Transgender Folks Attack J.K. Rowling Proves Common Sense Is Dead

Share

By: The Doctor Of Common Sense

This whole thing with J.K. Rowling the Harry Potter author proves common sense is dead.

It also proves that no matter how insane the belief that you espoused is, it is acceptable if you scream it loud enough.

Stephen King who looks like something out of one of his horror movies. 

He Tweeted support for J.K. Rowling who herself was re-tweeting Andrea Dworkin.

Who herself was a gay activist. The retweet said,  “it isn’t hateful for women to speak about their own experiences, nor do they deserve shaming for doing so.”

J.K. Rowling is under attack because she dared to say that there was a difference between biological women and trans women.

Seems like a no brainer to anyone with a damn brain.

What made it worst is that she did not apologize. She went on to say “I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth,” she tweeted.

She is right but what they want to do is what all left-wing extreme groups do. They insist on bullying you into a fake apology.

In other words they attempt to shame you into submission.

Facts and reality is clearly on your side but I be damn if you are going to say it out loud.

The left-wing media terrorist groups want to intimidate you into proclaiming a lie that you know is a lie.

Stephen king is just the latest coward that gives into this insanity.

Drew Brees apologized after saying “I will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America or our country.

So why can’t Drew Brees say what is on his mind. But BLM and the rest of the so-called “woke” morons will tell you when to be offended.

So J.K Rowling has been supporting the woke crowd for a long time but that does not matter.

The most protected species on the face of the earth are Gay people.

Especially in the West where it is almost a crime to act like a damn man.

This does not mean you hate gays, it is matter of you having a right to speak your mind.

Can it really be argued that a man born with a penis can start calling himself a woman, and Abracadabra he is a woman.

It does not matter what his mind is telling him. He is not nor will he ever be a woman. That isn’t hate it is fact.

J.K. Rowling said If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth.

She is absolutely correct. If there is not such thing as the male sex or female sex. Why are people going around saying same-sex marriage?

They want to call it gender now because if they say sex, it destroys their argument. 

If people really love these so-called trans people they should start by being honest with them.

Telling people lies not to hurt their feelings is not love, it is more like hate.

Especially when the suicide rate among gays and trans are so much higher.

Now they want to argue that the suicide rate is high because of hateful people.

Every show that you watch on television is promoting gays in a good light.

Which is simply not true.

No more than pretending that all whites, or all blacks are good.

The Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe who plays Harry on the movies.

Said this is not about “in-fighting between JK Rowling and myself”, Then he said: “Transgender women are women.”

Well hell I guess their is no more damn debate since Harry Potter said so right?

Stephen King had to have the Trans Mafia stick words in his mouth and force him to say something I don’t believe he really believes.

He tweeted “Yes. Trans women are women

This reminds me of the abusive husband that beats his wife, and then ask her, “do you love me?”

What do you expect her to say when you just blacken her eyes.

But it really is not exactly the same because the abused wife may fear her life.

Stephen King, J.K. Rowling and Daniel Radcliffe only fear the backlash of the Gay Mafia.

They don’t need the money, but the Gay Mafia, and the left-wing groups are so aggressive.

Most people will just say it is not worth the headache. 

Most grownups today remind me of children who wanted to hangout with the popular crowd.

But these Gay Mafia, Trans Groups, Black Lives Matter are not the most popular.

They are what my 6 grade teacher called the empty wagons. She would say “the empty wagon makes the most noise.”

Fill it up with something and it does not make so much noise.

It has also been said that the squeaky wheel gets the oil.

If Christians, and Conservatives are supposed to be the silent majority.

We better start being more vocal, or they will destroy this country if it is not already to late.

This made up controversy started with a woman named Maya Forstater.

Maya did not have her contract renewed when she dare speak her mind through tweets.

The government of the UK was starting a new program that allowed people to choose their own gender.

She dared to speak the truth and the facts.

She said that certificates that declare a man is a woman does not make him a woman. 

It is a factual statement, but the trans terrorist and left-wing nut jobs say it is homophobic to say it.  

A vile so-called employment judge rebuked her.

She was saying that she was wrongly terminated for stating her opinion.

May I add that her opinion was indeed a fact.

But when facts are offensive to the left they will attack you like wild animals.

