At most you might get the cop on holding someone in a state of poor health down, as even if someone just has bad hypertension you can send them to the hospital that way. That said, Floyd freaked out the whole time from the moment they met him in the driver’s seat of his own car where he started screaming he couldn’t breath and asked to be put on the ground. They were really nice to him and he freaked the fuck out the whole time, partially because of all the drugs he consumed to hide some of the evidence, and I don’t blame the cop for not knowing what the fuck was going on with that tweaker.

Maybe get the department to ban floor holds with people that seem off in their health. Other than that, he did what he was trained to do and it clearly had no racial motivation. Manslaughter would be the most I’d give it and even then after seeing the evidence in context it’s a stretch. He wasn’t trying to kill Floyd, it wasn’t racial, and it’s unclear whether or not Floyd being held down while fully able to breath had any impact on his demise. If he was obese with hypertension it could have, but despite being a tweaker he was in good shape.

I feel more sorry for the cops than Floyd. And the people of the city they burned down because Facebook and CNN told them to.
