What the newly released transcripts show is that Floyd had no intention of resisting arrest, but he was terrified that he was going to be killed—a fear that is completely understandable considering the fact that it’s exactly what happened.
Police officials say there were “isolated cases” of inappropriate force. But 64 videos show many attacks on protesters that appear unwarranted.

"no intention of resisting arrest"
LOL
Yet, video shows he did exactly that.
But let's go back to
autopsy report released by medical examiner...
First about case title: CARDIOPULMONARY ARREST COMPLICATING LAW ENFORCEMENT SUBDUAL, RESTRAINT, AND NECK COMPRESSION.
What word "subdual" means? According to the Oxford English Dictionary, subdual means overcoming or quietening. The title says that the ability of the police to deal with Floyd was complicated by Floyd’s undergoing cardiopulmonary arrest and that the report investigates the issues of restraint and neck compression. As for the restraint and neck compression, no life threatening injuries resulted. As for Floyd’s cardiopulmonary arrest, that is explained by the toxicology report. Floyd was already experiencing breathing and cardiopulmonary arrest prior to police restraint.
Report also show that Floyd had extensive heart disease: multifocal, severe arteriosclerotic heart disease, and history of hypertensive heart disease.
Report also shows no signs of life threatening injuries: no facial, oral mucosal, or conjunctival petechiae, no scalp soft tissue, skull, or brain injuries, and no chest wall soft tissue injuries, rib fractures (other than a single rib fracture from CPR), vertebral column injuries, or visceral injuries.
And last, toxicology report shows the following chemicals in his blood: Fentanyl 11 ng/mL, Norfentanyl 5.6 ng/mL, 4-ANPP 0.65 ng/mL, Methamphetamine 19 ng/mL, 11-Hydroxy Delta-9 THC 1.2 ng/mL, Delta-9 Carboxy THC 42 ng/mL; Delta-9 THC 2.9 ng/mL, Cotinine positive, Caffeine positive.
Floyd died on May 25, 2020. The autopsy was done the following day. However, on June 1, 2020, a press release was issued from Hennepin County that lists “Manner of death: Homicide.” How can it be homicide, if homicide was not supported by the medical examiner’s report. When the autopsy finds Floyd with a fatal amount of Fentanyl and serious heart disease which would make the Fentanyl even more lethal and “no life threatening injuries” to neck or elsewhere, how was homicide committed? A press release is political statement, and is not a medical examiner’s report.