The BBC article quotes the judge as saying. 

“It is a core component of her belief that she will refer to a person by the sex she considered appropriate even if it violates their dignity and/or creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment,” he continued.

“The approach is not worthy of respect in a democratic society.”

Common Sense is dead and she will not be coming back to life.

So lets just look at somethings that make women women and men men.

First of all can a so-called trans woman have a menstrual cycle?

The answer is a emphatic no. You can call a cow a Chevy Malibu but it does not make it so.

Men produce sperm. Can any so-called trans man ever produce sperm.

If I declare that I’m a 747 will Delta Airlines place me in their flight rotation?

The answer is a emphatic no.

And since men do not have a menstrual cycle. It means that the chances of a male born species becoming pregnant is zero to the infinity power.   

It will never happen, period end of story, finito. 

Another difference is the chromosome make up. While all humans have 46 chromosomes. A woman will have 46 XX chromosomes. While men will have 23 X chromosomes, and 23 Y chromosomes. 

There are rare occasions where this in not so. 

So tell me how a grown man can become a woman by merely declaring it.

If he declares that money shall rain from the heavens, will it be so?

 Before this madness of transgender came along.

If the police found a dead body that was decomposed. 

Even if it had no tissue on the body, they could determine if it was male or female.

We can partly blame the women movement that declared men and women where the same.

I believe if a woman does the same job as a man she should get the same pay.

But what we have seen with firefighters, police officers, and even in the military.

They lower the physical standards to allow women in.

If my life or my love ones life is in jeopardy. I do not want someone getting the job based on sex, color, or anything but skills.

I want the most qualified person that is professional enough to simple do their jobs.

So J.K. Rowling is getting a dose of who the left-wing extremist really are.

The Gays want to high jack every organization. They did it with the Boy Scouts.

They have done it with churchs, and sports.

Men completing with women because most of the time they can’t beat the men.

Now they have high jacked the women’s movement.

Yes Common Sense has died.

May he or she rest in peace.

Another Shooting In Seattle CHAZ, Surprise It Was Not The Police Right?

Share

A 16-year-old boy has died and a 14-year-old boy has been hospitalized in critical condition Monday following the latest shooting at the Seattle area known as the Capitol Hill Organized Protest, or CHOP, police revealed.

Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best said it marked the second death of an African-American victim in the area. The first death associated with the CHOP came June 20 when 19-year-old Horace Lorenzo Anderson was shot and killed.

Monday marked the fourth shooting linked to the CHOP zone.

“It’s very unfortunate that we have another murder in this area identified as the CHOP,” Best said Monday. She elaborated that they were African-American victims “at a place where they claim to be working for Black Lives Matter but they’re gone. They’re dead now. And, we’ve had multiple other incidents — assaults, rapes, robbery, shootings — so this is something that’s going to need to change.”

Officials initially said the victims of the latest shooting were “men” before clarifying their ages.

Best said multiple 911 callers reported that two males had been shot in a vehicle on 12th Avenue between Pike and Pine early Monday morning, but by the time officers arrived at the scene both were gone.

The younger wounded teen arrived at Harborview Medical Center’s Emergency Department at about 3:15 a.m. by private vehicle, Susan Gregg, a hospital spokeswoman, told Fox News. He remained in critical condition in the intensive care unit.

The second victim was brought to a Seattle Fire Department staging area outside the CHOP and arrived at the hospital via ambulance at 3:30 a.m. He later died at the hospital, Gregg said.

Best said investigators “found a white Jeep Cherokee riddled with bullet holes on 12th Avenue between Pike and Pine,” KOMO reported.

She explained the crime scene had been tampered with by the time law enforcement arrived and that police investigations into the shootings in the Capitol Hill area, which normally would involve interviews with witnesses, have been hindered as “people are not being cooperative with our requests for help.”

“Our homicide detectives searched the Jeep for evidence but there wasn’t much we could find,” Best said. “The typical things we search for in a shooting like this weren’t there and it’s abundantly clear to our detectives that people had been in and out of the car after the shooting.”

The corner of 12 Avenue and Pike Street is about two blocks away from Cal Anderson Park, where protesters initially camped out in tents to occupy the area first referred to as the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, or CHAZ. The encampment has become more difficult to manage, drawing violence and a large homeless population since the onset of the occupation three weeks ago.

