it's the complete timeline 30 minutes total. starts at the beginning with the cops investigating passing the fake 20 and the store owner points out Floyd's car to them. they were probably waiting to send someone else in or were just sitting there "partying". Floyd wasn't too bright lingering at the scene he shoulda left to try elsewhere.
note that Chauvin wasn't part of the first group of cops, he arrived later as backup. from the start, Floyd freaked and eventually put himself in this situation. that said, Chauvin did use excessive force far too long, beyond reason given it's clear Floyd had all but passed out and was no longer struggling. the knee in the back made it harder for Floyd to breathe while already being "high" and a prolonged struggle caused Floyd to die. i think Chauvin is guilty of involuntary manslaughter, gross negligence where he should have seen Floyd was no longer resisting and let up on him. Floyd might have lived if Chauvin had done that.
