And "criminal" is irrelevant. The cops don't have the right to snuff out anybody.
You could start with the coroners report which was made available to the public early on.

I watched the video(s) because it was being discussed so much in media, and while the officer was clearly not attending to a person in medical distress, he also wasn't killing him. The thousands of people restrained that way with less than a 4x lethal dose of fentanyl survived the encounter.

The whole thing is unfortunate, and the criminal aspect of the Floyd/Chauvin encounter is relevant because if Floyd had not been involved in criminal activity, he'd have died in his car rather in in police custody.

As I said, I apologize for neither the cop, nor the robber.
