No, there's really no excuse for it

George Floyd was merely a suspect. A shop owner called in to report a suspected counterfeit bill. Floyd matched the description. We don't know how detailed that description was and we certainly don't know whether Floyd actually committed a crime.

Besides that, it's irrelevant whether he did or did not commit the crime. That would have been for the courts to decide, not the cops.

We also don't know for sure whether he was intoxicated or not. The police said he was behaving like he was intoxicated, but the same police also said he was resisting arrest, which he clearly was not.

Besides, it's irrelevant whether he was or wasn't intoxicated. Public intoxication is NOT illegal in Minnesota.

We have video proof showing him being killed by having his neck crushed by the weight of the officer, so there is no justification for fraudulently claiming a different cause of death. And remember, the guy was already cuffed and not an imminent threat to anybody.

There is no denying that a homicide occurred, the only question is what kind. Assuming the officer who killed him gets charged, it's probably going to be voluntary manslaughter or maybe criminally negligent homicide. For the other officers, it would be criminally negligent homicide or nothing.
