Look. ALL the cops fucked up there. Big time. Sure, its not outright murder--but UNLESS the drugs killed him the cops did. In some ways you've got to be EXTRA careful if y think someone's got drugs in their system--its not an opportunity to beat down HARDER.
The coroner's report showed no damage to Floyd's neck or airway and showed a dose of fentanyl that was between 4 and 6 times the lethal dose alongside a major heart condition. He didn't get beat down "harder" or really at all.
I'd encourage you to watch the full arrest video if you haven't. Floyd eats a baggie of fentanyl right when the cop confronts him and he starts saying "I can't breathe" as soon as they move to put him in the cop car. Floyd OD'd 30 minutes after arriving at the hospital plain and simple.
