The available evidence in the George Floyd case exonerates the four Minneapolis police officers who were charged with second- and third-degree murder, a former federal and state prosecutor said in a Minneapolis radio interview Sunday.
"The murder theory makes no sense at all. These police officers -- let me say this very clearly -- these police officers did absolutely nothing wrong in their handling of this situation," said George Parry in an interview on WCCO radio's "Real Talk with Roshini" Rajkumar.

OK, no problem, they were just doing their job, no harm, no foul. Uh, just forget about the billions in riot damage, by that I mean, just pay for it.
Pretty sure blm will pony up the money to repay folks. Or maybe not.
They will never get a fair trail...there attorney should request the DOJ do an investigation
Everything the media said about it was a blatant lie. There was no racism, no choking, and the cops called an ambulance as soon as they saw he was overdosing.
George Floyd did not die of asphyxiation. Knee on neck not cause of death: case closed (riots commence)
Agree with those posting above.
IMHO, the most difficult thing will be to break the “public perception” of Chauvin keeping his knee heavily on Floyd’s neck for 8 or 9 minutes. To my jaundiced eyes, it looked like he let up intermittently with his knee; and even when his knee was pressing down, it didn’t look like he was applying anywhere near his full weight.
According to the body cam footage, Floyd was babbling loudly the whole time the knee was on his neck. You can’t do that if you’re choking, obviously. How do you say “I can’t breathe” if you can’t breathe anyway? Likely he felt a loss of oxygen to his system because he was overdosing.
Very good point, Well-reasoned and logical. Maybe if I relay it to people I encounter the same way that you’ve relayed it to me, it will begin to chip away at that cast-in-stone mindset that so many of them have.
Also, he began saying he couldn’t breath early in the confrontation. Long before he went to the ground.

Thou shalt not speak ill of Saint George of Fentanyl.
Yes, he was saying “I can’t breathe” while freely moving around, before being restrained for resisting arrest.
Kneeling on a man with no pulse instead of doing CPR is wrong.
Kneeling on a man without assessing pulse, breathing, and responsiveness is wrong.
And it might have been wrong to kneel on a man who said he wanted to lie down on the street. If the man was not attempting to flee, harm himself, or attack the officers, it was wrong. They were waiting for the ambulance at that point, no longer trying to take him to the police station.
Babbling the whole time, except for those last two or three minutes when he was unresponsive and not breathing.
2020 George Floyd arrest - GF had 2 friends in the car with him when they were approached by police. The 2 friends obeyed police instructions. GF was intoxicated with fentanyl and the rest was history.
So what’s your idea? Imprison them for the 2 billion crimes of the black and communist rioters?
Yeah, when you die you become unresponsive. There was no indication that he died from restricted breathing, however.
No, my idea would have been shut the riots down day one and avoid the property damage.
I contend the knee was on his back-—high up, NEAR his neck—BUT NOT on the neck.
