What’s equally troubling is that one other person was filming the whole event; at least two other officers were helping Chauvin; and another officer was standing nearby. None intervened to simply place the man in the back of the police car.

Larry, you are better than this.

George resisted being put in the police car, rather strongly.

Reportedly, George was 6'6". He was very muscular.

Four officers attempted to subdue George and put him in the police car. They couldn't do it.

That is why three officers are on top of him.

Shortly after they gave up putting him in the car, he collapsed, and they checked his pulse.

They could not find one, so they called an ambulance.

Then George regained conciousness.

In the video, one officer, responding to the suggestion that George be put in the police car, said "We just tried to put him in the car for ten minutes."

Some outlets cut off the video before that exchange takes place.

Sometime during the struggle to put George in the police car, while standing, George said "I can't breathe".

Be a bit more critical in your thinking (you usually are) and step away from the electronic lynch mob.

Video can be misleading. You know that, probably better than most.

Neck restraints are sanctioned by the Minneapolis P.D. They can be seen on its web page.

He did look like a huge guy - capable of putting up quite a fight.

But where is the video of him resisting being put in the car for 10 minutes?
If there is no video, how do you know that is what happened?
