You mean how the coroner just stated Floyd died from all the garbage he'd shot up, including enough fentanyl to kill a man?
But the narrative is bigger than any facts, and the riots when Chavuin gets off are very likely to make what we've seen so far look like a birthday party.
Yeah, the narrative is bigger than the facts here. Specifically, the narrative that
fentanyl killed George Floyd. Since people, once again, seem to be unable to distinguish narrative from fact:
It's a fact that Floyd had some level of fentanyl in system.
It's a fact that lower levels than Floyd's have been ruled the cause of death (meaning at least 1 case exists).
It's a fact that Floyd had a "heavy heart" -- a specific medical condition.
It's a fact that those conditions made Floyd's death more likely.
It's a narrative that those
caused his death.
It's a fact that the medical coroner said the cause of death was being
fucking choked.It's a fact that the District Attorney's literal job is to present a narrative that best defends the officer in question here.
It's a fact that the standard of care an officer usually has to show is attenuated to the individual.
Consider the fentanyl claim very carefully. Note how the defense attorney phrases it: 11 ml of fentanyl in his system when 3 is known to kill.
Is known to kill. Not
is likely to kill. Not
will probably kill. Not even
may kill. It's
is known to kill. That's deliberately chosen to be true, and meaningless. That means at least 1 person has died from that level. And that person? Probably had underlying conditions much worse than Floyd's.
There is a narrative here, but it's not what you think it is. It's the story of a really good defense lawyer (that is... a form of propaganda).
