Aaaanywho, the notion that chauvin is guilty of murder in the second and his victim was a bad, bad man.....well, it doesn't change chauvins guilt. Bad people get murdered too. It doesn't change law enforcement culpability. Arguably, the least and most exposed of us need the protection of law more than you or I, and especially so whenever they happen to find themselves under the thumb of a cop. Particularly since they can't count on John Q Public standing up for them in the moment or any moment after- as IA has shown in this thread, and as every onlooker who watched while he died show in reality. That there was no help coming and ever any doubt of a conviction (and there was, regardless of the murderer murdering on video - as another poster pointed out) is a greater travesty than the murder itself, as that apathy, antipathy, fear, and complacency will inevitably lead to another incident, another victim. Derek Chauvin killed one man in this instance, our society produces and supports an army of occupation staffed by murderers, then defends them when they murder.
