The funny thing is Floyd's "girlfriend" (nickname: momma) testified that Floyd worked out every day, went to the gym, lifted weights, etc. This supports the idea that Floyd was strong and police struggled bringing him into compliance when he resisted arrest. It would also support the idea that pinning him to the ground, including with a knee on the neck, was not lethal force and that Chauvin would not have had an intent to kill (reckless or otherwise) when he pinned a strong man like Floyd to the ground.

Floyd was begging the cops to put him on the ground in the body cam footage.
