Derek Chauvin-George Floyd Knee on Neck Debacle Det John J Baeza (Ret )

Chauvin's knee on Floyd's neck, while a horrible optic, did not cause Floyd's death. It is my hypothesis that the knee on the one side of the neck compression is not lethal. It is my belief, based on my research, that no one has ever attempted a reconstruction of the knee on one side of the neck compression. I have reconstructed the knee on neck hold for 10 minutes numerous times, including 4 videos, which are available as links in the book. During all of my reconstructions I was cogent and clear headed with no ill effects. I have done extensive research and have seen no literature describing a knee on the neck hold as fatal.
