If you watch all four videos, the first beat down occurred at the point of the stop. The second beat down occurred after a chase and involved the baton, kicks and punches while the perp was on the ground. There was also gross negligence on the part of all of the cops after the second beat down as they failed to properly monitor the perp’s condition - he was in custody. The EMT didn’t show up for around 25 minutes after the second beat down.
I would vote to convict those of the first beat down with second degree and those of the second beat down with first degree. One of the cops at the first beat down said that the perp should get a beating.
Look how they tried to make it look like Darren Chauvin deliberately went out that day to murder George Floyd. The press pushed the idea, along with 1st Degree Murder. They ran the line that they both knew each other from working security in overlapping shifts at El Nuevo Rodeo club, and perhaps had a run-in.
