"The officers actions were inappropriate and possibly a contributing factor as adding stress the Floyds overtaxed system."
Wrong. Restraining Floyd by putting him on the ground and keeping him there was the only way to try to help him after struggling unsuccessfully for ten minutes to calm him down. If you bothered to watch all the video you would know the cops called for EMT before Floyd went quiet, and raised the call level when he did go quiet. Did any of the bystanders call EMT?

I did watch the video. The guy was already contained and restrained and not resisting nor a threat at that point: There was no reason for Chauvin to be physically on him once he was already on the ground. Furthermore, there was no police effort to resuscitate him. Bystanders as well as other officers did try to deter Chauvin.
