I watched the body cams that were released. Even the officer on the side of the car backing him up leaned in and said "I think he is passing out". I will paint a thin blue line on anything , but not this. This is why good cops get killed. He had Floyde down and subdued and in a position that Floyde could not have gotten back up he could have removed the knee long before he did. I can see why a woman would want to cry over this. It was not an easy thing to watch.
According to the autopsy, there was no neck trauma. He was not exerting much force. At one point in the video, Floyd is able to sit up slightly. In the video, before he's even apprehended he's saying he can't breathe - because of the Fentanyl overdose.
