Watch it yourself......in a sane world there was no chance for 2nd degree murder and not much chance for manslaughter even. The police were incredibly patient with the guy and tried repeatedly to get him to calm down and get in the car. Claiming he can't sit in a car is crazy considering he was sitting in a car before he was arrested. It was obvious from the footage that: 1) he was high as a kite and probably mentally disturbed (maybe due to the drugs); and 2) he was dying long before he was put on the ground as a result of resisting arrest, again probably due to the drugs in his system.
This was a classic case of overcharging. Chauvin maybe manslaughter although even that is a stretch but possibly justified. The other three should be acquitted of all charges. This released footage is also going to change the narrative a bit and the trial is going to lead to more riots, the goal of AG Elison in the first place. What a mess......
