Hi Kristine, I seem to recall that the idea was that he was on his stomach too long and because he was in such bad health he couldn’t fully fill his lungs (I believe it’s called compression asphyxia). The testimony as I recall it, was that he had his knee on him too long, not that it was per se on his neck. I think after he was zip tied one of the trainee officers suggested they move him to his side, per policy, and Chauvin said no. It’s too bad. If he was going to die anyways (I don’t know) he would have then died zip-tied on his side, and most likely no one would have gone to jail.
Also, I agree about the 9/11 movie comparison. I becomes incomplete narrative vs misleading narrative which just invites people to believe whatever they want, when there is a knowable objective reality.
Thank you for the reply. A fair documentary would have been a deep dive investigation into how he died I guess, instead of what was offered. Floyd was probably a major asshole... irrelevant.
I got the impression he was a pretty good guy who just made endlessly bad choices. But that too is irrelevant. Except that it gives some context on how the situation even came to be. Endlessly bad choices.