Organizers on Sunday said they’re seeking to move into the abandoned East Precinct, where most protest leadership have already taken up shelter, as part of an effort to secure their best bargaining chip in convincing city officials to act on police reform and other demands, the Seattle Times reported.

City efforts to dismantle the CHOP were thwarted Friday when protesters laid down in the street to block Seattle Department of Transportation crews and heavy machinery from removing barricades around the occupied zone. Crews left after two hours without removing the barricades.

Negotiations between city leadership and organizers over the weekend did not prove fruitful, as hundreds of protesters have reportedly refused to leave the Capitol Hill area.

Anderson’s death came as a result of the first shooting on June 20 that rung out around 2:30 a.m. near Cal Anderson Park on 10th Avenue and East Pine Street inside the CHOP. Another man was wounded in the incident.

“Officers attempted to locate a shooting victim but were met by a violent crowd that prevented officers’ safe access to the victims,” Seattle Police Department said in a press release at the time.

“Officers were later informed that the victims, both males, had been transported to Harborview Medical Center by CHOP ‘medics,’” it continued. “Officers responded to Harborview and were informed that one of the victims, a 19-year-old male, had died from injuries.”

Anderson’s death prompted Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan to announce last week the city would begin efforts to dismantle CHOP, asking organizers to convince protesters to disperse to avoid police intervention.

A 17-year-old was shot in the arm around 10 p.m. on June 21 near Cal Anderson Park.

“To ensure the safety of medical personnel, police staged with Seattle Fire at the edge of the CHOP area and were gathering information about where the shooting victim was located when they learned he had been transported in a private vehicle to Harborview Medical Center,” a police press release said.

He has since been released from the hospital and declined to speak with detectives.

A man in his 30s was shot early June 23. Police received multiple 911 calls around 4:30 a.m. to report someone had been shot in the 1100 block of East Denny Way.

“Officers and Seattle Fire Department medics staged nearby and met the victim outside the area known as the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest (CHOP),” a police press release said.

“The victim refused to provide any information about the circumstances surrounding the shooting or a suspect description to officers. Medics transported the victim to Harborview Medical Center for treatment of a gunshot wound to the calf.”

Chicago Celebrates Father Day Weekend With Over 100 People Shot

Share

Chicago saw a very violent Father’s Day weekend, with more than 100 people shot and at least 14 killed, including five children, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

The number of shootings makes last weekend the most violent weekend of 2020 for the midwestern metropolis, but hardly its deadliest. The last weekend of May saw more than 20 people killed but only 85 people were shot.

The youngest victim of the weekend’s violence was just three years old.

“A 3-year-old boy was fatally wounded when someone opened fire at his father while they were driving in [Chicago’s Austin neighborhood],” the Sun-Times says. “The toddler, identified as Mekay James, was struck in the back about 6:25 p.m. when someone in a blue Honda pulled behind the black SUV the boy’s 27-year-old father was driving in the 600 block of North Central Avenue and fired several rounds, authorities said.”

The police believe Mekay’s father was the intended target of the shooting.

Four other minors were killed, including two teenage boys, who were shot in an alley on the city’s south side, and a teenage girl, who was shot in the neck while sitting in the front room of her home.

In total, 12 minors were among the 104 people shot.

Chicago has seen a marked uptick in violence since allowing coronavirus-related lockdowns to expire and moving into “Phase 1” of reopening the city. Parts of the city, though, are seeing some of the worst gun violence in years, with dozens being shot each weekend — often more than in any year since 2012 when the city reached a peak.

The city’s police superintendent, David Brown, did his best to address the issue Sunday, promising to quell the rising tide of gun violence — and particularly gang-related gun violence — on the city’s south and west sides.

“Tears are a natural reaction to these tragic stories of violence. But we need to do more than just cry,” Brown said at a press conference, according to CBS Chicago. “Let’s keep violent offenders in jail longer, and let’s revamp the home monitoring system. It’s not working.”

Meanwhile, though, Chicago has become a target city for the “Defund the Police” movement and a number of demonstrations are demanding Chicago’s mayor Lori Lightfoot shift funding away from the city’s law enforcement agencies and better finance social services, anti-poverty, and mental health programs. At least two aldermen, members of the Chicago City Council, have proposed near-complete defunding of Chicago’s cops, per the Sun-Times.

