Strange that there's a handful of people in the comments who seem to think they know more about a medical issue than this medical expert. This testimony is chilling.
@@evolvingsoul2370 I actually am an expert in how opiates effect the body before death and I absolutely know that opiates depress breathing even before you fall into a coma. His drug use was a deciding factor in his death. Along with the fact that he had people on top of him. But if he’d been a healthy, normal human being he would have survived, I’m almost sure of it. One expert at a trial doesn’t mean much. I agree he was convincing but he was being disingenuous about the dangers of opiates.
Not strange. It’s sad and pathetic. If you try to ask what their medical credentials are, they most certainly will evade the answer. This doctor was likable, credible, and he knew how to put all the complexities of our breathing system into layman’s terms.
That is one impressive Irish Doctor. I never really understood what happened to Mr Floyd until Dr Tobin explained it in court. I think his video is going to become part of police training to avoid this problem in future. Maybe with subtitles as he does not speak standard America english. He was not even paid for his work in court. Being Irish he was seen as the impartial outsider.
@@robotron17 How many academics do you know, that are recognised as experts in their field for more than 2 decades ? I'm German and I've actually came across Dr.Tobin's work in pathophysiology in my undergrad. years back in 2008. Soooo please enlighten me ...
Don't know who need to hear this but don't argue with bots and racists they are not worth your time. We know they murdered that man a doctor proved it and we all watched it on video.
Weird question do you think that cop went to work that day saying I’m gonna kill a black guy so let’s stop making this a race issue it’s not in anyway it’s a cop that abused his powers and killed a man for know fucking reason
@@_zjjk_2131 I don't think anyone believes that Chauvin went to work intending 2 kill a black man that day...🤨 But we're not going to pretend that the amount of force they used had nothing 2 do with the color of Mr. Floyd's skin!!
When that one officer suggested to Chauvin to turn Floyd on his side, as per his training. Had Chauvin said, "Yes, let's do it." There's a chance he might still be alive today
That request just may save him from jail time, he spoke up due in part fresh out of academy, I surprised the prosecutor didn't call him to testify as part of some deal that would be powerful!
You're right, they may have been able to save him. But Chauvin was the senior officer and the other three were cowards. They could have gotten off Floyd and knocked Chauvin over. They're all guilty.
@@divinebeauty2070 why? I started a job a couple days before finding out the company was actively covering for and protecting sex offenders that worked for them and quit that same day. If youre not a piece of crap you would speak up regardless
@@divinebeauty2070 Yeah I have some sympathy for the new officers who clearly deferred to their senior, but they shouldn't escape a sentence bc of this. They weren't under threat and just following orders makes a terrible moral defense.
if he told the jury at 7:27 to maybe touch theyre rib cages as they breathe in that would gave been really good. you could can touch your own rib cage and do what he says and its true.
@@michaelcutcher8592 Agree absolutely and thanks God this wonderful Doctor did all this work, for NO money at all ❤🙏🕊 He could become $ 500 for each hour for about 1000 hours of his work. But Dr Martin Tobin is an Angel for many and for George Floyd ❤❤❤❤
@@regworld1167 if I was was the defense I would say that is is both Chauvin and King's fault that Floyd died but it wasnt the knee to the neck but rather the weight on his back. I would then argue that the cops have no knowledge of how the body works when breathing. Take the lesser charge of manslaughter.
@@iantrimbath6396 Argument invalid. The doctor makes clear that his foot was ELEVATED inches from the ground instead of planted on the floor. This illustrates intent to show no restraint even after immobilization, therefore implying intent to assume all 500lbs of body weight to the nape of the subject’s neck.
@@royjones8312 Unimportant. He breathed and moved for a long time. When he didn't, it was not because of anything happening to him. That's already established.
Yup, and the significance of what he’s explaining still hits like a nuclear blast!!! His expertise being lent to this case gives me hope. Hopefully the jury took this all in, and took good notes to remember for deliberation!
@@jessikabat6200 Yes , we have to trust God because we’ve seen many in just this decade that should have ended in conviction but did not.

