Okay, here's my guess, and I think it's pretty solid.
It's pretty well known by now that Chauvin and Floyd worked in the same club.

The former owner, Maya Santamaria, said that Chauvin worked there over 17 years and Floyd for at least one, mostly during their "Urban Nights" where they had black promoters and talent. Chauvin knew probably everything that was going on and there was probably quite a bit of drugs trading hands in the club (and who knows what else). There were several shootings outside the club and the club's license was continually close to being cancelled. (Chauvin probably being the one saving it from being cancelled.)
Floyd had a violent, criminal history, mostly in drugs:

This would usually bar him from being security at a club, UNLESS, he was there to hustle drugs. He was "a rapper" in DJ Screw's crew of Houston rappers (DJ Screw died of lean and other drugs) and had set up his own little squad in Minneapolis.
This is where several things in the video get weird. THe 911 caller says that Floyd appeared drunk. In his released autopsy, https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6936162/Autopsy-2020-3700-Floyd.pdf he has no ethanol in his system, but he does have a good amount of THC and FENTANYL in his system, enough for an overdose.
Here's my theory. Floyd was working at another club as well, and Corona probably cleared him out as he was getting no pay anymore, and no drug money for at LEAST two months. The police (at least Chauvin, who was probably dirty) needed to get rid of him for some reason (he was going to snitch, he had told someone, etc.) and so they had one of his crew provide him with weed laced with fentanyl. The crew member then gives him a counterfeit $20 to buy something.
The fentanyl hits him on the way, and Floyd, probably confused because stimulants were his thing (he was arrested for coke and had meth in his system) gets arrested by the cops. Floyd then collapses and dies while the cops purposefully conduct the hit. If you watch the video, the ambulance that arrives is commandeered by POLICE and not EMTs, who would have probably hit him with naxolone and saved him.
Plus, Chauvin has a nice house in MN, but also one in TX and FL! Kind of rich for a normal police officer.
If acquitted the jurors would probably get killed. And if that did not begin the process of wiping this crap off the planet that would be the end of a lawful trial by jury society. Of course the result is clear already because only a fool would vote NG. Think of OJ in reverse guilty as sin free as a bird (for a short time anyway). I don’t condone police brutality so what we have here is a cop who had a history of going too far and the result is the guy died. The PD is as much at fault as he so he is not guilty of murder. IMO no justice no peace works in both direction. No justice for the coppers no peace for the rioters. Melt them down.
He was acting weird before the cops arrived. It was the fentanyl that killed him. The cops, with prior knowledge, helped it along.
Let's just say, if he wasn't flying high on dangerous drugs, he would most likely be alive. Even knowing he had Covid, he will be the first person with Covid that did not die from Covid.
Yes. Drug users will take anything from anyone when they need something quick.
The virus is known to leave damaged organs no matter how long the person has been declared recovered.
True. Watch the video. And he had his knee on him for a long time. (consider the source). https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/31/us/george-floyd-investigation.html
Depends on the drug. If you’re a coke head, you don’t go for heroin.
I say let them walk. Nothing a jury does will quiet the BLM, and I would want to mollify the police above all. It was an accident, and the police deserve presumption of innocence.
Your opinion makes more sense that cops wanted to kill a guy they clearly had no animus towards on video, while being recorded. Sum Tin Wong for sure about this case.
