He was trying to restrain him. George Floyd would be alive today in a cell somewhere, if he had sit when he was told to SIT.
WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE EXACTLY, in that situation if it was you and George Floyd, Bill???????????? Pretend he is white. Pretend he is Asian. Pretend he is Australian Aboriginal. Pretend he is a Pacific Islander. I don't see race as a factor here. But maybe YOU do???

At the VERY least, when he stopped moving, when he stopped breathing, when the other officer could not find a pulse, I would have pivoted to trying to save the life of the human being.I
EDIT: Imply that I may be racist just once more and my ignore list will grow again.
