That video definitely puts a different perspective on the whole thing than what we’ve been fed previously. Floyd certainly played a part in his demise. I still wonder though what was the thinking in holding his down for so long. Once they had him hooked up even though he was still resisting they had plenty of backup to subdue him and force him into the car. Generally procedur would be at that point to put him on the ground, secure his legs at the ankles and if necessary secure his ankles to his cuffed arms so he is trussed up and can only verbally resist. 3 or 4 officers pick him up and slide him into the rear seat. All these unarmed people dying at the hands of police have two things in common. First they all committed some crime. Second they did not obey police commands and resisted. Another thing most are high on something. You would think even a stupid dumb ass thug would learn once the police have you , do what they tell you, don’t resist. Easy peasy you live to commit another crime another day. Of course when your brain is addled with drugs, thinking at least coherently probably isn’t a viable option available to you.
