People are basing their opinions on the falsehood that this PRELIMINARY, INCOMPLETE examination proved that...
1. George Floyd was able to resist AT THE TIME THE VIRAL VIDEO WAS RECORDED...
2. George Floyd was absolutely intoxicated...
3. George Floyd was a threat to the four officers,
4. Chauvin was the only one subduing George Floyd
5. Chauvin did what he was trained to do...
6. Chauvin didn't kill George Floyd
7. Chauvin didn't know Floyd was either dead OR unconscious and therefore incapable of knowing that he was trying to subdue a dead (or unconscious) man.
There are people basing their vilification of George Floyd and vindication of Chauvin on this preliminary, incomplete medical examination.
And there are people hopping on that bandwagon on purpose, spurring it on, encouraging people to vilify Floyd and vindicate Chauvin, because it helps them create the wars, riots, looting, hatred, division, and split from humanity that they are intentionally trying to create.

Who, exactly, are you talking about? People here in this forum? I don't know who's vindicating any of the officers. But it's clear, now, that Floyd did resist arrest - contrary to many of the comments I've seen up until now. And no, before anyone asks, he absolutely didn't deserve to die for that. But it is part of the story, just like all of the other evidence.
As for the Medical Examiner, I'm not sure why he would release
any preliminary findings unless he was
absolutely sure of that much that he was reporting. To be wrong about those findings would be terrible. If you're not 100% sure about what you're releasing to the public, keep your mouth shut. Since the ME hasn't kept quiet on that front, I'm going to assume (yeah, I know...) he's done his work on that score. Time will tell.
But getting back to your comments, who - specifically - are these people you're speaking of?
