CNN just reported that George Floyd's autopsy results showed that strangulation was not the cause of his death, but an air choke, manual strangulation, is usually diagnosed by a M.E. because it more often than not results in a fractured hyoid bone; however, a blood choke is accomplished by the compression of the carotid arteries, which run up either side of the neck, so a blood choke doesn't break the hyoid, and that is how Chauvin murdered George Floyd. Chauvin even adjusts his knee to make sure it is on the carotid, and that is why he keeps pressure on his neck for two and a half minutes after George stops struggling--he was making sure he was dead by keeping blood flow to the brain restricted. It should be 1st not 3rd degree murder, because it was premeditated and deliberate, and Chauvin knew exactly what he was doing, for cops are taught basic jiujitsu. The carotid arteries are attacked in a technique that is called a "rear naked choke" to render someone unconscious, and all cops are familiar with the rear naked choke; it is also sometimes referred to as a "sleeper hold" by catch wrestlers.
