Although what Chauvin did was "horribly wrong in your book," Chauvin was performing a tactic that was officially taught in training by the Minneapolis Police Academy.
His tactic was justified to begin with for a short period of time, but he took it too far, was not watching the man in his custody and they kept leaning on him about two minutes after he died before realizing something was wrong. That is horrible, brutal and wildly irresponsible.

The biggest mistake that was made that day, IMO, is that after they had Floyd secured in the back of the police vehicle,
Not everything was a lie. His name WAS George Floyd, wasn't it?

How much were the police distracted by the hostile crowd? In that kind of situation and with that kind of crowd, the police are fearing for their life.
I agree with previous poster that the police's biggest mistake was allowing Floyd out of the police vehicle. Open the other side of the vehicle and pull Floyd fully in; close both doors. Allowing Floyd out of the vehicle might bring calm to a reasonable arrestee, but nothing is going to calm a drug-induced rage.

If the situation was unsafe the officers should have left the scene.
I hope you never get treated like that.
Free Derek Chauvin NOW… (along with the rest of the officers that were prosecuted and convicted of crimes they didn't commit).

Why would any reasonable person decide to fight it out with a bunch of popos on the street even if you believe the arrest is not legal? You still gonna get arrested and dragged to jail simply because the numbers are against you. Why do it hard way if the outcome is ultimately the same? Fight it in court, duh.
In other words, George Floyd was not murdered.
Have you ever considered that he was a drug addict and therefore by definition unreasonable and not in good health?
the results are not pretty for EVERYBODY).

The results of that botched arrest destroyed parts of this city and even other parts of the country and the world. That arrest was botched, and as it turns out, letting him go with a warning would have saved lives, maybe even his.

Not the results of the arrest, but the results of non-enforcement of existing anti-riot laws.
PS. How would YOU handle the arrest of big, rowdy, drugged out but ultimately fragile and mentally deficient guy who absolutely dead seat of not going back inside? Tazer? Tranquilizer darts? That'd kill him for sure. Just let anybody who refuses to be arrested go? Isn't it what "progressive" DAs tried in SF, Oakland and such?

Never forget how the media played the incident, over and over and over again, just as they did the edited Rodney King video. They stoked the flames that resulted in dozens of innocent people being killed, many more injured, hundreds of businesses ruined, and the racial divide made wider than it ever was before.
When you kneel on a guy until two minutes after he’s dead, you have failed bigly. It’s amazing that people can see kneeling on a sick, drugged but at that point defenseless man, long enough to see him say I can’t breath, call to his mother that he is dying and then die

Except, the kneeling didn't kill him. Read the official autopsy report that Patrick posted.
Pfff, track him? He'll rid of that tracking device and cuffs in 10 minutes after he's out of sight and reconnected with his ghetto buddies.
PeopleUnited,
While you defend the sainted memory of George Floyd against these ravenous wolves in here, just remember, you have a friend that agrees with you:
Pelosi Thanks George Floyd for 'Sacrificing Your Life for Justice' After Verdict
