Then why is Chauven being jailed. He kneeled on Floyd. Should be under color of law.
Its also a 42 USC 1983 offense - violation of civil rights under the color of law/authority.
There was zero justification for the use of deadly force. There was no deadly or substantial threat, and Byrd admits he was confused, couldn’t see, and didn’t even know who or what he was shooting at. At an absolute MINIMUM it was GROSS NEGLIGENCE, but since the photo evidence shows he had an itchy trigger finger, he was intending on shooting someone, anyone. He was terrified. He is not, and was not, good LEO material
