In one of the videos, he can be seen looking down at Floyd, who is obviously unconscious, and STILL keeps his knee down on his neck.

I don’t understand the knee on the neck. Is that a normal police move? I could maybe see it if the perp is just OUTTA CONTROL, jacked up on drugs, but in the videos we’ve seen, this does not appear to be the case.

I don't care if the guy were a terrorist that had just killed people. Once you have him in handcuffs, on the ground with his arms behind his back, he is no longer resisting... you stop all aggressive physical behavior.

Worse, there is absolutely no police procedure for placing your full body weight on a subdued suspect that is already flat on the ground and cannot raise himself to properly breathe... let alone do it for 6 minutes. This is murder.

I know... to some, the dead guy is some dude they don't know or care about. But what if that were their son being choked to death in that fashion. I bet all the 'must have had a reason' folks would change their tune.
