That further confirms that his behavior was resistive, not assaultive.
I think you mean THIS video doesn’t show assaultive behavior on the part of Floyd.
And what does that matter?
Isn't a person's threat to an officer something courts consider when determining the legality of the officer's use of force?
Of course it is.
As are about a bajillion other GRAHAM factors.
None of which you or I know.
Which is why I still believe this case is anything but a legal slam dunk. Severity of the crime, cuffed (and patted down) subject's threat to the four officers, cuffed subject's flight flight risk, how Chauvin was trained in the technique he was using and if he knew of any associated risks, etc. will come into play.
I wonder how the courts will look at Chauvin's indifference to the fact that his partner reported Floyd had no pulse.
Chauvin reportedly was looking for a plea deal that didn't materialize.
