      Floyd was a big man. His record would be relevant if the video evidence surrounding his arrest gave reason to believe he was aggressive. However, it does not. Sometimes, ex-cons know the drill. https://twitter.com/paulsperry_/status/1266554504385892352 …

      Also, kneeling on a man's neck is deadly force. Maybe you do that in the heat of the moment if he's big and struggling, but just staying there while he's pinned to the ground? Nope.

      That said, if I'm police department brass studying the pattern of excessive-force cases to improve practices, I'd focus on the high number of high-profile cases where the victim was physically much larger than the cops. (Floyd, Garner, Michael Brown, Rodney King).

          Darren Wilson is 6'3" . Michael was the same height, and overweight. I know the "big scary black man" is a trope y'all like to tout in justifying Wilson's actions, but size differential doesn't cut the mustard in that case.