America has got real Professionals for real. The Doctor just explained inspiration and expiration we used to learn in Africa for a whole Class person in just 5minutes. I wish Dr. Tobin was my high School Biology teacher, I'd been a medical Doctor instead of electrical engineering now!
This guy is very good. Best doctor they have had on the stand. It's pure murder he has explained to a tea about the force they used this is a horrible way to die. He needs the highest sentence possible. I would even charge the other officers to
As an Irish woman in Ireland, I cried & cried for George. Im proud of our Irish Doctor, helping explain the Murder of Poor George. To the Floyd family, Ireland stands with you, truely we do. Were all thinking of you. Rest in Peace George.
He speaks in laymans terms which is very helpful to the Jury. The Irish accent is so strong even though he's in the states for years. George was murdered like an animal. Disgusting. Hope he goes down big time,for a long time. Have been following the case live here in Ireland since the start. Best wishes to Floyd's family going through this nightmare. Condolences and Heart felt sympathy from Ireland
@@stephenchason7346 what do you mean? Whether he was choking or not, this man just proved how these officers caused George Floyd to be unable to breath
@@chrisbuss3208 It was so sad hearing what happened to him. I hadn't watched the video and his testimony made me finally see the whole thing. So sad : (
@@stephenchason7346 you are an idiot.... if you are being "choked" that means your blood just isnt getting oxygen and the oxygen isnt getting into ur brain same thing if ur drowning. if the artieries in your neck are being compressed and blood is not getting to ur brain its THE SAME THING as being choked u are breathing but the oxygen just does not get into ur brain? same as being choked or drowning? are u an idiot?
Hello from South Africa. Watching the trial with great interest. This doctor just hit it out of the ground. Good on you sir. You're a credit to your profession and humanity.
This is the restraint method that is taught.; healthy people that aren't overdosing have no problem with this restraint which is why it's preferred over tasering. It takes over 500 pounds, and in Floyd,s case probably over 1000 pounds on his lungs to keep him from breathing. All of the racists want to make this a race issue without realizing Chauvin married a person of color (a racist term BTW).
@@joemonroe9456 him marrying a person of color doesn’t negate him not being a racist. Many slaves owners had rape children who they in turn still put to work. You have many racist and also pedophiles move to countries where they can be gratified sexually with underaged children and not get in trouble for it . Many of those countries are asian countries. They would be considered racist predators.
@@marcusbishop6124 LOL. You really believe that he's a racist? And if so, based on what evidence. If he was, I'm sure we would be hearing about it non stop from the media. They know that most rational people won't buy that nonsense.

@@helmedon why only that? Chauvin's knee wasn't the direct cause of death. The doctors all said it was Floyd's inability. To expand his chest to breath because of the weait on him and the position they had him. So it's all of them. They all should be fiven the same charges.

@@theboogeyman2813 I wouldn't say Absolutely nothing to do with his death, but it is not the main reason he died. He did have drugs on him and he did ingest them. However the officers saw his behavior, I.E acting erratically, becoming flamboyant and just acting overall out of the normal. they fulfilled his request of taking him out of the car. Not to his request there was a knee put on his neck. Instead of doing their job and providing basic medical aid they put a knee on his neck and made the situation worse. But i'm not here to debate with people who believe he OD'd because they are not open minded and tend to have a linear mindset and think in only one way. Which is :Cops Good, Criminals Bad.
Ya, this Dr. Is amazing at explaining the details.. if his knowledge of how Floyd was deprived to his right to breath doesn't convict all the officers.....I don't know what will l.
@Barry Burton Get three buddies of yours to imitate what happened to Floyd. You play Floyd. One guy on your legs, one guy on your back, and one guy on your neck. 9 minutes on the floor with all that pressure on you and tell me how you feel.
