If you remember, 3 years and 5 months ago we were told repeatedly that Minneapolis white police officer Derick Chavin murdered black drug addict George Floyd by holding him on the ground with his knee on Floyd’s neck while Floyd cried “I can’t breathe.”

The “evidence” was a video taken at a distance by a young black girl that was misleading because it suffered from camera perspective distortion as experts at the time explained but were ignored in the media hysteria focused on the police officer.  Moreover, Floyd’s complaints that he couldn’t breathe began when he was sitting in the patrol car.  As the up close police videos showed, Chauvin’s knee was on Floyd’s shoulder, the approved technique.  Chavin was restraining Floyd because he realized he had a fentanyl case on his hands, had called medics, and was restraining Floyd so he wouldn’t thrash around and use up what little oxygen he was receiving.  Fentanyl kills, if my memory of my investigation is reliable, by depriving blood cells from carrying oxygen.
