The defense's argument George Floyd died from a drug OD is pure smoke screen, civil rights attorney Ben Crump says.

Ben joined"TMZ Live" on Monday and sounded not so surprised Derek Chauvin's defense zeroed in on Floyd allegedly being under the influence at the time he was killed ... rather than the ex-cop pressing his knee on Floyd's neck for more than 9 minutes.

Ben's adamant, whenever a white police officer kills a Black man in America the default strategy's to try every trick ... including assassinating Floyd's character.You'll recall during King's federal civil rights case in 1993 ... the defense for the LAPD cops standing trial described King as a"PCP-crazed giant" who practically invited the beatdown.

And then, there's this ... Ben says this trial has an advantage over the King case, which is a diverse jury. What's more, he says Chauvin's case is NOT that complicated ... to him, it's all about the

No excuses for the knee for so long, so he has no argument. I can say that I saw a previous arrest on Floyd eating drugs. Also I have seen with my own eyes people at the bar drop like flies because Fentanyl, literally 5 people on the ground and some getting cpr or dying!

He had about 9 minutes worth of time to take a knee off of his neck and he didn't . That's all anyone needs to know.

That is just for distraction to keep people from seeing the real pandemic that no one speaks of! Only 6% of those died of only covid and not diabetes, heart attacks etc. So about 10 people who died of a 'virus only,' shut down San Francisco!!!!

didn't he loose the trayvin martin trial?

Facts are now smoke screen🤔

Sorry but that’s what happened. The guy Was a criminal and the family should give every dime of the 27 million back to the city he helped destroy!

MGA KAPATID KO KAY BRAD PITT ANO NGANGA HUH WALA G GINAGAWA SABI NI MOM SANA AKO NA LANG DAW ANAK NYA ! NA SINILANG TALAGA SA TUMMY NYA ! BLEH THE RICHER IS MINE !

Bullshit!!

How...

Crump is a civil attorney. He already got his 40 to 50% plus expenses from the extravagant $27M settlement. Why he’s flapping his mouth outside in a parking lot with Al Sharpton is beyond me. Let the criminal attorney for GF do his job and get a guilty verdict.

King was high on PCP and anyone who saw the whole tape, knew the officers acted properly

Time will tell. If it creates enough doubt…

Say the man who chases ambulances for black ppl

Floyd wasnt even choked he was able to turn his head a few times and talk, if he was really getting choked he would have lasted 1 minute not 8 minutes

I wouldn't be surprised if that racist kkkop put drugs in George's system.

Could be. He still gets one. The jury will decide soon enough. Maybe as a lawyer Ben should let the trial unfold and zip it till its done. Then weigh in.

It doesn't matter.

THE WHOLE WORLD 🌎 IS WATCHING! 👀 👀 👀 🙏

How civil rights attorney Ben Crump forged his own path“I keep hoping and believing, if we can make them pay multimillions of dollars every time they shoot a Black person in the back, that there will be less Black people shot,” Crump said. “That’s my theory...it remains unanswered because they keep killing us” Again, only black people are allowed to kill other black people. Dont be dumb!! The taxpayers are paying those judgements not the cops, their dept or thier unions so why do they care about a civil judgement. And he keeps cashing the checks. What has he done to help the situation?