@Barry Burton Bull. I just watched the video of the lethal doses of fentanyl. If Floyd was really as high as many claim, he wouldn’t have been able to kick or scream. He would have been out long before he was put on the ground. He’d be damn near comatose. If he was overdosing while in police custody, they should have put him in a recovery position, not in a restraining position. That crowder experiment was similar, but not the same. The guy was resting mostly on his shoulders. Even when he was on his neck, he wasn’t kneeling like Chauvin was. Also there was a third officer who was on Floyd’s back.
@Barry Burton That was a given that Crowder wasn’t high. There was one officer missing in his experiment and the positions his guys took weren’t the same. Again, the amount of drugs in Floyd’s system wasn’t lethal. Anyone overdosing on fentanyl isn’t screaming or moving around. If Floyd was complaining about not being able to breathe before he was taken out of the cruiser, why would Chauvin put him in a position where breathing would be more difficult? If Floyd was overdosing while in police custody, why didn’t Chauvin put his subject in a recovery position long before the ambulance arrived?
@Carbon_6 "Can't breath" is subjective in this sense. But if you absolutely can not move any air through the vocal cords you can not talk. The ability to talk clearly and in complete sentences decreases as ventilation is compromised. It's kind of like when you run and get out of breath really bad. You can only speak one word at a time because you have to catch your breath. Various degrees of dyspnea will result in varying degrees of ability to talk. The ones who are most dyspnic sometimes struggle to get just one word out. Those are usually the ones who get intubated. Depending on the etiology of the dyspnea if a person can get a couple of words out intubation may be avoided with other prompt interventions.
Lesson, 1. Never resist arrest for crimes you willingly commit 2. That $20 would have been paid by a hardworking clerk. Finally Ask the pregnant woman that Floyd robbed with a gun pointed at her stomach your question.
He killed a human being.. then stayed three extra minutes for good measure. People wonder why George Floyd acted the way he did when those ex -cops approached him.! If that was a white 46 year old male who used drugs would it make it any different? 🤔
We are very proud of Dr Martin Tobin here in Kilkenny, Ireland, where Dr Tobin is from 😊 He spoke so well and explained so clearly and was so easy to listen to. An amazing man.
You must be proud for Dr Tobin. A distinguished, highly knowledgeable and intelligent in his field. Dr Tobin is a gem for this equally outstanding prosecution lawyers.
Yesss! He explained it and painted a picture so well if you didnt know mediacal examination you understood it the way he put it. Thank you for wanting to be a part of TRUTH!

not really, and his testimony was supposition. Do they teach medical students to diagnose people merely from videos? The only person who had the most authority was the guy who actually saw Chauvins body after death-- and he stated it was not asphyxia.
@@anlace3447 Chavin was proven innocent by Nelson's final arguments for him. Any person that really knows law will tell you that Nelson's reasoning, and organization of the facts, and the pinpoint honesty that he laid out was ingenious. However, this trial is identical to the Soviet show trials ,where no matter what proof you presented ; you were always found guilty. One of the alternate jurors spoke as if they were scared to death that they would never leave the court alive , if they found Chavin , not guilty. She spoke of hearing the helicopters above , and knowing that there was a very dangerous crowd outside. I heard myself that they spoke of burning the place down, if Chavin walked. Now they're going to try Chavin's partners ; an asian , a caucasian, and a black American. His wife is an asian . America ! Fight to save the only country that has ever existed based on the freedom of the individual and all the individuals became one mighty nation, and remain so; despite a multitude of years that the U.S. has struggled to live up to its promises; no one can say that today in 2021 that America is a racist country. nor, can they say that Americans don't have the greatest possibility of the highest standard of living and the best chance of happiness that has ever existed anywhere in the world . You better realize that Chavin is just one brick in the left's play book; if Americans don't fight now , you may be just another political brick to tear down.
An lace you’re delusional and are the type of person to grasp for any straw that will confirm your biases. There’s a reason the piece of shut will live his pathetic excuse for a life in prison.
