Floyd was dying before he went to the ground.
Exactly. The cops had him seated in their car when Floyd said, "I can't breathe. I need to lie down." So the cops lowered him to the ground and placed face-down so he wouldn't choke on his own vomit. Yes, it looked bad having the cop's knee on him, but the autopsy revealed that no harm whatsoever was caused by the maneuver, not even a scrape or bruise. The EMTs cracked one rib while administering CPR -- aomething that happens often.
