Video is incomplete, moves very quickly online without context, and as audiovisual information is much more evocative that prose is difficult to criticize So Expect lots of dumb decisions made on the basis of it going forward I guess Contemplate this on the Tree of Woepic.twitter.com/8Xbz88Cwk4

Despite this, video can be rather good at depicting the information those present had at their disposal. One may have a knife, or one may be drugged, but provided decent footage, one can see whether those present could have known as much.

This misses the point. The outrage is that Floyd died with a knee on his neck regardless of whether that's what killed him or not. It's not about the facts, it's about the impunity of the police and the indignity they impose on people.
