Bingo. We all know Floyd was a scumbag on his way to a self-made early grave. But justifying the force used against him is the crux of this case.

If he didn't have an enlarged heart, wasn't high on drugs, wasn't fighting the cops tooth and nail....restraining was just a piece.

Putting it another way...if Floyd didn't have those conditions, he MORE THAN LIKELY wouldn't have died because of the restraint.
