one of the other officers suggested moving Floyd into a different position but Chauvin refused

At one point, when Floyd was still talking and breathing, one of the other officers suggested moving Floyd into a different position but Chauvin refused, telling them they were 'staying put', the complaint states.

It also says that after Floyd passed out, one of the officers checked and found no pulse, but still none of the three officers holding him down - Chauvin, Lane and Kueng - moved from their positions pinning him to the floor - or began giving him medical assistance.

The murder charge states that Chauvin caused Floyd's death 'by perpetrating an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved mind, without regard for human life'.

At what point did he premeditate the murder. He may have been depraved when it started, but at some point in the next 8 minutes he knew he was going to kill his prisoner

I wish them luck on making the spaghetti stick to the walls. Not. My best guess is there will be video to either prove or dispute their claims.
