The Chief may or may not be called to testify at the trials. I'm sure the defense lawyers will use whatever video & witnesses they can to attempt to prove their clients' innocence.
Might want to be more careful in the use of quotation marks for words that were never said. There is no doubt that Floyd resisted officer instructions verbally and physically. That doesn't mean the officers will be exonerated.
