Derek Chauvin murder trial (George Floyd)

Fentanyl overdose comes about from slowing the breathing and putting the person into a state of coma.. all testimonies in court from the experts they seen no evidence of an overdose occuring (even Fowler couldn't couldn't say it was an overdose).

This is the thing.

There is no evidence he was choked, we can't say for sure he died of an overdose (although we know 95% of people would die from the level of fentanyl he had in his blood).

What we know for sure is he required medical help (he said he can't breath before the kneeing started) but Chauvin chose to hold him on the ground until he died.

So Chauvin needed prison time, but this weird US-style extremism seems to have invaded Ireland, so many people here are pretending this was a racist killing, fentanyl had nothing to do with it (despite the evidence), and he was definitely choked to death (despite the lack of evidence).

How about people just be reasonable and admit the dude was overdosing and the piece of **** cop prevented him from getting help so he died.

Cause he wasn't overdosing. Have you completely removed the fact that George was a regular drug user, that people who regularly use drugs build up a tolerance, for the data set you reference there's also the 5% that don't die, can we put George in that 5%? Or is it he's definitely In the 95%

I'm in camp of it wasn't racism.

Thanks for doing my hard for explaining that units are very important in science.

Also to note is that there's another clue in the title.

A death from fentanyl overdose.

While the science in the paper is sound, and they also got their units right unlike some hear, it's also a gross scientific fallacy to give a sweeping statement about lethal dose levels based on a single case. Even more so if you don't understand how units work.

Micrograms per litre are the same as nanograms per millilitre.

Are you going to keep gaslighting everyone?

Page 186 of the paper I linked to clearly proves you are wrong, but instead of learning something new and showing a bit of decency, you have to gaslight. Shameful.

No it's not. You're 3 orders of magnitude off.

Again with the lying.

Here's a literal screenshot from the paper:

micrograms per litre.

I think there is another common paper that cites 2mg of fentanyl as a fatal dose but I understand a fatal dose is a dose that kills everyone, not 95 in 100 addicts, really everyone. Very different concepts right?

This is why I linked to a particular paper which goes through deaths and shows the dosage.

It's fascinating watching people here deny science because it disagrees with their belief system.

You are just plain wrong. ml/L is 1ppm. ng/ml is 0.001 ppm.

That is undisputable fact.

Also thanks for the screenshot but there's absolutely no context there. ug/L of what. And from where? You need context. That's what units are for.

Are you able to stop lying?

Here's two websites which convert microgram per litre to nanogram per millilitre:

https://www.convertunits.com/from/microgram+per+litre/to/nanogram+per+millilitre

http://www.endmemo.com/sconvert/ug_lng_ml.php

As you can see microgram per litre and nanogram per millilitre are the same.

I cannot believe you're now trying to pretend units of measurement mean nothing if we don't know what're being measured. Are you one of those people who thinks a ton of feathers is lighter than a ton of iron?

it's the beauty of modern ideology.

Personal opinion matters more than evidence

They're literally jumping through hoops (or rather, gaslighting) to deny science.

But why? Why is it so difficult for them to accept Floyd was a serious drug addict who had a fatal amount of fentanyl in him? I feel like these people are acting like a christian extremist having a panic attack because someone suggested Jesus might have had sex every now and then.

You said milligrams. You're changing the goalposts not me.

And again, where are those values from and why is there such a massive range? Why is there nothing about other substances in the blood which are from medical evidence that is required to trigger a fatal response with low levels of fentanyl?

Again with the lying. How is this allowed?

I've never said milligram and I've consistently said micrograms.

And where are the values from? I've repeated stated they're from a paper I linked to.

Well it's about time we got some humans, put them in a lab and tested them to determine the LD50. :pac::pac::pac:

I would be happy to suggest some test subjects.

We know the lethal dose for humans.

Google "fentanyl overdose nanogram oxford" and click the second link.

I don't know why but there are a few people here trying to deny science and hoping people will ignore the fact Floyd was likely overdosing or dying when arrested.

This doesn't excuse what the cop did and in fact makes it worse.

My comment was a joke.

LD stands for "Lethal Dose". LD50 is the amount of a material, given all at once, which causes the death of 50% (one half) of a group of test animals. The test process involves killing a lot of animals. I was joking about substituting people instead of animals.

Anyway, as has already been established, I've quite a juvenile sense of humour. Carry on.

Everyone's Google results will be different. What's the paper ref?
