I don’t agree with the 27m payout, or the glorification of Floyd, but they literally have video of this moron with a knee on the mans neck for nine minutes. If that part alone happened to a member of your family, you wouldn’t be pissed at all, right?

That's an interesting question. I do not know the answer if it happened to a family member of mine. The honest answer is, I don't like certain members of my family so I seriously doubt I would care. I generally do not like trouble making people at all and have no patience for them.

The thing that looks most interesting to me just from the view of the side walk camera the bystander took, Floyd was able to move his head and chest up and breath when he wanted too. Chauvin never appears to put so much weight on him to smother him. 4 minutes, 6 minutes 9 minutes? The minutes are irrelevant, in part b/c Chauvin told the other officer essentially they were keeping him there until the ambulance showed up. So rather Chauvin feared that Floyd had a better chance of dying if he got up and started moving around again like he did in the back of the car minutes prior, or Chauvin feared if he got up he could start kicking at the officers (and Floyd appears to have some long strong legs) , I don't see anything more logical he could have done? It's safe to assume if Floyd was allowed back on his feet, they were gonna have to struggle with him again. If he was moving his chest and head up 3 minutes prior to not moving at all, Chauvin could not have possibly knew in those few minutes he was going to die.
