We don’t know why, but with Floyd already in the back seat, Chauvin pulls him through and out the other side onto the street, where Floyd is forced facedown. The first crucial witness video begins here, with 3 officers on top of Floyd's neck, torso and legs. pic.twitter.com/t5aVk6eLyE— Evan Hill (@evanchill) June 1, 2020
Two college friends are former prosecutors and commented after having read the charging documents. The first said the charging document looked like it had been written by the defense with all kinds of holes big enough to drive a truck through. The second was stunned that they only charged 3rd degree and manslaughter given the facts alone from the first video. The first also read the initial autopsy report and said it was also deeply problematic, having statements that Floyd died of something else, there could have been contributions from intoxicants when there was no toxicology results yet. His take was the prosecutor and coroner were helping set up an acquittal. There is much more broken here than Chauvin and the three other (former) officers.
