This is National news and is a couple of days old already.
He was detained because he was suspected initially of passing a forged check, and subsequent reports say he was -actually- trying to use a fake $20 bill to pay for something at the store where that video took place.
In either case, George Floyd was not suspected of committing an act of violence or threat of violence. There was no need to hold him down on the ground AFTER being handcuffed with a knee to his neck for over 9 minutes.
