The first time I saw that video I kept waiting for one of the other cops to give Chauvin the tap on his shoulder, as if to say okay that's good we got him, you can get off him now. They never did. Then the longer it went on I was expecting one of them to go behind Chauvin and grab him by his shoulders to pull him off. That didn't happen either. I think there was grave concern on the part of at least one cop who was in front, but for whatever reason they didn't intervene. Perhaps it was because Chauvin was the supervising officer and they were brand new and didn't want to show him up. Either way it's a tragedy that they didn't have the courage to stuff Chauvin's rank & experience and get him off of Floyd's neck.
I think the autopsy report shows that nothing Chauvin did caused Floyd's death. I also saw an article that stated that hold is allowed in the Minneapolis PD. Stock up on ammo because all these cops are gonna walk.
There were now two autopsies done. One by the county medical examiner and one hired by the Floyd family.

According to this article they amount to saying the same thing in different wordd.

The cause of death was something like "Heart attack brought on by carotid artery pressure" (it was in more scientific terms).

A lot of Chauvin supporters honed in on the heart attack aspect as if having someone hold a knee on your neck as you lose consciousness couldn't possibly be a factor in causing a heart attack, SMH

I find the whole argument of natural causes ridiculous. To understand how ridiculous just substitute someone who is not a cop holding his knee on an old ladies neck for 8 minutes like Chauvin did and then ask how you would laugh when the defense says"but she died of natural causes. See she suffered a heart attack while that guys knee was on her neck".

Yeah, we know everyone one here would not find that credible
