George Floyd'''s family releases independent autopsy showing death caused by asphyxia from sustained pressure | Fox News

[retiredguy123]

To be fair, I just have one question. How can an autopsy paid for by Floyd's family be called an "independent" review?

[Bogie Shooter]

Because Baden is a Fox News contributor??

Because most of the free world understands what the word "independent" means. It doesn't mean "unbiased." It means "not connected to or affiliated with...[insert thing here]."

In the case of the autopsy, it is independent of the preliminary autopsy performed by the coroner's office.

How quick are some politicians to throw police under the bus when politically expedient. Considering Mr. Floyd’s violent criminal past of armed robbery and drug dealing I am inclined to give police officers the benefit of the doubt unless shown otherwise after an investigation. The restraint technique of kneeling on a suspects is permitted by law if not excessive. More facts will emerge to reach a final and just judgement.

No surprise.

And to foreshadow a bit, it's my experience that any medical testimony offered at trial just confuses the jury and puts them to sleep anyway.

What is the difference between Baden's autopsy and the one done by the ME?

Twenty YEARS ago he was *arrested and charged* with possession. I see no mention that he was ever convicted of it. He did do 5 years for aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon. That happened over 10 years ago, and he only had to serve four years of his sentence.

Zero incidences since then. He has no "violent criminal past." He had a singular violent criminal incident in his life. Which isn't to excuse him, but it does seem to indicate that YOU are more interested in painting him as a lot worse than he was, for some nefarious reason.

Like most paid litigation experts, Baden's report is drafted to fit the narrative of the side who is paying him...no credibility.

So Floyd was an ex-con. Aggravated robbery is a BIG DEAL FELONY! I did not know that and had actually heard that he was a "gentle giant" and so on. All I can say is WOW! That speaks loud and clear about his actual character!

I honestly don't know but am curious... what exactly is "aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon"?

It sure sounds like a robbery with a deadly weapon?

I have never committed a robbery, much less with a "deadly weapon".

Would you agree George is not a model citizen? Robbery with a deadly weapon? Hmm... not diminishing his death or the circumstances, which I agree is abhorrent, but nationwide destruction over this? George doesn't sound like Mother Theresa.

Could you please rectify the two statements in bold? Or is it just the usual TOTV oxymoron?

[Stu from NYC]

Interesting that every time a black is "murdered by the police" he is a felon with criminal history.

How come they cannot find a model citizen with clean record to protest about?

[ColdNoMore]

And once again, the attempts to try and justify the death of an unarmed black man AFTER the fact...starts.
