“...charged with depriving Floyd of his right to medical care.”

I wasn’t aware of this right. Is it a new one or has it been around for a while? Did St. Floyd acquire this right as soon as police attempted to arrest him? Was the right his while he actively resisted arrest?

There was an ambulance and a trained paramedic team on scene, and they wouldn’t let them have Floyd? Honestly...

It has been the law for decades, if not centuries, that a prisoner in custody has a right to food, water and necessary medical care from those holding him.