@@georgepoly4842 But you haven't addressed my claims, just said mean things about mean personally. The medical examiner stated the cause of Floyd's death was different from what Dr. Tobin said. So we have to different causes of death put forth by the prosecution's own witnesses, which are we to believe? This question of who to believe is reasonable doubt. That's not bias, I couldn't give a crap whether Chauvin was convicted or not.
No Jurors nodding off today eh. Very learned man with a lovely honest direct clear way about him. You can tell that he doesn't HAVE to prove anthing. When you know your field inside outside frontwards backwards nothing can detract from what and how you deliver testimony with listners knowing in their heart this is TRUE and the entire courtroom spellbound and in total silence. Wish I could have seen Chauvins' squashed up little mean - mouth face. This quiet and unassuming man done somthing extra-ordinary Today. Luv from UK - Big up Ireland.
He doesn't have to prove anything because they gave the defense his testimony the night before, giving them very little time to actually disprove his stuff. He also said some dubious stuff regarding the fentanyl and methamphetamine usage, along with downplaying smoking. He's knowledgeable in his field, no doubt, but it was clear he had some bias involved.
@@LorraineTapper All you have to do is do your research. Ever since the Floyd stuff came out I've been doing research into the effects of fentanyl on the body, along with watching some documentaries on the fentanyl drug epidemic in the U.S. and Canada. One doesn't have to be an expert in order to learn more about things, and the fact that we can seek out second opinions is extremely commonplace. Sometimes, the doctor isn't always right, and by his own admission to Nelson, he's making some assumptions with his view on the case (although again, due to his bias, he refuses to fully admit this).
@@SpScarletSpider my question was what is your area of expertise, not what you researched. Do you really think your research can even come close to a man with over 40 years experience, who has written many books and won awards? Hubris
The doctor has educated us on things we didn't even know before. The handcuffs position and the street's effect on Floyd. Explaining the anatomy and how FLOYD COULDN'T BREATH.
@@londonjones4944 I see that. Chauvins foot bent back which could exert more downward force AND Chauvins arm inside his trouser pocket just possibly pushing his left thigh down on to the neck. We will never know if these two things are of any significance. They are not mentioned in this trial so far. The trail of liquid under the car has been described by the defense team as over flow from the police cars air conditioning. Maybe it was in fact urine from George Floyd when his body had ceased functioning. We will never know.
It is clear to me Floyd was full of bad drugs and these guys have put this thug in jail numerous times. Why defend this drug thug woman beater? All I hear is how sweet these thugs are and they are just nice people going about their way helping the community. Sorry, I ain't buying it.
Somewhat in defense of the defense attorney, I wouldn't want to be in his shoes. He has little to work with. It was distracting crowds, then it was pre-existing health issues... by the end of the day today, he was blaming the paramedics. He's looking for anything that will stick - anything. His best hope at this point is a mistrial... that one rogue juror.
I’m just saying he did a lot of talking and pleading or whatever for a knee on the neck!! Also , if you watch the full body cam , George Floyd was saying he couldn’t breathe before they even put him to the ground !! Ijs
I feel like even if his knee was on Floyd's back, that would still cause an immense amount of difficulty breathing. That's still someone's whole bodyweight pressed on top of you.
@@Nehway Yes, and, actually, Chavin had one knee on Mr. Floyd's back, one knee on his neck, and he was twisting Mr. Floyd's fingers of his left hand very painfully, as he shoved Mr. Floyd's cuffed hands high up on his back, between his shoulder blades, creating even greater pressure and pain. Imagine yourself in that position. It had to have been excruciating. And Mr. Floyd wasn't even struggling. It looked malicious to me.
