You failed to answer the question. I don't honestly blame you though. Allow me to answer it for you:
From the point where Floyd went into cardiac arrest to the point where the EMTs arrive was approximately 2 minutes. You have approximately 5 minutes to resuscitate. He was resuscitated multiple times, and the coroner's report reflected that fact.
Every attempt was made to save George Floyd's life. The officers on scene were not qualified to do so, but they had called the professionals who'd have a shot long prior. Tell me, given the coroner's report pretty directly states that no action of the officers caused the death, and yet their actions regarding medics clearly attempted to prevent it, what else were they supposed to do?
The coroners report i initially linked was simply fact based, and as Goom states vague.
https://www.mncourts.gov/mncourtsgov/media/High-Profile-Cases/27-CR-20-12949-TT/Exhibit112112020.pdfthis report expounds on the coroners report, and states quite clearly that while floyd was likely in an overdose scenario the lethality of that scenario is not clear should officers have not acted as they did.
so to answer your last question, per the report, they were not supposed to do what they did. because it does not clearly absolve them of guilt in Floyd's death.
if it did the prosecutor may not have charged Chauvin at all for murder, perhaps just some brutality related charge on an already on his way to death man. or the judge would have dismissed charges pre-trial as this fact would have absolved Chauvin.
every attempt was not made, as the recovery position is specifically used in cases where cardiac arrest is a present danger.
now you as a juror or member of the public are more able to look at the facts of the case and decide that Floyd was a goner regardless, but its not an objective fact per the autopsy report or coroners clarifying statements. just as the narrative that a knee on his neck killed him inherently is wholly disproved by the coroner's lack of findings of neck damage and chest damage.
its not a case that he was killed inherently, but rather that he wasnt given the best chance to survive. which is consistent with what ive said all along about what charges were appropriate and not used by the DA. its a classic overcharge to appease the masses.

Just want to point out for people throwing about 11ng/ml like it means everything that my great aunt survived a BAC of 0.89%.
indeed, my buddy got a DUI, blew .3% or so, swallowed a baggie of xanies when he was pulled over, and survived just fine after a night in the drunk tank.
