1. The police officer apparently used a method of restraint which was authorized by his department.

2. What Floyd did before his arrest very much so will explain why such a harsh form of restraint was used.

I do not know the outcome of this, but I suspect his department and the political powers to be would love to make it about the police officer, sacrificing him on the alter, vs. making this an issue about the police department, or policing et al. and how things have gone sideways over the last decades.

What part of handcuffed and unconscious do you not understand? You are seriously arguing a 3 minute beating of a citizen in that state by a government agent is justified? Have you lost your mind?

And this video is cut short. Floyd becomes more combative for a few minutes while they try to sit him up and get his seat belt on. He eventually manages to work his way out the opposite traffic side of the car.
