EDITED the last bit because I multiplied where I should've divided. The point stands. 11-19 mcg of fentanyl or methamphetamine is not enough to make someone go off and become dangerous while resisting arrest.

Seriously, you have no clue what you are talking about. Let's just go by the serum levels of fentanyl in Floyds blood at time of death. Fentanyl 11 ng/ml. That is a reading of fentanyl level per milliliter of blood. This measurement has nothing to do with the size of the person. A 100 pound woman with 11 ng/ml fentanyl is same as a 250 pound guy with 11 ng/ml. They both have the same levels per milliliter of blood.
The recommended serum concentration for analgesia is 1–2 ng/ml and for anaesthesia it is 10–20 ng/ml. Blood concentrations of approximately 7 ng/ml or greater have been associated with fatalities where poly-substance use was involved.
So Floyd had enough fentanyl in his blood at time of death to actually kill some people, and certainly enough to prepare him for open heart surgery. This is why the ME rated it as FENTANYL INTOXIFICATION. In the vernacular, he was HIGH ON DRUGS. If the ME determined the Fentanyl actually killed him, he would have said Acute Fentanyl Intoxification.
You are also confusing pharmaceutical grade fentanyl with street fentanyl. The stuff they use in hospitals is about 100 times more powerful than morphine. It's also very consistent because it is professionally made. Street fentanyl is cooked up in clandestine labs and has no consistency. Some forms like 3 methyl fentanyl are up to 6000 times more potent. Street drugs are notorious for hot spots, where one portion of a gram is highly lethal, other parts weak. This is why there are so many overdoses with this drug.
Apparently, you have now moved the goalposts, previously you said Candace was lying about Floyd being high during arrest. Now it's, well he wasn't high enough to get violent and resist arrest. Candace wasn't lying, he was definitely high on drugs during arrest and at time of death.
