What happened outside of those 9 minutes does not matter. Floyd could have had his wrists and legs cuffed rendering him immobilized once Chauvin was on top of him and controlled. There were 3 other officers that could have applied that restraint while Chauvin had him pinned. Period. End of story.
Chauvin absolutely screwed up and deserves what he got. I have a half dozen relatives in law enforcement and they all say the same.

I guess I could turn it around on you. Show me a handbook, rule or regulation that says 9 minutes is excessive. I am not an expert on law enforcement, but I suspect it’s based on a reasonableness standard. In light of Floyd’s behavior prior to being detained by Chauvin, certainly his actions could be considered reasonable.
Most (no all) of the people I know who actually saw the documentary think Chauvin got a raw deal, so I guess we’re even.
