Hmm it is true he was absurdly overcharged. That said, l think “he did nothing wrong” is off the mark too.

What did he do wrong? He protected the public by restrained a crazy, drug-fueled animal.

I think you are correct. That restraint technique is approved and was taught by the PD. But after a short period of time when the perp is subdued, you’re supposed to sit them up in a “relief” position. I think Chauvin’s mistake was that he didn’t do that.

Chauvin doing his job was/is not wrong.

He should have been in bed with the flu that day.

He did NOTHING wrong.
