Had George Floyd died with the knee of any of the other three NON-WHITE officers on his neck, would there have been a national uproar?
Question 3:
Did the restraint tactic used by the officer contribute in any way to Floyd's death? If not, why the uproar?

1. Nope
2. Maybe
3. Yes. The knee didn't block Floyd's windpipe. It wasn't that Floyd couldn't breathe, obviously, he could. The knee did, however, target the carotid artery and after 8+ minutes of the blood being cut off to his brain, Floyd was dead.
