I've posted this here before, but worth mentioning again.
I used to write a blog/newsletter on Minneapolis politics and corruption and had built some fairly solid sources.
Less than 24 hours after Floyd died, I talked to a Minneapolis police officer who was already aware of the initial toxicology report. Specifically that Floyd had enough drugs in his system to kill a rhino. So to be clear:
-The Minneapolis police knew this fact in less than 24 hours. I suspect that was broadly socialized information within the police because my contact was not in leadership.
-The Minneapolis City Council and the Mayor knew this fact in less than 24 hours.
-Consider that it took several months before this information was released to the public.
Just as important, Chauvin followed police procedure to the letter. You can argue that the procedure was wrong, but you can't convict a guy of murder when he's following well established procedures and the perp is a walking pharmaceutical dispensary.
They ALL knew this was fucked up. The police officers never spoke up in defense of their own. The City Council and the Mayor used it to further the communist agenda.
One last thing that "they" would like you to forget. Chauvin and Floyd knew one another. They both worked security for years at a very sketchy place called "El Nuevo Rodeo". A lot of rumors of drug and human trafficking out of that establishment and for whatever reason, I was told that the place was untouchable for many years.
I suspect there's far more to the story in terms of much deeper corruption. But that's Minneapolis for you and why I call this city "Little Chicago". Every bit as much corruption but with that passive-aggressive "Minnesota Nice" bullshit.
Don't forget that one month prior to Floyd's death he pulled the same stunt...ingesting his drugs when arrested by cops...he was brought back to life by narcan. In the case of 'the incident' Chauvin was following exact training for dealing with someone who is ODing. Immobilize the person so that they don't hurt anyone or themselves....and wait for medical care/EMRs to respond and provide narcan or other means. The courts refused to allow into the case the fact that Floyd had a history of ingesting his drugs when being arrested....and...regarding El Nuevo Rodeo...that place was located less than 200 yards from the precinct headquarters and was the first place torched when the antifa goons that were flown into the Twin Cities torched that area of town.

I think Chauvin should just sue for millions.
