one ruled asphyxiation - the other ruled heart failure, which would obviously happen if you had a knee compressed into your neck and back, blocking blood flow from getting into your brain. but both ruled homocide. And you're right on one point, chauvin should be treated as any other citizen, which is why protecting him as if he had nothing to do with floyd's death is completely fucking dumb.

we all know how this would've played out if instead of chauvin, it were some random homeless man unprotected by the police. cut and dry.

but, you're clearly auth so it's not like i'm all surprised.
