Chauvin Murder Trial

[Brian37]

There is room for debate on how much the disproportionate and somewhat unprofessional response of a botched take-down outweighed the risk of a large man demonstrably on drugs with a history of armed violence against a pregnant woman.

There isn't much of a debate. His actions were excessive and not just unprofessional they were criminally negligent, And comparing a group of armed police officers to one unarmed woman (who there is no evidence was pregnant) simply doesn't work.

I agree. If one takes a job of public trust, but not just of public trust, one where your duty is protect and serve, and you do what he did, to me, that is no different than a doctor that kills you, not in an "assisted suicide" or "DNR" when they don't give you concent, but when you kill them because "I am a cop".  Chauvin was on a power trip.
