Hell, long past the point where he was able to do anything. And even if it was just because he was resisting arrest, this is inexcusable. Even on the off chance his fentanyl dose was enough to kill him on its own, keeping a knee on someone's neck long past the point where they've lost consciousness, after the crowd's pointed out that he's clearly not able to resist arrest (which is also against policy for his police force) is inexcusable.
Of course it was inexcusable. Chauvin tried to plead guilty to 3rd degree murder. Even Casey Anthony got off though, because there were questions about the exact manner of death. I'm not trying to make a one to one comparison. I know one incident had video and the other did not. I'm just saying.
