They tried to be nice because the last time a cop used sufficient force to subdue a suspect who was also on massive amounts of fentanyl and meth we had a nation-wide chimp out.
Yeah, floyd was going to die that day no matter what, he just happened to die in police custody. Hell, even if the cop didn't put his knee on his neck, he would have still died and these riots would have still happened simply because he was in police custody when he died. I bet his family is fucking loving this too, they are millionaires now...
Wasn't the kneeling on the neck incredibly dangerous? While the case here with officer Rolfe should be thrown out since he did nothing wrong, the case with Chauvin seems extremely different and as far as I can tell possibly intentional murder (especially since Chauvin knew Floyd). George Floyd did still resist arrest, I recall him struggling his way out of a police car in one of the video segments, he was not a small man, and he had a long criminal record including robbery and home invasion. But kneeling on someone's neck for an extended time... and they likely knew each other...

There was no evidence of strangulation or damage to the tissue around the neck, which leads me to believe he put little to no pressure on the knee that was on his neck. The cop should get at most involuntary manslaughter, in my opinion.
