“The Stalinazi race-baiting media would’ve gone after any White cop/Black perp altercation as soon as it happened to keep the hate going.”
Absolutely correct. Which is why Chauvin would have had a better chance not to end up in jail if he had let Fentanyl Floyd calm down for 2 minutes, put him in the car (he had 4 or 5 fellow officers to assist, it was doable) and taken him to the police station. He made lousy decisions instead and became the spark for a lot of unrest. Whether he actually killed Floyd or not didn’t matter at that point, because it LOOKED like he did and gave massive amounts of fuel to the narrative.
But it does matter if he did or didn’t kill Floyd. That’s the whole crux of the matter. He didn’t. It should scare the hell out of everyone that Chauvin was convicted of a crime he didn’t commit.