They'll ignore that part, lmao. These cop killer defenders love to spread the drugs narrative but don't want to acknowledge the fact that when GF was in handcuffs, prone, when he eventually stopped breathing and his pulse had stopped, Chauvin's knee was STILL on him as if GF was some sort of killing machine that could fake his pulse being gone until they let him go. One ear out the other with these folks. Thank god they're not on the jury, they just see what they wanna see.
without justifying Chauvin kneeing on his neck, up to that point the actions were appropriate he was resiting arrest. A person in handcuffs can very much be a threat lol
@@meganoob12 What about that part where he was visibly dead and he still kept the knee there? Before death, while he was foaming at the mouth, couldn’t he lift the knee up even a TEENY bit? Also, even if GF was a POS before and on drugs, did he deserve to die? Shouldn’t they help him live? Since it’s his past that’s most important, how about the cop’s past then? If we can believe the rumors about GF then shall we also believe what we heard about Chauvin? They say he had a history of roughing up Black people especially and using excessive force; doesn’t that mean he also deserves death? Seeing as we all agree GF deserved to be murdered for doing something bad in his past, shouldn’t we just use Chauvin’s past to justify killing him as well? Because if we can’t agree on that, I’m afraid it might mean GF deserved death simply because of we know what. 🤷🏾♀️
The other 2 were new police and the one on his neck was a veteran cop so they new guys didn’t criticize they didn’t know but the guy on his neck knew what he was doing
I loved the slam dunk at the end - 'Do people who have a fetanol overdose usually go into a coma before death? Expert- ''yes'' Prosecutor- " was George Floyd in a coma before he died?'' Expert- ''No'' 💥
Amazing that people are still trying to debate the facts of this case. Fr Chauvin is dead to rights! The only thing that can save him now is the jury... because his defense attorney is trash...
@@famu53 Even after watching the trial today it was discovered that an officer said out loud that he doesn't have a pulse, and they still continued. Even if you're the best defence attorney, good luck trying to defend that one.

@@bingram2011 I was not impressed by anything the defense has done during cross examinations. However, I am not a legal or medical expert.

I totally agree with you on how twisted this system is. It’s okay though, I have complete confidence that God will deal with him when his time comes...
Listening to this guy was amazing, both in terms of his professional knowledge and him as a person. What a genuinely nice and warm guy, yet straight to the point and with extreme precision. And humble too. This testimony was nothing less than a disaster for the defense, it's almost as if this testimony alone would be enough. Everything else pales in comparison.
During Dr Tobin's evidence there is a moment where he states, to the second, while the film is being shown, "that's the moment the life goes out of his body". In his measured, soft Irish accent; very powerful and upsetting.
Ya I saw that he got a little emotional there. And when it was shown in a few slides that '3:02 (of knee still applied) to the neck, after oxygen had left the body.'
@@toma1435 it was a combination of things that the cops did that killed the man. Other cops will be standing trial too so it’s not all on Chauvin. He’s only the biggest offender and needs to do the time.
@PIGS TO THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE #pigstotheslaughterhouse I mean how do you expect cops to understand all this? Even if you establish that they indeed prevented him from breathing, if they were following procedure or did not intend to stop him from breathing, it's totally irrelevant information. Plus, isn't the cause of death a heart attack.
No chance of disputing him? George Floyd himself disputes his claim, because George was moaning 'I can't breathe, I'm going to die, I'm choking' etc over and over long before cops even had a hand on him. He was doing it standing by the car, and in the back of the car, and when he was kicking his way out of the car.
I've got a degree in biomedical engineering and am very troubled by what he's asserting. abdominal breathing absolutely doesn't reqiure the chest to expand or move upward.
@@beetalius except It does...why are you trying to lie to people when we can all test this for ourselves by just breathing. If you do have a degree, which I doubt very much, you may as well trash it because you clearly didn't learn much.
To all the people pointing to Floyd's past as a reason he deserved to die, just admit you don't believe in a fair trial, and prefer to let your government's law enforcement use methods which may kill you even though you may have committed a non-lethal offense. Just ignore how law enforcement can bring mass shooters into custody after they've killed multiple people, and yet can't handle a handcuffed 46 year old with heart problems.
Just 2 to 3 milligrams of this drug can kill a person. It blocks opioid receptors and its most dangerous side effect -- like other opioids -- is respiratory depression, George had 11ng in his blood. That wont kill you? Anyone? Dont try it it will kill you. Mass shooters dont have enough drugs in their system to kill 3 grown men.

