three cops held the handcuffed George Floyd down while Officer Chauvin kneeled on his neck.
They were not onlookers...nor are McConnell, Burr, and Graham.

I have seen a theory that the one kneeling on his back contributed by blocking the lungs. It was also interesting how it took a couple of days for the video showing all three to hit MSM. It was on Twitter right away, then a big headline on CNN like it was news much later.

So many questions. Innumerable questions.

Did a private autopsy and determined it wasn't a "heart" problem or whatever bullshit determined by the County Coroner.

He stated that the knee to the neck not only cut off the airflow, but cut off the blood flow to the brain.
He also recognized that the other three kneeling on the victim, wouldn't allow the Diaphragm to expand, therefore preventing the lungs from inflating. He ruled it a no question homicide and declared the other three police officers equally as guilty.......

and it sounds as if the county coroner needs to have a review.

Chauvin wasn't the only one on Floyd. The others are hidden behind the vehicle in most images, but two more were on top of him squeezing the air out of his lungs.
