You can see in the video that Floyd is handcuffed while he's down. Chauvin used bad judgement in not cuffing or having another officer that was present cuff his ankles and getting his knee off his neck before he died, especially since Floyd was complaining about not being able to breathe. Chauvin did cause Floyds death and it might have been an accidental death, or manslaughter, but it does not rise to the charge of murder, I'm pretty sure Chauvin wasn't trying to kill him. What's really disgusting is the way that the media has tried to make Floyd into some kind of innocent do-well victim, or even a role model or national hero of sorts. Lets not forget that his arrest was happening because he was suspected to be in the process of committing a crime. He also had a violent criminal history. The threat to burn down the city if Chauvin isn't convicted of murder is coercion and is intended to influence the jury pure and simple. Floyd has some responsibility in how he wound up where he did.
