Of course not. I am just interested in learning about Floyd's character. The autopsy shows he did have traces of fentanyl and meth in his blood so he was not "clean". Too, in the video showing him being walked from the wall to the vehicle he appeared to me to be unsteady on his feet, walking in the manner those under the influence of such substances do.
The police used excessive force and killed him and need to be tried for their actions in a court of law. Not only Chauvin, but the other three who stood by and let it happen.
Floyd and Chauvin both worked security at the same club for fourteen years, Floyd inside, Chauvin outside. At this point I am considering the possibility Chauvin had a grudge against Floyd, that his killing Floyd (yes he did kill him) may have been personal. Of course it may also have been racial. BUT, the other three cops standing by and letting it happen really concerns me. They failed to intervene and stop Chauvin. That speaks of a poorly run police department at the least.
