This’ll be George Zimmerman redux. Those cops did nothing wrong and there is no incriminating evidence other than a video showing them following official procedure - and it did not add to or complicate his death by overdose.
At least that is how I see it now that more facts have come out.
And George Zimmerman wasn’t actually white so he had to be made a phony “sort of a white” to be villified properly. They hated and rioted over the white portion of his Peruvian Latino/White heritage.

Zimmerman, Whiteness and Latinos ——
Post-Zimmerman trial is the time to evaluate Latinos’ view of “whiteness.”

Excerpt....
“We must also acknowledge the small ways in which as a community we devalue blackness even while some among us see our own children in pictures of Martin, when we refer to our hair as “pelo malo,” for example, or joke about “bettering the family” when we procreate with someone whiter. We must acknowledge the ways we overvalue whiteness when, for example, we declare a grandchild our favorite because of his blue eyes.....”
The basic law regarding legal and illegal killings is a defendant’s actions have to meet a “but for” test. IOW, “would the decedent have lived but for the defendant’s actions?” In this case the prosecution must prove the officers’ actions at least contributed to Floyd’s death by pushing a fragile man over the edge. Right now, for the reasons you’ve stated, it’s looking like the prosecution won’t be able to meet this burden of proof. If it can’t, then the whole case, including any manslaughter charges, will fail.
