One thing to keep in mind is that martial artists are generally in great physical condition. Floyd was a slob with multiple problems that reduced the flow of oxygen to his heart. Being a big guy didn't help in this case, since it just gave his heart more work. There were definitely contributing factors to his death from his own lifestyle. So imagine you've got maybe half the normal oxygen intake, a weak musculature, and you're mashed into concrete instead of a mat, how's that going to work out for you?

Revolutions are usually complicated, so you are right.

Still, Americans took up arms against their government because they could not obtain their emancipation any other way. There is pride in this achievement. It was and is respected and admired round the world.

So, once again; when there is no legal recourse, confrontation - not to mince words, direct action - is justified.

You lack the expertise to make that call. I'll use my 31 years of relevant experience to say I did.

The prosecutions case falls apart under empirical testing. An innocent man was convicted because of ignorance and conjecture
Empirical testing would require you to replicate the same conditions, doing whatever you claim in a gym is not a replication of the environment. That's why you clearly have no authority on this. The prosecution did provide empirical evidence through their various medical experts and scientists. It's quite obvious their case did not fall apart, it was apparent to the jury and to most watching the trial.

That is not really true, is it? It was beside the point before the verdict and more so now. KarateBoy, why do you persist in this fiction? You seem oblivious to the crassness of your choice of words: 'life changing difference'. Why not have some respect for the dead here?
