I've been dreading the re-traumatization of all of us when this goes to trial. It will be like what happened with M Brown or T Martin - the facts will not support criminal charges because there was no violation of law in those deaths. The officers in the G Floyd case did what he asked and complied with their training. He died from his injection of lethal doses of drugs into himself.
"As will be explained in detail below, throughout Floyd’s confrontation with the police, he was at imminent risk of death from sudden cardiac arrhythmia caused by excited delirium. So it was that these officers followed the MPD’s official procedures for how to properly and safely subdue someone in that life-threatening condition. In doing so, they were not only keeping Floyd in the prescribed “recovery position” to alleviate his risk of asphyxiation, they were also keeping an agitated and delirious Floyd from harming himself as they awaited the arrival of the ambulance that they had twice summoned to provide medical aid to him."https://spectator.org/george-floyd-police-training-minneapolis/
