No. But he should not have used his leg for so long when Floyd was on his stomach on the ground in cuffs, with other officers at the ready.
And I'll bet Chauvin wishes to heck he hadn't.
Sounds like you have never had to maintain control over a 6 foot 7 NBA sized human-beast whacked out of it’s mind on dope. And you haven’t even known anyone killed by someone wearing handcuffs.
Lucky you.
What your position makes Chavin wish for is that he stopped for a donut and never arrived. Or that he saw him and gave him a verbal warning. etc.
Enough people think like you and guys like St. Floyd will be running the streets, and cops will be turning away from enforcement.
You will be astonished at what happens when cops driving down the street stop “seeing things” and start only responding to calls and doing so in the most perfunctory manner possible.
