"Trash" might be harsh but it would be hard to argue that the presentation is unbiased.

The former Federal and State Prosecutor uses the video to make his points. He generated the video, he knows what is in it, yet he puts words into the mouth of the store owner that are not present on his video.

The video is edited to cut out several minutes between approaching the car and sitting Floyd on the sidewalk. The video is also edited to cut about six minutes of time the officer spent kneeling on Floyd's neck. Perhaps it was only edited to remove periods of time where nothing was happening but it was edited.

If the officer is being accused of kneeling on the neck for an unnecessarily long period of time then editing the video to reduce that amount of time seems suspicious.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
