I'm going to interject another perspective here. Was George Floyd under the influence? Looks highly likely Also, he had medical issues.
Was a knee to the neck for that duration overkill ( no pun intended)? Yes, it was. There are several other options that could have been used instead of a knee on his neck for that period of time.
If nothing else, they could've hobbled and handcuffed him much earlier in the detention. Just my perspective which is usually easy to offer in hindsight.
I just hope this trial brings closure to the family and doesn't set off another round of public violence.
There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...
