“...Chauvin and Thao arrived in separate squad cars at this point and all four officers began trying to push Floyd into the car as he, ‘repeatedly said that he could not breathe.’...”

Floyd’s heart attack may well have started while he was standing there.

Whenever I have to RON at a city now I just stay at the hotel and not go anywhere.

“The coroner attributed the cause of death to cardiac arrest.”

“May well have”

Well that sounds like solid medical evidence.
