You're all missing another important thing: He was on meth as well. A dose of heroin with methamphetamine is a speed ball. The methamphetamine counteracts the effects of the opioids in his system, but because of the stimulating effects, you can easily administer a lethal dose to yourself without knowing. The amount of drugs in his system is insane. He probably 'couldn't breathe' because the effects of the meth were wearing off and the massive amounts of opioids in his system were causing him to not be able to breath properly.
Fucking hell. Never trust the media on this shit, especially Mike Brown who it turned out was beating up a cop and trying to take his gun.
On the issue of drug use, I have heard some outrageous defenses. One was that the level of fentanyl in his body was not a lethal levels as he had developed a tolerance to it.
While such a claim is probably true, doesn't that mean that level of sustained drug abuse could damage his organs?
And the cops executed a no knock warrant. And Breonna was sleeping in bed. And she was an EMT instead of a career criminal. And again, her death came as a DIRECT result of police actions.
Her
ex-boyfriend was a drug dealer and was convicted. She rented a car for him and a
dead body was found in it. Lastly, while her ex-boyfriend was in jail he called associates and
advised them that Breonna Taylor had enough his money for bail in addition to other belongings (drugs or other illicit items were not states but it could have been code.)
I have almost gone woke once but my ability to accept new evidence and challenge my assumptions prevented that.
It's happened so many times at this point that my first instinct upon hearing about another good boy who dindu nuffin getting cut down by the cops is to wonder what bad shit they'd gotten up to this time. Invariably, I'm proven right for being skeptical. Every single one of these martyrs actually did fuck up and get into trouble, frequently provoking their own death in the process. Has there been a single case in recent memory where it really was an innocent black man who really did nothing wrong? For the life of me, I can't think of any.
Their have been ideas tossed around that BLM pushes these type of cases on purpose. It's much easier to fundraise, shit on Republicans, and gather support for leftist causes if you have an enemy and no competition.
But, Occums Razor and such.
The reason for stuff like this is obvious, Trump's muslim ban wasn't actually a ban on all muslims, but rather a ban on certain muslim countries known to produce extremists/terrorists.
It was more on countries with a questionable state security apparatus. Such, if the intelligence agencies are infiltrated with terrorist sympathizers the chance when we run a background for a visa and it passes for an actual terrorist is quite high.
Snopes is the most notoriously politically biased of all those Deboonking sites. I think there is a meme somewhere where Trump states a simple fact about Detroit or Paris being a shithole next to Ted Cruz outright making a mistake about something and Cruz gets a mixed rating while Trump is called a liar, the subheader for Trump was some bullshit about how the numbers were right but the intent of his words was wrong.
There has to be weight to that old theory that media outlets are a CIA psyop or someshit.
Fact checker get to select the claim to deboonk and tend to select the one that just goes slightly too far while getting the main criticism right.
