It's probably the body cam footage, IMO. That's the current missing link with regard to video footage that is available to the public. Even if that shows actual resistance by Floyd, it doesn't justify their actions once he was subdued, and it sure as hell doesn't justify the blatant misuse of restraint technique by Chauvin.
yeah good point re: footage. i saw a poignant point posted somewhere else the jist of it is that there isn’t necessarily more police brutality and misconduct now vs before it’s just easier to catch them in the act. unfortunately the citizens who caught these cops in actions couldn’t stop them but they did sound the alarm, so to speak
