Again, this is extraneous to the conversation being posited. That we're talking about the facts of the case (e.g. knee to neck and autopsy reports) has nothing at all to do about WHY we're talking about it, the two are mutually exclusive.
You keep trying to shoehorn one into the other and it isn't working.
Where are your facts? Above is opinion that says more about you than you realize.
“"I said, 'officer, he's not resisting arrest, you have your knee on him and you have handcuffs on him, he's detained at this moment,'" Williams said.
Rashad West -- who owns the Dragon Wok restaurant released the video along with another man, Jared Brewington -- who also disputed claims that Floyd resisted arrest.
"Did not see any resistance, not at all," West told CNN's Don Lemon on Wednesday night of the surveillance video.
Brewington, whose business preceded West's at the same location, agreed that he did not see Floyd resisting arrest.”

More facts:
“"However, the autopsy alone cannot answer all questions germane to the cause and manner of death, and must be interpreted in the context of the pertinent investigative information and informed by the results of laboratory studies," the statement said.“
Medical examiner issues statement on death of George Floyd
Their perception of what was going on, as witnesses, is important. Just as is the video. Just as are the accounts from the officers as to their perception of resistance. The theory of trials is that you will have a group of jurors who will collectively evaluate all of that testimony and perception and test in their own view whether the witnesses were credible, how good a memory they had, how good a point of view they had, and any other factor meaningful to them on the whole that helps them arrive at the truth.
As imperfect a process as that may be, it is the best humanity can endeavor to have.
No, the facts are in the autopsy, opinions are what you are hanging your hat on.
Um...the murder was ruled a homicide.
George Floyd’s Death Ruled A Homicide By Medical Examiner
homicide in Autopsy reports does not mean murder..... the jury will decide if a homicide was committed.... homicide in autopsy terms means that someone else contributed to the death.... it does not mean they are guilty of murder, manslaughter, or even negligence.... imo, this case is so publicized that the police officer will be convicted of manslaughter no matter what happens at trial but in an ideal world if the autopsies show that the cops use of force was above and beyond/ outside of protocol then he would be guilty of manslaughter... if the autopsy shows that the force was not a direct cause of asphyxiation and wishing protocol than the office should be not guilty.

George Floyd’s Death Ruled A Homicide By Medical Examiner
Just this part:
“George Floyd’s death was a homicide, the county medical examiner has ruled, saying in a report released Monday that the 46-year-old died as a result of cardiopulmonary arrest caused by “law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression.””

The finding from the medical examiner in Hennepin County, Minnesota, comes after Floyd’s family released results earlier Monday from a private autopsy they commissioned that concluded he had died of “asphyxiation from sustained pressure.”
A preliminary report from the medical examiner last week said there were “no physical findings” to reach that conclusion.
The official cause of death, according to the medical examiner, was cardiopulmonary arrest, not asphyxiation, and the report points to contributing factors that were not mentioned by the family autopsy, stating that Floyd had heart disease, was high on fentanyl, a powerful opioid, and had recently taken methamphetamine.
“Decedent experienced a cardiopulmonary arrest while being restrained by law enforcement officer(s),” the medical examiner said in a report.

No, you posted nonsense. Resisting arrest is not a race-based act. In fact you're the only one who mentioned the race of anyone involvedYou’re trying to hard PJ. Go back and read my response to the first time you called me out on it. I specifically gave my reason for his racism.
For him to even remotely consider that Floyd was not resisting arrest is totally biased and racist against the white cops.
