According to the charging documents quoted by the NYTimes.
“At 8:19, Mr. Chauvin pulled Mr. Floyd out of the passenger side of the squad car. Mr. Floyd hit the ground, face down, handcuffs still on. Mr. Kueng held Mr. Floyd’s back while Officer Thomas Lane held his legs.”
At 8:24 p.m., Mr. Floyd stopped moving.

Mr. Kueng checked Mr. Floyd’s right wrist for a pulse. “I couldn’t find one,” he said.
Still, none of the officers moved.
...”The medical examiner’s office listed the time of death as 9:25 p.m.”
“THAT is what I believe, also. The failure of the police to acknowledge the medical stress is the real fault in this.”
Given the coroner’s report, I have to agree. It wasn’t premediated and he didn’t suffocate him.
The part I don’t understand is in the first video near the end, all four policeman are huddled against the side of the car. It was like they were using the car as a shield against something. What?
The narrative is falling apart because the autopsy is not backing up death by asphyxiation. Even the local prosecutors said there is no evidence to back up that claim. Not the defense - the prosecution.
The drive bys will try to spike that bit of info as much as possible but if it’s true, it needs constant repetition. And beating a narrative to death is something they excel at doing.
They couldn’t have identified his medical stress symptoms thru th drunken/drug stupor he was in. People drunk and drugged often show symptoms of illness very similar.
For sure, if they pulled a cuffed man from the cruiser, then did what we saw on the viral video then it is mruder 1.
Oh and the lack of pulse check after the man was unresponsive, is probably the most damning of all. Even an off duty first responder was begging for a pulse check.
I think the only debate is what level of murder we are looking at, but rest assured, murder it was. By agents of the state, which should concern us all.
“The part I don’t understand is in the first video near the end, all four policeman are huddled against the side of the car. It was like they were using the car as a shield against something. What?“
I believe they were trying to block the view of citizen cameras from the sidewalk. Even Tao moves to obstruct the view.
I love cops and have several cops/sheriffs/troopers among my friends...this sort of crap sickens them.
The weirdest thing is the ambulance guys in bulet proof vests pulled up, threw him on a gurney, no CPR, and away they went lickity split.
Read the complaint/charges. Pay attention to page 2 and think about the new video that’s been released. He was in the damn squad car. He was put in the car from the driver’s side and then slid across the seat to be pulled out on the passenger side?
Yea I thought the ambulance people were odd as all get out.
Yea I would love to see which side he was put in from. Common sense says they would have put him in from the sidewalk side. Especially considering they walked him across the street prior to this.
POTUS first comment on this was justice would be served for Floyd. I believe Trump had all the footage and probably seen exactly what you describe. And if this is the case, we are looking at murder plain and simple.
Glad I’m not the only one who feels the same. Occam’s razer and all.
As I have said before, this really only matters in which murder level we are looking at, but murder it was

Perp high on dust.
Police were taking Floyd out of HIS vehicle.

Simple enough to sort out. If he was beaten the coroner will see evidence of it.
Clearly a struggle going on. Possibly trying to strap him in and he’s not cooperating. Always sure to get cops angry, especially if they are hot heads to begin with.
You forgot Pandemic.