Chicago is not alone in being both a target of anti-police agitators and a hotbed of violence. Minneapolis had a mass shooting over the weekend, which left 1 dead and at least 11 injured. Seattle, home to the “Capitol Hill Organized Protest,” or CHOP, also saw a deadly incident of gun violence late last week, followed by two more shootings over the weekend.

UCLA Professor Is On Leave After He Refused To Postpone Final Exam, Because Black Lives Matter

Share
The Cop Was Arrested For Killing George Floyd So Take The Damn Test

 A longtime UCLA professor has been placed on leave after facing backlash over his response to a student’s request to postpone the final exam for African American students, considering the impact of George Floyd’s death.For complete coverage of the situation in Minneapolis visit CBSMinnesota.com and stream CBSN Minnesota.

Gordon Klein received the email on June 2, and rejected the request, stating the following, according to a change.org petition calling for his termination:

Thanks for your suggestion in your email below that I give black students special treatment, given the tragedy in Minnesota. Do you know the names of the classmates that are black? How can I identify them since we’ve been having online classes only? Are there any students that may be of mixed parentage, such as half black-half Asian? What do you suggest I do with respect to them? A full concession or just half? Also, do you have any idea if any students are from Minneapolis? I assume that they probably are especially devastated as well. I am thinking that a white student from there might be possibly even more devastated by this, especially because some might think that they’re racist even if they are not. My TA is from Minneapolis, so if you don’t know, I can probably ask her. Can you guide me on how you think I should achieve a “no-harm” outcome since our sole course grade is from a final exam only? One last thing strikes me: Remember that MLK famously said that people should not be evaluated based on the “color of their skin.” Do you think that your request would run afoul of MLK’s admonition? Thanks, G. Klein

Klein is on leave until June 24 as school officials decide how to move forward.

An on-campus advocacy group and a counterpetition are calling for UCLA to reinstate Klein and for him to be issued an apology.

“As a public institution, UCLA is bound by both the First Amendment and the laudable promises of academic freedom it makes to its faculty members,” Katlyn Patton of The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education wrote in a letter to UCLA officials Wednesday. “Those obligations and promises are of even more importance during a crisis. Given that Klein followed institutional policy when he refused to alter his final exam procedures, this investigation is almost certainly based on the tone or viewpoint of his email, which was — however brusque — protected expression on a matter of profound public interest. Klein must be immediately reinstated, and UCLA’s leaders must make clear that their commitment to academic freedom is stronger than an online mob.”

UCLA’s Anderson School of Management, where Klein has taught since 1981, said Klein’s classes have been assigned to other faculty, saying the following in a statement on Wednesday:

“The lecturer is on leave from campus and his classes have been reassigned to other faculty. Due to confidentiality and privacy laws and concerns, we are unable to comment further on this matter at this time.”

“That said, UCLA and UCLA Anderson are committed to creating a learning, working and living environment that is free from discrimination, harassment or retaliation.”

“To this end, all reports of such conduct are carefully and impartially reviewed. The Discrimination Prevention Office and Title IX Office process all such claims in accordance with published procedures that protect both the integrity of the investigation and the due process interests of all parties. These offices take every report seriously while ensuring that no case is prejudged. To promote transparency, the Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion also publishes annual public reports with aggregated data on complaints, investigations and findings.”

Insane Terrorist Seattle Protesters Make Demands: Abolish Police, Grant Amnesty, Free Health Care and College

Share

Protesters who have cordoned off several blocks in Seattle, declaring it a “cop-free zone” and “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone,” have released a long list of demands, including abolition of the Seattle Police Department and prisons, amnesty for all illegal migrants, and free health care and college for all, especially for blacks as a form of reparations.

The protests are part of a wave of sometimes violent gatherings that have taken place across the country in the wake of the death of George Floyd, a black man who died at the hands of Minneapolis police.

“This document is to represent the black voices who spoke in victory at the top of 12th & Pine after 9 days of peaceful protest while under constant nightly attack from the Seattle Police Department. These are words from that night, June 8th, 2020,” the document states.

The demands are divided into four sections — the justice system, health and human services, economics, and education.

