In this YouTube monologue, Dennis Prager argues that the knee placed on George Floyd’s neck was unlikely to have caused his death, describing it as a standard Minneapolis police procedure. He asserts that Floyd had three times the lethal amount of fentanyl in his system, suggesting the drug, not the restraint, was the primary cause of death. Prager also questions whether the encounter was racially motivated, noting that the police appeared decent in the video and that Floyd was already hysterical before contact. The commentary frames the protests and riots that followed Floyd’s death as based on a likely false premise.

I mean, the more we know, including George Floyd, the chances are minuscule that the knee on the side of the neck caused him to die. So the two premises of the one, of the issue that caused the protests and riots to begin with, is a lie, or overwhelmingly likely to be a lie. He was not killed by the knee to the neck. The knee to the neck is a usual procedure in the Minneapolis Police Department, and we have still not established that he did it because the guy was Black. If you see the entire video, he's sort of hysterical from the beginning of his encounter with the police, who were completely decent with him. He says he can't breathe, he can't breathe before they touch him because he had 3 times the amount of fentanyl in his body that— that one, one-third of what he had is fatal. He had 3 times the fatal amount in his body.
