Language advisory as to the above video. The black cop has the patience of a saint. I wonder what percentage of the “protestors” consist of the drugged and the deranged? It’s amazing to me that anyone would want to be a street cop these days and putting up with this type of loosed insanity on a regular basis.
This is a confrontation we expect to see in movies about a society gone mad. Now it is here in all its shameful vividness. The devil is live and well in America. Are we up to the challenge to fight back?
When I was growing up, mouthing off to cop got you a well-earned ass whipping.

That’s probably the only time I’ll agree with Chris Rock on anything.
They are destroying the system of government that gives them the right to have a protest in the first place. In some countries speaking out against the government would cause you you be “disappeared”
I think if we transported Pope Francis into this protest even he’d want to punch that white punk in the face.
I’d really like to meet the parents who did such a crappy job raising this piece of trash.
OT: I’ve found a literature review discussing post-mortem blood levels of various opiates and their derivatives in cases of fatal overdose. Unless I’m misreading the review, they report that in 207 cases where fentanyl was discovered in samples of femoral blood, the mean blood level was 11 nanograms per millileter. The Hennepin County coroner has issued its report, which includes the observation that George Floyd’s femoral blood had a fentanyl level of…11 ng / mL. It also reports he had ‘severe’ coronary artery disease.
We live in a stupid age.

You’re not misreading. It would depend on what else was in his system for if it was fatality causing, though, and I don’t know how it reacts to meth. Usually it kills you by interacting with other depressants, most commonly alcohol.

Pharmacology
Fentanyl is a narcotic analgesic acting predominately at the µ-opiate receptor. Apart from analgesia, the fentanyls as a group produce drowsiness and euphoria, the latter being less pronounced than with heroin and morphine. The most common side effects include nausea, dizziness, vomiting, fatigue, headache, constipation, anaemia and peripheral oedema. Tolerance and dependence develop rapidly after repeated use. Characteristic withdrawal symptoms (sweating, anxiety, diarrhoea, bone pain, abdominal cramps, shivers or ‘goose flesh’) occur when use is stopped. Serious interactions can occur when fentanyls are mixed with heroin, cocaine, alcohol and other CNS depressants e.g. benzodiazepines. The use of HIV protease inhibitors such as Ritonavir has been reported to increase plasma levels and reduce elimination of co-administered fentanyl.
Overdose results in respiratory depression which is reversible with naloxone. Sudden death can also occur because of cardiac arrest or severe anaphylactic reaction. The estimated lethal dose of fentanyl in humans is 2 mg. The recommended serum concentration for analgesia is 1–2 ng/ml and for anaesthesia it is 10–20 ng/ml. Blood concentrations of approximately 7 ng/ml or greater have been associated with fatalities where poly-substance use was involved. While fatalities have been reported after therapeutic use, many deaths have occurred as a result of the misuse of pharmaceutical products. Both used and unused fentanyl patches have been injected, smoked, snorted or taken orally with fatal consequences.
(Why folks take a write up like this more seriously than a pile of bodies as evidence, I do not know, I just know what I see.)
Where was this video taken?
DC Art.
The fellow in your freeze frame is a dead ringer for a collateral relation of mine, down to the voice and the idiom. I’m quite sure he has tats too, though the fellow in the video seems to have larger and more elaborate designs than I remember on my kin. Since my cousin is gainfully employed, has a staff to supervise, and living in the Canton-Akron corridor in Ohio, I’ve no clue what he’d be doing shirtless in DC. (My cousin is a mix of capable and crazy and the women in his family are patient with him when he’s on some tear). I’m checking his Fakebook (he’s not immune to asinine political posts) and I don’t see anything recent but a couple of snapshots, so I’m hoping it is not him.
It is a small world Art!