The justice system demands include that the “Seattle Council and the Mayor defund and abolish the Seattle Police Department and the attached Criminal Justice Apparatus.” This includes seizing police pensions. It also calls for prohibiting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from operating in the city.

Under the health and human services portion of the document it states, “We demand the hospitals and care facilities of Seattle employ black doctors and nurses specifically to help care for black patients” and — even though police will be gone if these demands are met — a separate 911 line manned by mental health professionals.

In both the economic section and elsewhere, the protesters demand free college, socialized medicine, and free public housing.

The demands are in line with the talking points from the far-left and the Black Lives Matter organization’s political agenda, but the authors of the demand list said the occupied area is being reclaimed for indigenous people.

“Although we have liberated Free Capitol Hill in the name of the people of Seattle, we must not forget that we stand on land already once stolen from the Duwamish People, the first people of Seattle, and whose brother, John T. Williams of the Nuu-chah-nulth tribe up north was murdered by the Seattle Police Department 10 years ago,” the document states.

POS Cop Derek Chauvin Put In Solitary Confinement To Protect Him.

Share

Fired Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin was moved to one of the most secure prisons in the US Sunday night to ensure he won’t be murdered behind bars, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.

In a highly unusual move, Chauvin, who is facing a murder charge in the death of George Floyd, was transferred late Sunday to Oak Park Heights Prison – Minnesota’s only Level Five maximum security facility.

He was previously at Ramsey County Adult Detention Center where he was on suicide watch, before being moved to the Hennepin County Jail because of COVID-19 concerns but then moved to the high-security prison. 

The Minnesota Department of Corrections (DOC) told DailyMail.com that Chauvin was transferred to prison and placed in ‘administrative segregation’ – solitary confinement – after a plea from the Hennepin County Sheriff. 

The 407-inmate prison boasts of never having had an escape and is also regarded as one of the country’s safest, having only had one homicide in its history. Located on the border with Wisconsin, between the cities of Bayport and Stillwater, it accepts some of America’s most hated and high-risk inmates.

Chauvin was due to appear in court on Monday but with Minneapolis still gripped by unrest the appearance was pushed back until June 8.

Commissioner of Corrections Paul Schnell said Chauvin was moved to prison because of concerns about coronavirus and the huge influx of people being booked into Twin Cities jails on public order offenses. 

‘First and foremost, we have a COVID situation. Second of all, a large number of people could be booked into Hennepin County Jail,’ Schnell said.

Privately though, law enforcement sources told DailyMail.com the move was to ensure Chauvin – now America’s most hated inmate – was not murdered behind bars. 

‘If he was in the general jail population he would probably be dead in two minutes,’ a source told DailyMail.com. ‘This is entirely for security purposes.’ 

Chauvin will be held at the prison until next Monday when authorities face the daunting challenge of keeping his first court appearance in downtown Minneapolis shielded from further unrest.  

It’s highly unusual to lock defendants up in prison before they have been convicted, however officials did something similar in the case of disgraced Minneapolis officer Mohamed Noor who shot dead a woman in 2017 while responding to her 911 call.

‘The move to DOC custody was made out of an abundance of caution to ensure he is safely held and after concern about space in the jail due to large numbers of arrests related to the unrest over the last few nights,’ a spokesman said.

‘The DOC also took custody of former officer Mohamed Noor during the time he was in custody before being officially committed to our custody at sentencing, after a similar request in that case.

‘The processing of his [Chauvin’s] transfer to OPH, including the taking of photos, in being completed this morning. He will appear, with official photos, on the public database of inmates after that process is completed.

‘He is being held in administrative segregation outside the general population of the facility.’

Administrative segregation, a form of solitary confinement known as ‘in the hole’, is employed when inmates are deemed to be at grave risk of being attacked by other prisoners or because they pose a significant danger to others.  

According to recent data released by the Minnesota Department of Corrections, the Oak Park Heights Prison currently houses 297 murderers, 69 sexual predators and eight kidnappers.

Some 46 percent of the prison population is black.

The 16-acre, rural prison is carved into the side of a hill and has been featured on the National Geographic show America’s Hardest Prisons.

Cells are 7 by 10 feet with cement slab bed and toilets and sink made of steel so they can’t be broken off to use as weapons.

