    The exact text of the complaint says:

    "The full [examiner report] is still pending but the medical examiner has made the following preliminary findings....no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation. Mr. Floyd had underlying health conditions including coroanry artery disease and hypertensive heart disease. The combined effects of Mr. Floyd being restrained by the police, his underlying health conditions and any potential intoxicants in his system likely contributed to his death."

    That last sentence is absurd to me. It's like they're trying to write his defense for him

    maybe someone should kneel on that cops neck for 8 minutes, since he has no underlying health conditions it should be fine!

    Hey now if you take away the time he was kneeling after Floyd became non-responsive then it wasn't even a full 6 minutes

    Conservatives will. This will certainly do nothing to stop the rioting. It's only going to get worse.

    Yeah, true, I'm sure plenty will. But I do feel like I know several conservatives and Trump voters who are outraged by this and aren't buying the BS. They may still have racist and awful opinions about the rioting, but I'm pretty shocked by how many people on both sides are fed up here. Even saw a Trump supporter defending the looting on my FB feed, since peaceful protest has never worked in this kind of situation

    if they don't charge because of "underlying health conditions and possible intoxicants" there isn't going to be a single pd building left standing

    What are the chances of the federal government doing their own medical examination with the FBI responding to it?
