First day, everything revolved around the neck period and the crowd watching.
Yesterday, they showed all the individual body cam footage as well as video of Floyd, after he left the store and the employees came out to ask him to come back to talk about the phony bill he passed.
We see each officer from just before they arrive at the corner and follow them from there to the conclusion, with audio, and with the background voices, previously heard in other videos.
Floyd was yelling he could not breath from the time they tried to get him up and walk him back across the street to the first cop car. Long before any restraints other than cuffs were used. At no time does Floyd stop resisting or yelling like a madman. Cops are heard commenting on their thoughts that he was on drugs, maybe PCP? All the while, sounding and appearing to remain calm and matter of factly doing their jobs.
You have see all the video, not just selected sections.
But I think the prosecutor is making a great case that it was NOT murder.
....so far.
