Just because he was driving high on meth doesn't mean he deserved to die. But resisting arrest high on meth is never a good starting point. But I'm sure that's also victim blaming.
Why can't this be a bad cop with bad training who excecised terrible judgment in restraining someone that led to their death? Send the cop to jail for manslaughter. Improve police training on non lethal holds, and try and do better? There's zero evidence this is a racially motivated attack or murder. Zero.

Let's inject some facts into the mix here. Here's the drug screen from Floyd's autopsy.
Fentanyl 11 ng/mL2.
Norfentanyl 5.6 ng/mL3.
4-ANPP 0.65 ng/mL4.
Methamphetamine 19 ng/mL5.
11-Hydroxy Delta-9 THC 1.2 ng/mL;Delta-9 Carboxy THC 42 ng/mL; Delta-9 THC 2.9 ng/mL6.
Cotinine positive.
Caffeine positive.
Here are the cutoffs to pass a drug test.
Drug Nanograms per Milliliter (ng/ml)
Marijuana metabolite - 15
Cocaine metabolite - 100
Opiates
Morphine - 2000
Codeine - 2000
6-acetylmorphine - 10
Phencyclidine (PCP) 25
Amphetamines
Amphetamine - 250
Methamphetamine - 250
MDMA - 250
MDA - 250
MDEA - 250
Drug detection times are also important, as they give us an idea of possible use. The longer the detection time and the smaller the amount means the drug was ingested further in the past.
Amphetamines - 1-2 days
Cocaine - 1-4 days
Methamphetamine - 1-4 days
Phencyclidine - 2-8 days
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) - 1 day to five weeks.
The trace levels in Floyd's blood stream do not support he was high on anything. He was a drug user, but he had not used that day and was not high at the time of his death.
