I'm not seeing the connection here to the Floyd death as the incidents are completely different and the video isn't evidence on it's own of wrongdoing. We should probably wait for the completion of the investigation before directing our outrage to this story.
Quote:
Once police entered the apartment unit, "an interaction occurred which included officers deploying a conducted energy weapon at the man, as well as firing plastic projectiles from an Anti-Riot Weapon ENfield," the SIU release said.
"When these had no effect, an officer discharged a firearm and the man was struck."

I can't say for sure if it was excessive but they didn't go in guns a blazing. This article simply doesn't have enough information to draw any conclusion even if it appears you already have.
