The officer did kill him because of the mixture of drugs and health issues caused undue stress when combined with unnecessary violent restraint . The fact is if they officer behaved like 99 percent of officers do in the US the guy wouldn't have died.
"The officers told Floyd, "You are talking fine," the probable cause statement said, and when Lane asked if they should roll Floyd on his side, Chauvin said he was staying put.
"I am worried about excited delirium or whatever," Lane said, according to the statement.
"That's why we have him on his stomach," Chauvin replied.
Floyd stops moving -- a point the witnesses seize upon, telling officers over and over to check his pulse. Kueng checks Floyd's right wrist for a pulse and reports, "I couldn't find one," according to the probable cause statement. "
"Chauvin kept his knee on Floyd's neck for more than eight minutes, the statement said, and he continued kneeling on Floyd's neck for two minutes and 53 seconds after he became unresponsive.
Floyd was pronounced dead at a hospital, and the Hennepin County medical examiner wrote in a report that being restrained by police, underlying health conditions and "any potential intoxicants in his system likely contributed to his death."
The report also says, "Police are trained that this type of restraint with a subject in a prone position is inherently dangerous.""
People thinking Floyd died because he is suffocated are wrong. He died to the combination of factors number one being the improper technique. Furthermore this was pointed out by other officers and bystanders and nothing was done. Finally when he was unresponsive with no pulse the officer still kept on him.
