I’m not going to argue about bad cops. There are bad eggs in every group. Some more than others.
Pointing to bad behavior by others does not address the behavior of one bad perp and possibly one over zealous cop but frankly I didn’t see any kind of overreach in Chauvin’s behavior. What I saw was him applying the exact techniques he was trained to. Putting someone in jail for doing exactly what they were supposed to do is wrong on every level.
I’m not sticking up for Chauvin as a person. I don’t know him or his heart and mind. I only know what everyone knows by the video and photos we’ve seen. Chauvin is innocent of the crimes he was been charged with, found guilty of, and sentenced for. We know our justice system is a joke now and that concerns me far more than some dead druggie.
Once again I will state the obvious. None of this would happened if the perp had simply cooperated and not resisted so violently.
The problem with the “bad eggs” in the group known as police is that they KILL PEOPLE.
Doesn’t matter if the perp is “bad”, Floyd isn’t accused of doing anything that carries the death penalty.
Chauvin sat on a man and didn’t give a crap while he died. Chauvin is a murderer. Plain and simple.
Once again I will state the obvious: none of this would happen if the cops actually policed themselves. In the examples I gave you EVERY ONE OF THEM was cooperative. And they ALL DIED. So you’re wrong.
We wouldn’t be having this discussion if Chauvin was black and Saint George was white, because there would have been no trial and no riots.
