One of the things that I don't know was brought up was that Derek Chauvin and many other members of the Minneapolis police force used the knee on the neck technique a multitude of times and no one had ever died from it before. In fact there is video of Chauvin using it on a teenager for over 17 minutes with no adverse effects.

I don't know whether things in his background should have prevented Chauvin from being employed as a police officer. But I do know that if Floyd has simply gotten into the police car, he might be alive today.