Its like if someone spends their entire life eating box after box of twinkies until they're 500 pounds and wheezing just sitting around doing nothing, then one day they're riding their rascal scooter down the sidewalk and someone pops out and says "BOO!" unexpectedly, and they die of a heart attack. Then you put that person on trial for first degree murder and imply that the 500 pounds, diet of pure twinkees, general unhealthiness had nothing to do with anything, and it could have happened to anyone.
@@williamwatkins6422 this is the stupidest comparison ever. Now if you say someone came out and put you in a chokehold while you were 500lbs, that would be more accurate. But based on your unqualified opinion, the 500lbs of fat would kill you and not the man who choked you.
Hearing it I feel I have difficulty getting air into my lungs. Its utterly devastating regardless of race, background.... once they got him in handcuffs they could let him breath
The lady he robbed at gunpoint definitely wanted to see him. He didn’t deserve this but he wasn’t a good guy and karma is a bitch. He played a hot piano and got burnt.
Dr Tobin was mesmerising, very powerful, I can listen to him all day, he made a lot of sense and hope that the Jury took all of what Dr Tobin said on board for a unanimous Guilty outcome ✨✨✨
This is the type of doctor that you want him to live for ever and help you out when you’r in need. He’s so easygoing and have a soft way to talk to people that make you want to listen to him the whole day.
Do you know how hard it would have been for us to get justice for our colored brotha if it wasnt on tape? Smh We wouldnt be fighting for justice right now, they would have closed George's case right after his death, no investigation needed.. chauvin, tao and the rest of the cops would have lied so hard through their teeth, the bystanders testimony to what they saw would have went in one ear and out the other, and the murder of coloreds would continue like changing underwear. Smh #JUSTICEFORGEORGEFLOYD ❤❤❤
@@sonnycusa Everyone. The drug war and smearing people using drugs is just another nonsensical way to control black bodies. Nothing about using drugs makes someone inhuman. All sorts of nonsense has been said about that. It's all gibberish. Why are they illegal I wonder?
And now we know why the previous witness stated that once Floyd was handcuffed, he needed to be sitting upright or laying on his side. Once of the office ask Chauvin "Shouldn't we put him on his side?" Chauvin said "No"
I work in a law firm, and we represent fire districts. Seating a person up who is cuffed is medic care 101 when they respond to arrests. They say it to the cops, to their supervisors, and have testified as such when things goor poorly These cops know the protocol. They may or may not know why the protocols are in place, but they did not follow their own departments rules. How is any of this even an issue to some people.
Ok so nobody wants to bring up experience of handling suspects on drugs. Know a sheriff who told me it took 4 officers to pin down a 120 lb female on drugs. She was still lifting officers with handcuffs on her back. Real world vs simulation.
@@danielpickrell8311 Whether he was on drugs or not, they detained him well enough, so well that he passed out. No ability to fight back. Then after the fact Chauvin decided to keep matters in his own hands and continue to apply pressure when all officers had gotten off of Floyd. This is when he looked up at the camera with his cocky look. Because he felt he was in control of Floyd’s life. Which he was...and now he shall pay the price.
@@danielpickrell8311 Dude He was Restrained because if he wasn't he would've escaped and they had Tasers if anything And they Could call Back up And they could've.......well you get the idea
Except that would show in the autopsy and it didn't. This guy works from a false premise (cause of death suffocation) and that leads him to a false conclusion.
@@Cl0ckcl0ck Correct, it did not show. However, his heart failure was due to a combination of factors, many of which were related to his difficulty to breath, which, by most means, was related to his positioning by the officer. Drugs were likely also a factor and that is important to consider in contributing to his lack of breathing (it's important not to rule them out). Understand though, that it's possible to suffocate even if no clear damage has been done to his throat. Just because the autopsy doesn't show any harm done to his throat, this does not rule out the suffocation claim as, once again, heart failure can be caused from a lack of oxygen. If you are still skeptical, I suggest you watch the raw bodycam footage here (starting from 47 minutes and onward - WARNING, it is raw footage): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0gQYMBALDXc.html
Suffocation wouldn’t leave evidence on autopsy in many cases. Depends on the force applied and the area over which the force was applied. If he was strangled with a thin rope or pair of hands with fingers encircling the neck, it’d leave brushing. If his lungs were compressed by someone’s bodyweight, there wouldn’t be a mark.
