Good find. I had not heard that case. Notice that the cops were black. Isn't that blatant racism? I have heard many other cases and most times the cop isn't even charged. This one ended up in acquittal:

Nugent found not guilty in Taser death trial in Winnfield
October 29, 2010
A jury today found former Winnfield Police Officer Scott Nugent not guilty of manslaughter in the death of a suspect who Nugent had Tasered repeatedly.
The name changes the city changes
But the story is the same- a convicted felon commits a crime -he is confronted -cops attempt an arrest -he fights them -he is bigger stronger and faster and is overpowering them -they shoot or restrain -he dies-they riot they burn they loot
Then they demand “better police work” The city says yes yes better police work the cops say yes yes better police work
Nobody knows what that is
Over and over
The circle game
The toxicology report makes a strong case for death by drug overdose.
Good observation. It is not uncommon to find that in postmortem toxicological reports of those with a Fentanyl level of 11 ng/mL the cause of death is determined to be a result of drug overdose.
One of the four officers charged in the killing of George Floyd was confronted by a shopper while buying groceries on Saturday in Minnesota.
J. Alexander Keung, 26, was released from Hennepin County Jail on Friday night on a $750,000 bond. He was approached by a woman while shopping at a Cub Foods grocery store the next day.
Kueng took Floyd's pulse after Chauvin had already knelt on his neck for nearly seven minutes. After checking for the pulse, the criminal complaint says, Kueng reportedly told his colleagues, "I couldn't find one."
Chauvin continued to kneel on Floyd's neck for an additional two minutes after Kueng said he couldn't feel Floyd's pulse.
This never should have resulted in a death. Period.

Even there you can see the narrative shifting. "He has no pulse" now becomes "I couldn't find one." is either true? If there is a trial we may find out.

If either is true, the officers should have immediately begun giving aid rather than continuing to kneel on him. That's the protocol and their training.
