Chauvin is pretty much just a POS who has no business being a cop but I felt like criminal negligence was the appropriate charge. I would have given him 5 years max.

For what? What did Chauvin do that you think he needs 5 years in prison?

I think I said criminal negligence but since you didn’t absorb it the first time around let me repeat. Criminal negligence: A defendant who acts in disregard of A serious risk of harm that a reasonable person in the same situation would have perceived. Average sentence 1-3.75 years. I said 5 years max. I would have been fine with the minimum.

Lets face it everyone including me watched the videos of the event ad nauseum. A reasonable person which includes me and apparently a couple of LEOs on scene who questioned Chauvin’s continued kneeling on Floyd’s neck concluded he was at risk of harm.

It wasn’t murder but it wasn’t OK and Chauvinism was deliberately being an ahole. 21 years is insane and I hope he gets a new trial and gets off with time served but he deserved some punishment IMO. I realize you disagree.
