No movement for several minutes, no signs of breathing, no pulse, and CPR in the ambulance... sure, the official determination of death did not occur until much later.
Surrounded? Don't think so. Screaming? Yeah, screaming that the man was dying or already dead.
Actually, it was a different cop who initiated the interaction, Chauvin came along later.

You seem to think the officer's full weight was on Floyd's neck. It wasn't. The fact that Floyd lifted his head several times during the encounter proves that point...
And yes, Chauvin was surrounded. How many times did they have to tell the crowd to "get back", to "get on the sidewalk"?
He was "told he had no pulse"?
I must have missed that part, was it before or after they called for the ambulance the first, then second time?
Have you ever tried to take someone's pulse during a medical emergency?
I have, multiple times. It's damn difficult to do. Many times what you're actually feeling is your own pulse instead of the patient's...
