My neighbor is a local sheriff where I live. He use to be a detective but now runs the jail. He was telling me today that he read Floyd's autopsy report. It says very little, to no sign of asphyxiation. Drugs and alcohol in his system, history of heart/health issues. Just had a physical tussle with the police, then dies, but unlikely due to asphyxiation. Neighbor says based on the autopsy report he thinks they'll have a very difficult time convicting on murder charges if the cop gets a fair trial. So Pedes, stock up on guns and ammo. Rodney King like riots on steroids potentially coming on acquittal.
I don't see them even trying for the third degree murder conviction. I think they probably put that charge in to try to get him to plead guilty to the manslaughter charge, dropping the murder charge in exchange for the guilty plea.
"Look, Mr. Cop, we have to throw you in jail. You fight this, you'll win, and you'll walk free out those doors. But we can't protect you and your family from the mobs. And lots of innocent people will die.
"So sign the damn confession and plea bargain. You serve time in prison, your family is safe, people don't die."

That's what's going to happen.
Yep, the most likely outcome.
Thinking face recognition tech will give us mass arrests. Plus new emergency powers utilised. The autopsy report is designed in a way to buy time
