Considering Floyd's state and actions, how do you think the cop's behaviour should have differed? No evidence so far points to murder or even malice. The transcripts point to the police being not just polite and kind, but actually caring and supportive - very similar to the Rayshard police interactions. There is no evidence that shows they caused his death; there is no evidence that indicates that they wanted to harm him - all the evidence shows exactly the opposite. There is no evidence the police did anything wrong.Chauvin being cleared of all wrongdoing, I disagree. I believe the story that they've known each other prior to that altercation, and the cop was trying to get some petty revenge with his power as a police officer. Maybe not necessarily because of race, but there was some foul play and bad blood between them. He shouldn't be a cop ever again. A negligence charge would be a good idea. Maybe even third degree.
The only bad actor in this farce was Floyd himself. If he wasn't so afraid of going back to jail or if he wasn't so naturally averse to authority, he might be alive. If he would have cooperated maybe they could have gotten medical treatment to address his fentanyl overdose.
