Why?
His hands were cuffed behind his back. How is a guy in his 40s going to get up like that? The cops could have stood 5 feet way and LET HIM SCREAM.
If he tried to get up, just push him back down.

I don't think pinning someone down is using an unreasonable amount of force. We see people get pinned down all of the time by cops. It's usually not an issue.
I think what you mean to say is that the cop should not have pressed his knee against the back of Floyd's neck with enough force to strangulate him. I don't know if the cop really did that or not. It could also have been unintentional. I'm not sure. I think it's something we should look at carefully.
