Then somehow he's out of the car( sorry, I don't know these details) must of been some scuffling going on...again agitating the breathing issue. He's then put to ground and we all know the results.
Had he stopped breathing in car,, no murder......or roughing up outside...no murder...but when they get this football player sized man down to ground,, he succumbs, stops breathing, and now we have a murder.
(I am no way in agreement with the extended time of the knee-throat thing)...but I do believe there are many variables here, that might not be able to be answered.

Watch the video again. The officer's knee was NOT on Floyd's throat. It was on the back of his neck. And yes, the officer occasionally did move his hold to
ease up on Floyd's neck, contrary to some comments herein that he was squeezing down on it. Floyd's windpipe was on the opposite side of the hold. This "football player-sized" thug could have conceivably risen and killed Officer Chauvin at any point. The ambulance was called a second time when Floyd showed signs of physical distress due to his Fentanyl overdose. Many people's minds are made up, so it's futile to confuse them with the facts. This officer doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of justice.
