The act is the continued application of the knee after learning that it was killing the man. Each statement made to the cop that he was killing Floyd arguably triggers a unique act in response to it. Each time the cop is confronted with the decision to stop doing something that is killing a man and refuses to do so he is deciding, with premeditation (which can be short), to kill the man.