The reinforced windows are said to be so secure that it would take 12,000 hacksaw blades to cut though the steel bars.

Chauvin had spent the weekend locked in solitary confinement in a heavily fortified Minnesota jail guarded by police marksmen and barbed wire barriers, DailyMail.com can reveal.

SWAT teams armed with rifles and binoculars kept lookout from the rooftop of the Ramsey County Adult Detention Center while a phalanx of Sheriff’s Deputies stood guard behind hastily erected steel fences.

Chauvin was held there Friday through Sunday because of the carnage unfolding outside jail facilities in Minneapolis. 

Ramsey County deputies took no chances, sealing off the area with concrete bomb-proof barriers and mounting round the clock patrols in case protesters decided to target the jail in downtown Saint Paul.

But despite demonstrators running amok across large swathes of the Twin Cities, the expected onslaught never happened and authorities were able to quietly transfer Chauvin to downtown Minneapolis Sunday afternoon.

TMZ reported that Chauvin has a camera focused on him all day and and cops check on his cell in person every 15 minutes.  

Such checks said to be common in such a high-profile case. 

It has not been revealed whether the 44-year-old ex-cop, charged with the third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter of unarmed Floyd by kneeling on his neck for nine agonizing minutes, will appear in person or via video link.  

The disgraced former lawman is yet to post the $50,000 bond needed to get out of jail after bail was set Friday at $500,000.

He has two properties, one in the leafy Oakdale suburb of Saint Paul, the other in Windermere, Florida, worth that amount combined.

However DailyMail.com understands the homes are jointly owned by his beauty pageant winner wife Kellie, 45, who would likely resist any attempt to use them as surety after vowing Friday to divorce her husband of ten years. 

Kellie Chauvin released a statement on behalf of her and her family:  ‘She is devastated by Mr. Floyd’s death and her utmost sympathy lies with his family, with his loved ones and with everyone who is grieving this tragedy,’ it read. 

On Sunday, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison says he expects Chauvin to face additional charges.  

‘Let me say that we are very early in this process, very early. It is not uncommon to amend charges. It is not uncommon to add defendants,’ Ellison said Sunday, when asked how satisfied he was with the charges already filed after the incident during an interview with Fox News. 

‘The fact is that the investigation is still going on and it actually, it’s actually in the middle of the investigation, or maybe even the beginning of the middle, he explains

‘And so I don’t want anyone to conclude that these are all the charges that are going be there.’

Footage emerged last Monday of Chauvin, who is white, kneeling on the neck of Floyd until he passed out and later died, sparking outrage over police brutality and setting off the protests across the nation.

According to the criminal complaint against Chauvin, the Minneapolis police officer was said to have had his knee on Floyd’s neck for eight minutes and 46 seconds, with nearly three minutes of the time being after Floyd had become non-responsive. 

Floyd was then taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. 

Since then, protesters and Floyd’s family have called for the arrests of former officers Kueng, Lane and Thao and for a more serious charge to be brought against Chauvin. 

As the protesting has continued, mayors of several cities and other officials blamed small groups and outsiders for escalating the violence.

Protesters and Floyd’s family continue to call for the arrests of former officers Kueng, Lane and Tou Thao and for a more serious charge to be brought against Chauvin. 

‘We call on authorities to revise the charges [against Chauvin] to reflect the culpability of this officer,’ a statement from the family Friday said. 

‘We fully expect to see the other officers who did nothing to protect the life of George Floyd to be arrested and charged soon.’

The criminal complaint filed against Chauvin Friday also cited the preliminary findings from a Tuesday autopsy conducted by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner which saw ‘no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxiation or strangulation’.

‘Mr. Floyd had underlying health conditions including coronary artery disease and hypertensive heart disease,’ said the complaint from the Hennepin County Attorney.

‘The combined effects of Mr. Floyd being restrained by police, his underlying health conditions and any potential intoxicants in his system likely contributed to his death.’

The full medical examiner’s report is pending but Floyd’s family have hired the services of former New York medical officer Dr. Michael Baden to perform a second independent autopsy. 

They are unhappy with the findings from the county medical examiner that they claim create an ‘illusion’ of underlying health conditions being responsible for his death.
