There is no way that is what happened here because there is no way that Chauvin knew he would be sent to a call where forgery was suspected on Mr. Floyd.
The charges brought are the charges they feel they can prove...be happy with that as had they brought anything over reaching, its likely that the scumbag walks when all is said and done.

I would be happy with anything frankly, I am just trying to point out premeditation doesn't require planning at all, he doesn't have to intend to kill the victim earlier in the day, if he finds himself in a position where he thinks to himself 'if I just put my knee here and don't move I will kill him' that, while difficult to prove, is premeditation
