Drugs and drug addiction
Isn’t it true that Floyd had heart disease and fentanyl in his system when he died? Did he actually die from ex fixation? Or did he have a heart attack and die? 71.247.65.168 (talk) 21:17, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The medical examiner's report and reliable sources say he died of asphyxiation from neck compression EvergreenFir(talk) 21:19, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What’s that supposed to mean? Extra mayo? Acroterion(talk) 04:56, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It means they left a lot out about the guys character. He was a drug user and dealer. He did have many criminal charges. An I'm sure this page left out prior resisting arrests. Sad story, but the guy isn't the one to be held up. Many innocent people had their lives taken by the police. All different types of people. This page is a mockery. 47.26.140.246 (talk) 14:00, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, this is a vague assertion, we mention his drugs and other arrests. Slatersteven (talk) 14:03, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That’s an extra mayo response 107.115.94.59 (talk) 12:28, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No it's a "you already have Mayo" response. What this thread is about is people wanting it and wanting it now without really being clear what it is. Slatersteven (talk) 12:35, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
George foyd
He didn't technically fully killed the other officer. Just a bullet wound toke long to having him be in the hospital in the ER. Possibly and as long as it toke to get George in handcuffs and to calming him down. But not necessary choking him technically while being on the ground. 98.97.24.242 (talk) 15:04, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
George Floyd did to kill any police office, are you on the right page? Slatersteven (talk) 15:10, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Semi-protected edit request on 26 May 2024
Hi where it says, In 2007, Floyd faced charges for aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon; according to investigators, he had entered an apartment by impersonating a water department worker and barging in with five other men, then held a pistol to a woman's stomach and searched for items to steal. This part is all fiction. The woman in question who this is said to happened to. Is this A 27-year-old student living in Madrid was attacked and raped by a man two weekends ago close to the bus station in the Aluche neighborhood in the south of the capital, according to sources from police headquarters.
Andrea Sicignano, who has been living in Madrid for the past six months, described via a public post on her Facebook account what happened to her as she returned home from a night out with a friend. the men dress as water service men. And held a gun to a pregnant woman. George flloyd never did anything to the woman 2601:207:82:6CB0:903:9975:F11:7CC7 (talk) 03:40, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Protests v. riots
I feel like this edit by @ChillyKnight: requires some conversation, especially in light of Q8 in the topheader. Thoughts? Therapyisgood (talk) 18:28, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Happy to have a conversation about it. From my perspective Q8/A8 is somewhat unreasonable. A8 states "Because multiple reliable sources call them protests, not riots." While this is true, there are also reliable sources that do refer to them as riots. For example:
Maybe, but onus is clear, you need to get consneus. Slatersteven (talk) 18:45, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, the heading here is mischaracterizing the discussion somewhat. This isn't about whether the demonstrations should be called "protests" or "riots". My point is that since reliable sources mention both protests and riots taking place, we should be factual and include both. ChillyKnight (talk) 04:50, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Per death certificate, George Floyd’s cause of death was a Fentanyl overdose, not from the knee on his neck by the police officer. 2600:6C5D:6300:408D:2DDA:6BDD:EA35:1D5 (talk) 16:03, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
