Allow me to add to it:

Expert witness: Floyd would have survived had he not been subjected in the prone position.

Defense: So in other words... had Floyd gotten in the squad car he'd be alive.

Same with the other kid who got shot instead of tazed. He would be in jail, alive, had he not attempted to flee in his vehicle.

The story is he got killed because he had an air freshener hanging from his rear view mirror. That is the story they ran with. Kid murdered for an air freshener! And in Brooklyn Center on the fencing around the police station people have hung tons of tree air fresheners. But that is such a false narrative. He got pulled over for expired tabs. They found out about his other warrant and when they tried to arrest him, he shimmied out of there, got back in his car and disobeyed officers in an attempt to flee. Just stupid. Had he listened and done as he was told, it never would have been an issue. Also, the woman that shot him was training a black officer and he is the one that pulled Wright over. So the black cop originally pulled over the kid because he had expired license tabs.
