So if I drive by someone on the street in a red station wagon and he drops dead, am I the cause of it? You could just as easily say: “Well, he was alive until that red station wagon drove by. Then he died. That is a fact, and it is not in dispute.”

The defense will dispute that the knee on the neck caused Floyd’s death. We’ll all find out in a year or so.
I have no opinion on the officer’s guilt or innocence.
