[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it telling that another officer asks multiple times about moving Floyd to his side and every time Chauvin says no or brushes him off.[/quote]

The accused cop’s reported response to his colleague’s suggestion to reposition in case of/to guard against “excited delirium” can be read to suggest that the accused believed that the position Floyd was in was the appropriate one. That, coupled with the assertion in the criminal complaint that officers are trained that certain restraint positions pose safety risks is going to make training and related records a big issue. If the officer in fact was trained to use the position in question as a precaution against a potentially fatal syndrome a “malignant heart” would seem hard to prove beyond a reasonable doubt.

Another big question is going to be why the police kept Floyd on the ground for so long. What were they waiting for?  A wagon?  Floyd allegedly resisted handcuffing and later resisted being put in the police car, claiming he was claustrophobic. Part of this resistance reportedly was that he deliberately fell and lay on the ground. Photos appear to show him at least partially quartered off the ground in a position that should have allowed at least some chest expansion.

As bad as it looks, the knee itself appears at this point not to have been a contributing factor. Not monitoring Floyd more closely, particularly when he had become nonresponsive seems a much bigger issue. [/quote]

Stop with your conjecture.. do videos show him resisting handcuffing? Deliberately falling to the ground. The foolish ones read your nonsense and take it as fact. Just stop.[/quote]

Everything about Floyd’s resistance is directly [b]from the criminal complaint[/b].[/quote]

Written by whom?

The prosecutor’s office!  You know, the ones trying to put the cop in jail for decades. [/quote]
