Misreporting[]
8 April 2021 in the New York Times, misleading statements were made about the encounter between Chauvin and Floyd.
Although the graphic uses a singular "toe" in "Toe OFF the ground", Wright summarized this as "His toes are off the ground".
The photograph however only depicts the left shoe of Chauvin with a gap: it does not depict that the right shoe is also airborne.
Furthermore since it was a still photograph it could merely depict an isolated moment where Chauvin lost his balance and rock forward. It is not proof that the toe was airborne for a prolonged period of time.
It would be unstable to do that, Chauvin would've fallen over.
Wright speculates there is 91.5 pounds on the left knee with the toe airborne and 86.9 pounds when the toe is airborne.
This is baseless speculation for twofold reasons:
- there is no telling that Chauvin would have a perfect 50% weight distribution between his left and right legs
- there is no telling what % of weight would be forward on the shins vs back on the toes
As a surface is elevated, one naturally puts less weight on that surface. This is why incline pushups are easier while decline pushups are harder.
