I have been holding my tongue on the Floyd incident, but if you have ever taken a first aid class, they tell you if the person choking is able to speak, do not perform the heimlich, because air is passing across their vocal cords, same goes for restraining an individual, if they pass out and go limp the individual is no longer a threat and then you cuff-n-stuff.
My opinion on whether the police are at fault for his death is not decided until all of the evedence is presented. But I believe that they should not be charged with murder, involuntary manslaughter would benefit both the prosecution and defence to provide full disclosure (body cams, full spectator video, non edited video etc.) In other words, the full story, not narrative.
