Have you watched all the body cam videos? There is one that is like an hour and some odd minutes long and shows multiple different body cams from different angles. They show the first angle to dramatize it. The second angle you can see they do check Floyd's pulse and stuff at the demand of the public onlookers. Yet, at that point would have been a fantastic time to let off the neck roll Floyd over and lean his head back and open the airway up more. In my opinion Floyd was likely going to die from the drugs but the perception of force could have been mitigated.

I have watched pretty much all of the footage, and I agree that he should have taken his knee off several minutes earlier.

I also saw Floyd having trouble breathing when nobody was touching him earlier.

And the coroner's reports indicate that Chauvin's actions were not the immediate or proximate cause of death.

I think Chauvin should walk away a free man based on the evidence I've seen. I've no confidence that will happen, but absent new evidence, that's how I'd vote.

A free man on the charges for sure. A workplace reprimand , DEFINITELY at the very least.

Oh, I don't think Mr. Chauvin is going to ever be employable again. He's going to have to move to another country.

Would you want to be his partner knowing how big of a target is now painted on his back?

nah, it all dies down after a while people are just emotional. He will likely move to a different state and take a job in a small home town setting where people are more level headed. Seen it happen before. He is still hire-able.
