t is highly unlikely that the officers INTENDED to kill Floyd in the act of subduing him. Intent plays crucially into any criminal charge.

I don’t think the district attorneys’s comment was about the intent of the officers. I could be wrong, but my antennas went off when I saw that the autopsy was inconclusive and the medical examiner had ordered further testing. Obviously, to prove someone guilty of murder or manslaughter, you must prove that that individual caused the death of the victim. My gut says that the initial autopsy did not show that the officers caused his death. The statement made by the prosecutor was not made lightly. He clearly was trying to lower expectations for an indictment. Or perhaps the other evidence pertains to the 3 officers who did not knee the victim. We shall see.
There is a video of Floyd acting like something was wrong with him when the cops first got him to the side walk. He seemed to collapse against the wall. Then when they pick him up and start to the police he has a grimace on his face. There is another video shot from a distance where they are walking him to the cop car and his legs buckle under him and the cops end up carrying him over to the cop car. I’m not putting blame on anyone yet because I don’t have all the info, just pointing out it looks like something was wrong with before the cop knee.
is toxicology done yet? Doesn’t that generally take several weeks?
Get a jury to buy that one, Mr. Gestapo.

I was involved in an OSHA investigation where a guy was obviously electrocuted while working on an energized electrical panel. It was as obvious as it could be. Except the guy died of a natural heart attack. I’m suspecting something similar here.
Hey, I saw it all on TV and you know they never lie......LET’S GO BURN OUR OWN HOUSE DOWN.....WTF....wait until you get the whole story.
