There were several minutes where he had stopped responding entirely and you had people there saying "he's not responding you need to check his vitals" and Chauvin chose to instead remain there with his knee in the unresponsive man's neck.Except it was ti restrain him. The thing is, you don't know if someone is telling the truth or not. Especially thr I can't breathe. Often times people will stop resting long enough for officers to ease up and attack the officers. So you often keep them there a longer time.
The EMTs put him on the stretcher. He wa salsa heavy as fuck and not easy to pick up
Idk why so many people want to suck this dude's nuts so hard. He fucked up. If people want to talk what degree the charges should be, or what the exact crime should be, that's fine, but I keep seeing people act like he did nothing wrong. That's just insane. (A shitload of police agree with that too.)
If Chauvin had treated him like a human, he might be alive today. Maybe some narcan or Medical intervention could have saved his life. But no, instead he chose to hold the man down by his neck for several minutes after he stopped responding.
