Biden earlier Tuesday called the civil unrest across the nation a “wake-up call” for America. 

He also criticized Trump for the president’s response to the protests, which included threatening to send the military to cities and states that do not control unrest related to the protests.

“Look, the presidency is a big job. Nobody will get everything right. And I won’t either. But I promise you this. I won’t traffic in fear and division,” Biden said.

“I won’t fan the flames of hate. I will seek to heal the racial wounds that have long plagued this country — not use them for political gain.”

Crump and other lawyers for Floyd’s family on Monday called for Chauvin to be charged with first-degree murder on the heels of an independent autopsy that found that Floyd died from asphyxiation as a result of sustained pressure on his neck and back.

Antonio Romanucci, one of those lawyers, said the autopsy commissioned by the family also justifies criminal charges being filed against the other three officers, who “knew that they were applying restraints that could or would cause death.”

The Hennepin County, Minnesota, Medical Examiner’s Office later Monday released updated findings of its official autopsy, which like the independent autopsy ruled Floyd’s death a homicide, albeit with a different cause of death.

The ME’s office said that Floyd died from cardiopulmonary arrest complicated by police restraining him and compressing his neck.

The ME’s autopsy noted “other significant conditions” in Floyd, which included “arteriosclerotic and hypertensive heart disease; fentanyl intoxication; recent methamphetamine use.”
