courtney ross testified that he struggled with an opioid addiction. you knew that. this is nothing new. the difference though on may 25, 2020, the officers just wouldn't listen to him, wouldn't look at the signs and recognize the signs of what they had prepared for. a reasonable officer in the defendant's place with all his training and all his experience, including that 40-hour crisis intervention course and a refresher course, should have known that and recognized it. floyd was trying to get into the car. he was trying to work up the courage. he said he would count to three. he just couldn't do it. so the defendant arrives on the scene. he surveys the scene. he saunters up to the car. and he slips on his gloves. >> you can't win. you can't win. >> i'm not trying to win. >> get in the car. get in the car. >> he know it. hear me. don't do me like that. please. >> get in the car, we can talk. >> i'm claustrophobic. i'm claustrophobic. put me in the front. >> no. get in the car. >> i'm not a bad guy. i'm not a bad guy. >> you ain't going to win. >> they don't listen.
