Independent experts hired by the family of the deceased after the arrest of George Floyd and medical experts Hennepin County in Minnesota came to the conclusion that his death was violent, but disagreed about what was the cause, according to CNN.

According to independent experts, Floyd died of strangulation and his death was caused by pressure on the neck and back. The pressure of the blocked blood flow to his brain, which was the cause of death. The County medical examiners, in turn, argue that the cause of death was heart failure on the background of the use of force by the police, no mention of asphyxia. The report also says that Floyd was arteriosclerotic disease and hypertensive heart disease. Independent experts found the body of Floyd signs of disease, which could become one of the causes of death.

In addition, according to the district coroner, the body of Floyd found traces of intoxication with methamphetamine and synthetic opiate fentanyl. However, the report doesn’t say how much drug did the victim and how this could affect the cause of death. The family’s lawyer, Floyd Antonio’s Romanucci said that alcohol or drugs has no relationship to the cause of death, which should be recognized as a murder.

Previously, the Hennepin County medical examiner found no evidence to “confirm the diagnosis of positional asphyxia or suffocation”. It was reported that the death of Floyd could contribute to health problems or “potential intoxicant”. Independent experts have opposed this version.

“The police have formed a false impression that if you can speak you can breathe. This is not true,” said one of the independent medical expert, Dr. Michael Baden, commenting on the fact that Floyd spoke to the police officer sitting on his neck with his knee that can’t breathe.

“George died because he needed to breathe. He needed to breathe air,” said another family lawyer, Ben crump, intention to press charges of murder against all the police officers involved in the arrest of Floyd. One of them, which produced an immediate detention, Derek suture, already accused of murder in the third degree, while crump insists on charging him with more serious first-degree murder. Antonio’s Romanucci also said that the responsibility should be held, and three other participants of arrest, because they knew that their actions can result in the death of a detainee.

In the US protests triggered by the death of Floyd and the first which was peaceful. In Minneapolis, the epicenter of the protests, major riots stopped after the deployment of the National guard and the imposition of emergency but the looting continues, and the residents themselves organize their own protection. According to them, the police are so overwhelmed with work that won’t even return calls.

“We are a few people in an isolated house in the next quarter, – has told to the special correspondent of Le Figaro in Minneapolis one of the residents. – If you hear us banging on the pots, then we have a problem and we need help… Then go to some strange types. Saturday morning, one man raided the Laundry, like that, in broad daylight, at 7:30 in the morning. Police nowhere to be found. They are broken to pieces” (translation InoPressa).

Self-organization of residents began with neighborhood groups WhatsApp, now they have tables with schedules of active duty. “Police no longer, and after dark already you can’t trust anyone. We also need to be careful with the soldiers of the National guard who are very nervous,” – said one of the “guards”-volunteers. According to the people who are compelled to protect their property from the riots, the police guarding banks and offices in the centre of the city, “but does nothing for the colored people.”

In new York Manhattan rioters looted several shops. As reports CBS New York, the wave of robberies started with Chelsea, then protesters destroyed several shops in SOHO, the Flatiron district and Midtown. Particularly affected are stores like Michael Kors, Nintendo, AT&T and Chanel.

Many of the stores didn’t work because of the pandemic of coronavirus, and some of them are owned by small companies or individuals that can not open due to damage. Protesters were still on the streets of new York city, despite a curfew which came at 23:00. Curfew introduced in the city yesterday, it will expire in 5:00 (12:00 GMT) on 2 June.

Meanwhile, brothers George, Floyd was addressed to the protesters, condemning the pogroms. “What are you all doing?.. It will not bring back my brother,” said Terence Floyd, quoted by CBS. He stressed that his family is peaceful and pious, and urged the protesters to “act differently”.

Another brother of the deceased Rodney bago also urged the protesters to stop the violence: “I ask the world the same way as my brother asked us if he could see the situation, if he were here. World. Peaceful protests. This is the best option that we must get justice”.

US President, Donald trump has decided to send additional Federal troops to suppress riots in the country. In addition, Federal authorities urged state governors to involve the National guard.

Trump called the governors “weak” and urged them to “be more assertive” against the protesters, demanding to suppress the protests by forces of the national guard. He also said “Boobs” those governors who have been slow to use the security forces, and proposed to apply strict measures to the protesters in new York, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles.

“You have to arrest people, you have to hunt down people, you have to put them in jail for 10 years, and you’ll never see this stuff again,” said trump, calling to treat the protesters as violent criminals. He also said that Minnesota, where the protests began, “became a laughingstock” for the whole world.

Not all governors agreed with the President of the United States. So, the Governor of Illinois Jay Pritzker described the call for trump to quell the unrest as “incitement”, which only aggravates the situation. And the Governor of Maine Janet mills expressed concern with the planned trump’s visit to the region. “Your presence may cause a security problem in our state,” she said.
