Floyd was screaming, resisting arrest and acting erratically. He was not subdued when he was trying to jump out of the police car while screaming.

You responded by going backward in time to when he was trying to jump out of the police car. I did not ask you about when Floyd was still on his feet. Chauvin wasn't kneeling on his neck when he was in the squad car. Just like he wasn't kneeling on Floyd's neck when Floyd was having breakfast that morning.
Try answering the question. How was Chauvin "attempting" to subdue a man who was ALREADY subdued? He was handcuffed behind his back and was face down on the ground. Why was it necessary to kneel on his neck for several minutes AT THAT POINT IN TIME - and NO OTHER.
Also, there is no excuse for kneeling on a man's neck because he is screaming or acting erratic. If he is handcuffed and face down on the ground - LET HIM SCREAM. LET HIM BABBLE ERRATICALLY. Who cares? He is no threat in that position with 4 cops standing around him.
Side issue? That assumption lead to a retard movement, a terrorist attack on the country and over 30 unnecessary deaths. If Floyd was white, do you think his death would have triggered that kind of response? The answer is no.

ALL of that happened AFTER George Floyd was dead.
You can't go backwards in time and erase police brutality just because a bunch of anarchists rioted AFTER THE FACT.
And it is equally irrelevant that the same riots may not have occurred if George Floyd was white. If the rioters were less concerned about that type of police brutality, it doesn't change the fact that it WAS police brutality.
It's not obvious police brutality, and it never was. Doesn't the evidence point to the possibility that it wasn't?
