Another video shows how that "black man" was professionally arrested and placed into the patrol car and the two officers then attempted to handle the other two subjects. While they were distracted, Floyd escaped from the patrol vehicle before he was apprehended again. He was placed on the ground in order to regain control of him and held down by the officer's knee. This is common practice, however the placement of the knee may have been done improperly. Whether he died as a result of the knee placement of the drugs and his medical condition will be revealed in court.
Just because one does not approve of law enforcement work, does not give one a reason to assume that all cops are bad or that every "black man" is unjustly apprehended or abused. There is always two sides to every incident, and if I am on the jury, I will always take the officer's side until proven that he handled the incident ILLEGALLY. It is up to the prosecutor, not media to prove malicious intent.
