> This author tries really hard to prove that he didn't say "I ate too many drugs" to the point of absurdity. Who knows what he said? Nobody really. There isn't a reason to conjure reasons to pidgenhole a dead man's words to fit a narrative Yeah, I don't think anybody can reasonably interpret exactly what Floyd said under the influence of drugs, given the quality of the video. Hearing it two different times I came to two different conclusions, depending on the setup following up the clip. Many people I've asked have heard it both ways too - it's simply too borderline. > Especially considering one of the two things isnt even factual if you read the autopsy. Floyd definitely was incredibly intoxicated Exactly. I think the number was something like four times the lethal amount and there is video evidence that he was foaming at the mouth. In any case, if he said "I ain't do no drugs", it was clearly a lie given the drug dealer in his car (refusing to be a witness) and the high levels of drugs found in his bloodstream - the same type that almost killed him previously. If he said "I ate too many drugs", then it's just an admittance of the state he was clearly in from the evidence seen so far. In any case, I don't see how it helps the prosecution in the Floyd trial. I'm going to wait out for more evidence of course. In any case, I will be annoyed if after having had the opportunity to present all available evidence and an independent jury has reviewed it - if there are violent protests/riots in reaction to whatever the verdict is.
