Huge discrepancies in the DA& #39;s complaint against Derek Chauvin, accused of murdering George Floyd, and Attorney General Keith Ellison& #39;s complaint against Chauvin.

The DA was much more favorable to Chauvin and police.
DA: "Officer Lane handcuffed Mr. Floyd. Mr. Floyd actively resisted being handcuffed."

AG: "Officer Lane handcuffed Mr. Floyd."

DA says he resisted, AG does not say he did. (DA notes Floyd& #39;s size, AG doesn& #39;t.)

DA: "Once handcuffed, Mr. Floyd *became compliant* and walked with Officer Lane"

AG: "Once handcuffed, Mr. Floyd walked with Officer Lane," period, no "became compliant."

AG: "When Mr. Floyd sat down *he said & #39;thank you man& #39; and was calm*." Lane "noted there was foam at the edges of his mouth."

DA said nothing about Floyd& #39;s "thank you," his calm, or foaming at the mouth—a sign of respiratory distress.

(I flipped the order for ease.)

DA: Officers "made attempts" to put Floyd in car and he "struggled with the officers by intentionally falling down."

AG: Officers "were trying to force" Floyd in when he "said that he could not breathe."

"Intentional falling" is out. Floyd saying he didn& #39;t resist is in.

AG quotes Floyd saying "I& #39;m about to die."

DA does not have that quote.

DA: "Video shows Mr. Floyd *continue* to move and breathe. At 8:24:24, Mr. Floyd stopped moving."

AG: "While Mr. Floyd showed slight movements, his movements and sounds *decreased* until at 8:24:24, Mr. Floyd stopped moving."

DA portrays Floyd non-responsive state as sudden, AG says it was gradual and self-evident to police.
DA said Floyd resisted arrest, period.

AG says he didn& #39;t resist, so Chauvin and cop& #39;s use of force is felony assault; in commission of that crime, Chauvin unintentionally killed Floyd, hence second-degree murder; other officers aided and abetted the assault-turned-murder.
The George Floyd in the AG& #39;s complaint is a lot different than the man portrayed in the DA& #39;s complaint. The AG says Floyd was calm, polite, compliant—and once police started their assault, he foamed at the mouth, said he couldn& #39;t breathe, and told them "I& #39;m about to die."
