Of course not. Very low chance that they will be.
What is particularly shocking is how hard it is even to find any kind of data about this. Best estimates are that maybe about 1,000 people a year die at the hands of US police, although it should be noted that in many cases this would be completely reasonable (eg because the victim was armed and firing at the time). But accountability beyond being sacked (or being quietly rotated to another force) is comparatively rare.

It seems the answer to that is "not yet"
"Police said in a statement earlier about the death of George Floyd: "As additional information has been made available, it has been determined that the Federal Bureau of Investigation will be a part of this investigation."
Speaking to US media on Tuesday, Chief Arradondo said the force's policies "regarding placing someone under control" will be reviewed as part of the probe.
According to the Associated Press news agency, Minneapolis police officers are allowed under the department's use-of-force policy to kneel on a suspect's neck as long as they do not obstruct the airway.
Asked about the FBI's involvement, Chief Arradondo said he made the decision to include the agency after receiving "additional information" from a community source "that just provided more context".
In a statement, a spokesperson for the FBI Minneapolis division said the agency's investigation woud focus on whether the police officers involved "willfully deprived the individual of a right or privilege protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States".
When completed, the agency will present its findings to the Minnesota state's attorney for possible federal charges. The Minnesota BCA, which investigates most in-custody deaths, will continue to conduct its own investigation, focusing on possible violations of state laws."

This is an appalling case and the 'police officer' applying force onto this mans neck is culpable of causing his death, whichever way you look at it.
I can't believe they are permitted to use this method of restraint. It's horrific and I'm glad there is video evidence of it. Whether this man had or hadn't committed a crime, there are less invasive ways of restraint.

tiggerblue - // Judging by some photos of this guy posted on Twitter I would go as far as to say it was premeditated. //
If you can predict the premeditated actions of someone based on images of them you see on social media, there is a job for you with any law enforcement organisation on the planet - name your price, they will pay it.
