I actually cannot agree with this statement at all. Floyd was in custody in the back of a unit. He was then removed by Chauvin, in complete disregard for standard procedure, who then proceeded to kneel on his neck for an absurd amount of time. I know there are debates as to what actually killed Floyd, but I'm not going to get into that. Floyd may have been less than cooperative at some point, but once he's in the back of a cruiser he stays there until you get to the station/jail. If you have to hobble him or put a spit mask on him you do it without removal.
What doesn't get talked about, and I'm sure I'll get attacked for this by some, is that this whole thing was personal. Chauvin used to work security at the same bar/club Floyd worked at and they had personal beef. Chauvin disliked Floyd and saw this incident as a chance to put extras on him. Trust me when I say Chauvin is viewed as the Judas of law enforcement.
