A reasonable officer would have given life support. Perhaps a reasonable officer would not have taken their knee off of his neck, because it wouldn't have been there in the first place!
No pulse, and limp body; get your damn knee off of his neck and help him get CPR.
It seems reasonable to call it "depraved indifference" at the least.
