It doesn't matter what happened before.
This wasn't a split second thing.
None of the ex-cops clothes are disheveled, nor their hair.
Several of the ex-cops had their backs turned to the guy as their partner killed him.
If the victim was a thread, the lookout ex-ccps would still have been helping subdue him, or at least facing the threat.
Once he's on the ground, and cuffed and unarmed, deadly force is out of the question.
Deliberate, cool, self-masturbatory, enjoying it, murder, from every video I've been able to see. And who in HELL puts their hands in their pockets while asphyxiating an unarmed victim?
No, you don’t know any of this stuff. You don’t know what dude died of. You don’t know how much weight the officer was putting on him. You don’t know dude was “asphyxiated” because you do not know what he even died of. You don’t know the officer’s side of things. You don’t even know what went on before the knee went on the neck.

They were facing the crowd that was gathering around. The crowd assisted in the death by helping distract cops that might have noticed him struggling.
Also, the moron would still be alive if he woulda just got in the car and not struggled for 10 minutes. It’s almost impossible to get someone into a car who bows up and refuses.
