Weird that he died from fentanyl at the exact same time was he was being choked to death

Well no because an overdose of fentanyl induces that

Guess you never saw the trial or the video of how Saint Fentanyl acted prior to being restrained

Medical examiner testified saying fentanyl was a contributing factor but not the direct cause of death. George Floyd was murdered and people like you are essentially saying he deserved to die because of his behavior. Cops are not the judge, jury, and executioner, and if they were capable of holding him down and killing him then they were capable of handcuffing and arresting him, but chose not to.
