George Floyd - cause of death exacerbated by use of police Taser gun?

[mike tesko]

What is a TASER and how does it work?
A taser is a battery-powered, handheld device which delivers a short, low-energy electrical pulse. Two electrode wires are attached to the gun's electrical circuit. Pulling the trigger breaks open a compressed gas cartridge inside the gun and flings the electrodes into contact with a body and a charge flows into the muscles.

The taser delivers 19 short pulses per second over 5 seconds, with an average current of 2 milliamps, according to TASER manufacturer Axon. It creates an electric field, which stimulates nerve cells called alpha motor neurons to send an electrical impulse. The impulse travels to muscles and causes short, sustained muscle contractions.

The taser has two modes: the first, pulse mode, causes neuromuscular incapacitation as the neural signals that control muscles become uncoordinated, and muscles contract at random. The second mode, drive-stun, uses pain to get compliance.

The most commonly used device is the TASER X26, according to Axon.

There wouldn't have been any further problem from George Floyd as he was handcuffed wasn't he ?
No need for a taser nor a handgun. Plus, the man would probably have been doped up as according to the girlfriend/partner of Floyd he also took over the counter painkillers for some medical problem which gave him pain.

My take on this, it’s clear the police were wrong but who on earth would be a police officer in America?? You must risk your like every single day with the amount of guns in circulation

Dereck Chauvin

Why would a police officer ( Dereck Chauvin) have his left hand in his pocket whilst using his knee against the victims neck, who was also handcuffed and with his body in the prone position, which was/is known to create breathing and stomach pain problems?

There is a history of preventable deaths with the 'bully boy cops' in Minnesota, where the use of Taser gun was/has been used and resulted in death of the victim! Chauvin kept his knee pressed against Floyd's neck for over 9 minutes, which equates to the reality in that/this situation, where Floyd was easily not showing any sign of resistance or posing any threat to the safety of the police officers present!

I believe that evidence exists to show and prove that Cop Chauvin used his revolver/ Taser gun, in addition to kneeling and choking the victim - OMG..

Dereck Chauvin 

He thought his treatment of George Floyd was  out of sight of members of the public, but another cops body cam captures this moment when cop Chauvin had Floyd on the floor in hand cuffs, and his knee pressed into his neck, whilst at the same time, he had his left hand in his pocket holding his Taser which he had already used on the victim!

Probable 'causes of death 

 (1) * Heart Attack  as a result of Chauvins (unnecessary) Use of his Taser

(2)  * Oxygen Starvation

(3) Drugs Overdose

(4) Underlying Health Problems
