I could be reading this wrong, so correct me where necessary, but based on the link you shared all three medical examiners have concluded this was a homicide, two of which agreeing that:
His death was caused by the police subdual and restraint in the setting of severe hypertensive atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and methamphetamine and fentanyl intoxication.
Okay, so he had a potentially fatal level of fentanyl in his system, but it appears from handwritten notes of the same meeting where it's claimed Andrew Baker (Chief Medical Examiner) said Floyd may have died anyway due to a "fatal level of fentanyl under normal circumstances", it was also written that Baker said "I am not saying this killed him".
Baker will probably have to clarify these seemingly conflicting statements in court in his own words, so we should be hesitant before making any conclusions based off notes people made of what he said. I'd rather hear an explanation from the horses mouth.

The cop is charged with murder two.
Those charges need dropped.
Rioting occurred throughout city, starting with people pouring out of bars on Division Street and destroying two taxicabs and dancing in the streets. The most serious violence occurred in the impoverished neighborhoods on the city's South and West Sides. Over 200 civilians and 95 police officers were injured, 61 police vehicles were damaged, over 1,000 arrests made and 347 stores were looted, mostly along Madison Street. No one was killed during the rioting, but a liquor store clerk was severely burnt when looters set fire to the store.

methamphetamine and fentanyl
And methamphetamine, don't forget that.
Anyone that knows anything about drugs, knows that is a bad combo. Many have died from it. With just normal doses of each.
The cops were still wrong and of course so was Floyd. But it looks like the cops are not murderers.

If that guy was a fentynyl dealer, how many people's lives do you think have prematurely ended or have been #ed because of the products he sold? How many od's has he caused? Broken families? Pain suffering?
# drug dealers, they don't give a # about the people whose lives they destroy, they care about the money they make off them and such a piece of # drug to be selling. # him in all honesty, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

The knee on the man’s neck didn’t help much.
Of course he was high.
But, did he deserve to die ?

He was training the rookies. But that cop had 16 years experience and he was on the guys neck for 8 seconds. They may be rookies with him but they are trained - he had plenty of backup to get that guy in the squad car.
They tried for 10 minutes to get him into the car, he claimed he "couldn't breathe" in the car and was resisting the entire time, next.
If they couldn't get one guy in a car (on fentanyl of all things) in 10 minutes? They shouldn't be cops.

You shouldn’t let a drug crazed person have a chance to hurt you.

11,000 times a dose is what he had in his system. the man would had died later on with no help at all.
And a EMT does not a forensic specialist make.
