If you read the Statement of Probable Cause - here - it says that kneeling on his neck contributed to Floyd’s death. In other words, Floyd may have keeled over with a coronary tomorrow, but four days ago he would not have died if the officer had not knelt on his neck for 8 or 9 minutes. Third degree murder charges are completely warranted.

Well, I guess YOU know exactly what was necessary to restrain him, and not the cops.
He was already cuffed at the wrists and ankles. No need to put full force on his neck. He wasn’t resisting at that point. He was in seriously bad shape at that point and probably was having a heart attack when he felt chest tightness.
