the cop's autopsy blamed underlying health conditions, unsurprisingly. They'll protect their own at all costs and lie to us in broad daylight. Abolish the police.

A previous autopsy said it was his heart that failed.

Yes, there was a report by the authorities claiming that there were no signs of asphyxiation and that it was linked to a heart condition or drugs (unspecified drugs, to make the racism obvious).

according to the police department. yes.
even though this man tragically got murdered in front of a camera.
Still, i think it is very important that autopsy happens regardless of its obviousness.

You can be pretty sure that the defence will belabour the point endlessly. There was mention of “possible intoxicants” or something like that in the coroner’s report.
I’m not American so... mine is just an imperfect and remote opinion. Maybe I don’t understand all the nuances and the implications.
