Signs of opioid overdose

Breathing is very slow and shallow, erratic, or has stopped

Pulse (heartbeat) is slow, erratic, or not there at all

Opioids such as morphine or fentanyl are powerful substances used to relieve pain in medical settings.

However, taken in too high a dose they can depress breathing – in other words, they can lead to slow, shallow breaths that cannot sustain life.

The bad news is opiate drugs also slow your breathing…and in case of an overdose, your breathing is slowed to a virtually non-existent and lethal level. The right amount of drugs slows your breathing; the wrong combination stops your breathing.

Amazing that this doctor didn't find it important to mention that a fentanyl overdose would contribute to shallow breathing and the death of floyd. He is putting all blame on physical restraint and not the coctail of drugs. He essentially impeached himself and he will get destroyed on cross examination.

This witness is very confident. He is also talking directly to the jury. He is a professor used to talking. And being a professor he is also very self assured. I don’t know how this jury will receive his testimony but it could be well received.

I look forward to seeing Nelson twist him in knots. He won’t like being challenged.

I agree!

He keeps saying how the knew was "rammed" on GF

And covid positive

He's a professor and an activist, and he knows the fentanyl in Floyd's system IS the reasonable doubt the jury needs to acquit Chauvin. This isn't a civil trial where contributory negligence can make Chauvin partly guilty. It's a criminal trial where he's either guilty or he's not guilty. Just the fact that the deceased had that much fentanyl/meth in his system is plenty of evidence to have never tried this case in the first place, and the good doctor knows it.

Like you said, Nelson will crush him in cross.

Right. I forgot that part!

Does anyone know if the radio is streaming this?

Ban streets

Well of course. The prosecution I'm sure gained his compliance in offering only one opinion that suited their goals.

This isn't a trial in the normal sense but a virtue signalling appeasement of the violent leftist commies.

Yeah the doctor is, so far, completely unfair in his analysis. If he doesn’t talk about drugs being a factor then he isn’t a fair minded person. He wouldn’t be considering the totality of the facts.

He seems to be claiming pushing in your handcuffed hands will cause you to stop breathing effectively? He seems to me to be like most academics who just make up things.

Is this guy related to Dr. Fauci?

Well they are black so that won't fit the narrative!

Professor keeps telling the jury to look at him. The jury may not like being told what to do by this egghead.
