    Im not gonna watch the video but I can tell from the picture that this dude is putting the same amount of pressure on his back as his neck. Hes also squatting to purposely keep weight off of his neck.

    Let me take a crack at it Steve

      Definitely, you can see their center of weight is resting on their own legs, Chauvin was kneeling upright with full weight on the neck.

        This was something they discussed in the trial today -- based on the positioning of Chauvin's feet, it was clear that almost all of his weight was on Floyd.
