He applied so much pressure that Floyd was still able to lift his head and move around...
You act like the officer Who was surrounded by screaming people knew that Floy was dead.
In reality, he wasn't pronounced dead until much later...
But with your logic, it's the officer's fault any time a suspect is injured, regardless of the suspects actions...
I mean, it was the cop who initiated the interaction, right?
