanical asphyxiation. 2nd autopsies means the body comes in with major organs missing and no toxicology report. He was dead wrong in the Michael Brown case, he was dead wrong in the Eric Garner case. Low and behold, both officers in both cases were cleared of charges. He has a 0/2 record.
Pretty sure he did the autopsy report on Epstein too and suggested that his death was murder. (Correction - he analyzed the autopsy reports, did not conduct one himself) He's a celebrity quack doctor that comes out of the wood works every now and then for high profile cases to politicize things.
If I remember correctly (I could be wrong about this so feel free to fact check), he claimed Floyd did not have underlying conditions merely by talking to Floyd's family. Super scientific stuff.
I mean this with sincerity, don't be a fool and get duped by this con artist's autopsy report. He did not even have the body when he concluded mechanical asphyxiation.. And when the body actually got released, it was missing entire organs and was already mutilated which will NOT give you an accurate cause of death. You can research this on your own. 2nd autopsies are not accurate. Let alone an "autopsy" without even having the body present and relying on family testimony.
