He was acting very hysteric the second they start talking to him. The cops even told him they thought he was fine - and that's SECONDS before he's passed out.
If they had got off him then, they'd be NOT GUILTY in my mind. My question is: why did they stay on him? They may've felt a pulse still? You can hear someone in the background yelling to check his pulse - it looks to me like one of the cops has his hand around Floyd's wrist then.....
I think it was largely drugs that killed him. The drugs causing him to be hysteric, combined with his clear un-cooperation is why they acted the way they did - until that key moment when they decide to stay on him. Has the autopsy officially ruled cause of death?
Does anyone have the original video that started it all? I'm trying to find it but this is the only one that's coming up in Results!
In my experience every time someone has been physically restrained in a prone position they claim they can't breathe. 99.9% of the time it's absolute BS.
Ironically, there was a study released by a doctor from the University of Minnesota last year that proved that "restraint asphyxia" was a myth.

The problem with the link is that the study only looked at 'force on back' restraints -- 'not force on neck.'
Quote:The conclusion: none of four knee-on-back techniques commonly taught and used in law enforcement transfers any amount of weight even close to being dangerous, regardless of how heavy the officer applying the force is.
