Socal, please try not to retard all across the board. Maybe just read and not comment on threads where the adults are talking?
The case is nothing about the takedown. There is no doubt that the police in America can use considerable (even lethal) force in taking down a resisting suspect.
The case is about the continued use of potentially lethal force on a non-resisting, indeed even unresponsive suspect who was in handcuffs.
The officer knelt on Floyds neck for nine and a half minutes, without any let up or respite. The case will hinge on at what point, if any, did that kneeling move from "reasonable" to "unreasonable".
Personally, I think it will be found that it was unreasonable for Chauvin to continue to kneel on the neck of an unconscious man.
Chauvin also had an obligation to provide aid to Floyd, and that he also callously failed to do.