Unfortunately this doctor is choosing to totally ignore the fact George was moaning 'I can't breathe, I'm going to die' long before the cops even had a hand on him..
If you have a basic understanding of objective evidence you would know that everything Dr Tobin said is purely theoretical, none of his analysis can be verified as accurate because he assumed a bunch of stuff from video footage.
Compare this computer graphic to the actual video and it isn't the same. Look at where Chauvin's knee is in the graphic; it is on his neck as you'd expect from somebody working backward from that conclusion. But if you look at the actual video, Chauvin's knee is past the neck and covers the right tanktop strap that sits on Floyd's right trapezius. This is pseudoscience.
THIS IS SO HARD TO HEAR..I saw how those hand cuffs where so tight he cringed on camera after the arrest at the store. He knew it was not over the twenty dollar bill. He was in fear. That blue wall coming down. The man was in hand cuffs none of there actions where lawful or NECESSARY.
And they kept pushing his hands down into him. Such pain that man must have been in. Hearing his last words was heartbreaking. You're right. He knew he was going to die. He even said it, "I'm done." Twice, at least. Peace Officers! What a joke that is!
Exactly. His arrest in handcuffs was TOTALLY UNNECESSARY. Another thing, because of George Floyd's height, that was the reason why he had a difficult time entering the police car caused by him being forced by the officers FORCING George into the police car. George was NOT resisting arrest as they accuse him of doing this. You can clearly see that.
It’s one thing to be knowledgeable in your field. It’s another to explain things to an audience of your peers. But it’s most difficult to explain a complicated subject to an audience of people who are not familiar with the subject matter. Well done.
@@sgassistedliving9025 In my opinion I hope this will set a precedent in how new Cadets and Police Officers, no matter how long they have been in law enforcement, are going to need to add new protocols in their classes in restraining suspects, before the ambulance arrives, if one is needed. It will greatly help save lives if the officers will follow this new knowledge most of us did not understand, and how the full impact of restraining people greatly determines the outcome of both compliance, and when and how to use it..
Omg that image of that officer is shocking. Very upsetting. Three officers involved with a man handcuffed and not resisting in any way. All officers are responsible for his death
Do you think an image of Floyd with a gun in the abdomen of a pregnant woman is a better image ? You don’t think that would have been shocking and horrific for the woman ? Sometimes we get back what we put out in life !
This by far was the most crucial testimony for the prosecution. His explanation was thorough and allowed viewers to fully understand what happened to Floyd.
Dr. Tobin explained everything in such detail. His models and demonstrations made it easy for not only the jury, but for the entire court, to understand. George Floyd died horribly..doing everything he could to breathe...and this confirms it even more. 😢
This doctor isn't stating something accurately though. One of his big points being that the left arm was pressed into the chest. This visibly isn't the case. It WAS the case for maybe the first 30 seconds of being detained, from there the wrist was positioned to the lower back and pressure was relieved. The knee on his back being enough to cause atelectasis is arguable
@@alanbstard4 Floyd was complaining about not being able to breathe before being taken to the ground. If he was already having trouble breathing, why would Chauvin put Floyd in a position where breathing would be more difficult? They’re supposed to put subjects in a recovery position. OD, stroke, heart attack, they all go in a recovery position until an ambulance arrives.
I wish Dr. Tobin taught my human anatomy and physiology class. I could listen to his explanations for hours. He is informative, soft spoken and breaks things down so simply. Well done Dr. Tobin!
A chess game indeed, leaving no room for any doubt that the officers squeezed the life out of the poor guy - that he's a drug addict doesn't wash - without his encounter with the police that day - he will still be a LIVING drug addict today and won't be the only drug addict alive today - FACT! He didn't need effing chavin and his gang to kill him!
