You didn't watch the FULL bodycam video did you? At one point the officer asks for the ETA on the ambulance. At another point Chavez says, "You need to calm down, you're going to give yourself a heart attack." He even offers to open the window for Floyd. Watch the entire thing; both of the released bodycam videos in entirety. They're very different than what we've been fed.

That they did call an ambulance was established from the start. Nothing I said contradicts that. The issue is when they called it, and the fact one of them knelt on his neck. Kneeling on his neck alone is sufficient to make how they acted awful, irrespective of anything else. There is nothing that will make that an acceptable way to restrain someone. So unless you're telling me the video proves nobody knelt on his neck, it's not going to improve things. If the full video as claimed above shows that he complained about breathing before getting out of the car, then that suggests they waited longer to call an ambulance than what I thought they did, and so my impression of their behaviour is now significantly worse.
