None is saying he died from strangulation.

Most likely his problems were because, according to the local medical examiner he took a lethal dose of fentanyl.

The local medical examiner he stated that if he found Floyd at home in the same state, he would of determined his death to be fentanyl overdose.

The police officers were implementing the "Maximal Restraint Technique" as they were taught to do.

As can be read in the image, this technique is meant to help the person breath easier.

The question regarding Trump's Fraud deserving of death might have been a rhetorical question, but I'd like an answer.

Suggesting that "the president of the United States deserves to die", could be interpreted as a threat to the president of the United States.

Threatening the President of the United States
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threateni ... ted_States

"Threatening the president of the United States is a felony under United States Code Title 18, Section 871. The offense is punishable by up to 5 years in prison, a $250,000 maximum fine, a $100 special assessment,and 3 years of supervised release."

You should probably drop the question.

Certainly Trump does his bit to embolden racist psychopaths

That's the thing, though. I don't believe Trump deserves to die despite being a fraudster. But neither should have George Floyd.

Floyd's blood contained a lethal dose of fetanyl, according to a local, county medical examiner.

When you take a lethal dose of fentanyl, you're lucky if you don't die.

Fentanyl
High risk for addiction and dependence. Can cause respiratory distress and death when taken in high doses or when combined with other substances, especially alcohol.

the murdering psycho cop should not have put a knee to his neck then. even if he didn't know what the hell was going on with him.

The police were trying to help him.

He was exhibiting cardiac/breathing problems, likely from fentanyl he took.

So, they used the "Maximal Restraint Technique".

This technique is taught to Minneapolis police as shown in image.

The cop you are defending was a nightclub bouncer who already fought with George.

Do your homework.

The mainstream media is owned by elitist liberals who are more than willing to divide Americans to help Democrats win to further their political agenda. They've been making every black death by a white cop national news for many years while completely ignoring the majority of interracial crimes because they involve black people killing white people.

The rest of the media is owned by elitist conservatives doing much the same so what's the point of flogging a dead zero sum?

In fact, most white people are killed by other white people, just as most blacks are killed by other black people.
The reason why there's a spotlight on cops killing black people is because citizens regardless of color should be able to trust the police, but due to past experience blacks can't.

Lets be fair that the worst historical abuse of police power (particularly in the south) is probably over.

A lot of this is intergenerational where younger kids inherit their parent's distrust of the police and when they have one bad experience then all it does is confirm their worst fears they learned from their parents.

So great grandparents - I better be careful not to look at a white woman or I'll get lynched by the police
grandparents - I better be careful not march for civil rights or vote or the police will turn up at my house at bash us
parents - I better avoid driving at night in case the police stop me
kids - I better cooperate with the police and not smart mouth them or I'll get charged for resisting arrest
