As I said from the start, what the officer did, leaning his knee on his neck, was a last resort to hold him down, after failed efforts to get him in the back seat due to vigorous resistance. They didn't have the option of just letting him go. This was all Floyd's doing. He's responsible for his own death.
I agree he was responsible for the circumstances that lead to his death. Officer Chauvin didn't have to be so accommodating getting him there. I guess this is what you do when your give a dam is busted. It's my understanding that Chauvin was in the process of going to prison, negotiating for terms when the video was leaked. Proving that the staff and leadership in Minneapolis were doing something about it. Too little too late.
