However, he did not pay any due attention to ensure non-harm to Floyd.

It was negligent homicide, imo., Jonty, the autopsy was provided for you to read it. Try it again, actually read it and use a little reason this time. I don't think that the officer was there to ensure that George did not take the THC, meth or Fentanyl.

I said it was negligent homicide. I am familiar that Floyd was hopped up on enough fentanyl to kill him.

It was still Chauvin’s duty to ensure that his actions did not contribute to the death. Chauvin did not do that.

That’s what the the charge of negligent homicide means, a failure to do one’s diligent duty to ensure your actions, as harmless as it may be on its own, does not contribute to the death of another.

Chauvin failed to use discernment in the situation. That doesn’t mean I think he should spend 20 years in prison, however.
