I can get beyond the optics dude, I checked the coroner's report and it's plausible he died of a fentanyl OD even tho not conclusive. But fent OD doesn't explain why he was wildin out. Opiates don't make you wild out and flap your arms. He didn't panic because of opiates. It's not marijuana or LSD, no anxiety potential, you don't have a paradoxical response to opiates. And it's not an 80s movie where you pop a pill and then jump off a roof cause you believe you're invincible. Or see cartoon elephants. The fentanyl thing is a nonsequitur. Whether the guy died of the knee on the neck or not literally doesn't matter.
Fact is, he had a knee on his neck long enough to kill him. So the cop did wrong. It's your bad luck if you drive your car thru a crowd in Charlottesville and a bowled-over whale gets a heart attack and dies; that makes you a terrorist. Get your knee off his neck if you don't want credit for the perhaps incidental death.