The most chilling part of this trial was this testimony. The most hilarious part of this trial was seeing the defence attempt to go head to head with a medical expert on medicine. Lol
Look down on your stomach and Breathe right now.Now Imagine if someone held you down tightly on your Back multiple people.Matter fact I want you and your family or friends to reenact what happend then come back with sense
Guys much bigger and scarier than he will ever be, but the problem is he'll probably be separated from the other prisoners, " for his own safety" 🙄 in an ideal world he'd be put in with the rest and blind eyes turned
@@ehs1452I did watch the video. Floyd had enough fentanyl in system to depress his breathing. Plus he was a smoker, had a heart condition, had COVID, had many drugs in his system AND had guys on top of him(not an illegal procedure). All of those things lead to his death. The prosecution and their 'expert' witnesses will never be able to prove that Chauvin did this on purpose. Which is what this trial is all about! I think society better gear up for a verdict they are NOT going to be happy with. People are thinking he’s going to go away for life ~ he will not, he may be convicted of the lesser charge of negligent homicide(and that will happen based on emotion and politics).
@@sonnycusa He was literally in handcuffs, what right did Chauvin have to kneel on his fucking neck? You need to watch the video again clearly, because it explains why Floyd died of suffocation, not fentanyl. Derek Chauvin is a murderer.
This mans demeanor and his exacting description of the body and its response to what was happening were genius. The defense will be hard pressed to find fault in his testimony.
Thank you Dr. Tobin. Just thank you. Your analysis, explanation, and education will hopefully play such a crucial role in the verdict. George deserves justice. ❤️
I tried laying on my floor in the prone position and I couldn’t breathe after almost 1 minute. I cannot imagine with 91 extra pounds on my neck for over 9 mins.
Being in the prone won’t hinder your breathing too much. Unless you have no rib cage, your rib cage is enough space between a obstacle and your lungs to expand. In the army I wear and 75 pound bulletproof vest, and almost 90 pound rucksack on my back while laying in the prone for nearly an hour.
@@Unchainedful I just explained to you I tried it and could not breathe 🤦🏾♀️. Your experience is your experience but you cannot tell me about my experience.
The way Derek was looking while having his knee on GF neck, in my observation, is as if he's looking at crowd chanting you're killing him? His look is I do what I want to do.😡😠 That's intent, in my observation.
Compare this computer graphic to the actual video and it isn't the same. Look at where Chauvin's knee is in the graphic; it is on his neck as you'd expect from somebody working backward from that conclusion. But if you look at the actual video, Chauvin's knee is past the neck and covers the right tanktop strap that sits on Floyd's right trapezius. This pseudoscience.
Now the people can see how Mr Floyd was torture to death evidence don't lie this testimony was so emotional n now we know it wasnt drugs that kill him. Everybody have struggles in life whether is drugs or alcohol but he never deserves to die in that manner
What about the footage that shows Chauvin actually kneeling on his shoulder blade? Plus the fact that Floyd was saying he couldn't breathe well before he was on the ground?
The worst humanity has to offer, that he is in a position of power bringing dishonor and and shame to the uniform and badge should have all good officers front and center with outrage
@InfoJunkie he probably wouldn't have been arrested over a fake 20 because he might not have known, but when they interrupted a drug deal in his car, and the way he was speaking, that is why he was being arrested. People need to remember this fact.
THIS IS THE REASON WHY "ALL POLICE PERSONAL" DON'T WANT ANY WITNESSES, CAMERAS, OR ANY ONE NEAR, OR AROUND ANY APPREHENSION OR SITUATIONS LIKE THIS ONE, WHEN THE POLICE IS MAKING, OR DOING THEIR THE CRIMINAL ACTS !.
Listen to this Doctors testimony please. He dumbs it down for you to understand Fentanyl played no factor. His respiratory rate was Normal! If fentanyl killed him, his respiratory rate would’ve been much lower.
