Actually it is and explains why they subdued him using an approved tactic to subdue someone- especially someone as large as he was- He dwarfed the police that took him out of the car-

You can make other arguments but the one that his violent criminal past is irrelevant isn’t one of them- It explains why he was subdued- one of the explanations anyways- the other was that he was obviously high on drugs, which is why police had called the ambulance and were detaining him in a subdued manner, till the ambulance got there-

What part of he was unconscious (dead?) for minutes while the police assault continued do you not understand?

So Floyd resisted it gave the cops a right to assault him while handcuffed and unconscious? Utter Nonsense. Don’t defend the indefensible.

You sound like a Democrat justifying political motivated prosecutions of Trump supporters. All is fair game because they worked for Trump.

The ambulance was called when Floyd was already on the ground. It was a non-emergency Code 2 for bleeding from the mouth; obviously from the pavement grinding into his mouth. The call was soon upgraded to a Code 3 emergency. Despite this call for an EMS dispatch, Floyd is pinned down by his neck for 7 more minutes. In those minutes, he died from asphyxiation.

As Floyd pleads that he can't breathe Officer Chauvin asks him what does he want? Floyd answers, "I can't breathe, please relieve my neck!" Chauvin says, "Well, get up and get into the car, man!" As Chauvin tants him he applies more pressure to the neck as Floyd protests that he cannot breathe. This was shear torture in a demented way. Hannity, who saw the video, says the officer knew what he was doing. Such tactics on the neck are a fundamental part of martial arts. You remember that Chauvin was a bouncer at the same nightclub as Floyd--the Latin American club El Nuevo Rodeo. He knew such pressure trauma to the carotid artery can shut down the brain instantly. In the case of Floyd, his carotid artery fully collapsed and he died instantly. Hannity described how one blow to the carotid could cause one to collapse instantly to the ground. Chauvin knew his fighting skills and he was testing them on Floyd.
