the cop on the neck might not be the killer?

I've seen the very short video and I saw 3 cops kneeling on George Floyd. Yes, there's that cop with the knee on his neck.
But I wonder... the second cop kneeling on his back might be the reason Mr. Floyd could not breathe. The third cop is kneeling on
Floyd's legs.

Maybe the second cop is the real killer. (Actually, in my mind, all 4 are the killers, all equally)

If none figured out that their actions killed this man, than they are all accomplices.

should be charged with murder too.

How many times have you heard about a robbery that turns into a murder because one of the participants either accidentally or on purpose shoots and kills someone and all of them with murder, even though the other participants weren't planning on shooting anyone? And everyone in the group is charged with murder in most states.

Yep, all 4 of them should be charged with murder.

3. Imagine if a cop got shot in a drive-by and they caught four dudes in a car

What are the chances RicROC would be disputing whether it was the guy in the passenger seat or the guy in the back seat who actually killed the cop?

They all did it. None of them stopped it. Why does a black man who is cuffed and on the ground need 3 full grown police officers sitting on him anyway?
