Please help me out here. You know more about this incident than I do. (I’m serious when I say that.) Let’s say that Officer Chauvin took his knee off of Floyd‘s neck the instant Floyd stopped talking.
Based on what you know, do you think Floyd would have survived?

Nope.
George was suffering from excited delirium syndrome (ExDS) as a result of an overdose of BOTH meth and fentanyl. ExDS is very often fatal all by itself, let alone with a serious heart condition and COVID like George had.
Chauvin was exerting 90 lbs in the double-knee position, for 45 lbs exerted spread across the back and the neck (implying balanced force). 45 lbs is definitively insufficient to restrict breathing or blood-flow in the neck.
The lack of petechia (red dots in the eyes that happen with asphyxiation) support that death was not from asphyxiation.
In short, the entire thing is B.S.
