Floyd is responsible for his own death in multiple ways. Firstly, consuming a lethal overdose of Fentanyl so as to deny the evidence of drug possession to the police. Secondly, by resisting arrest, leaving police no alternative but to restrain him. He was offered a seat in the back of the patrol car, but refused it, and fought to prevent being placed there. He resisted the entire time they were attempting to arrest him for multiple crimes. He died from the overdose, combined with the struggle with police, both of which actions were his own doing.
