A jury is supposed to be composed of the "peers" of the defendant. Peers for Chauvin are other police officers with similar experience. He didn't get a jury of his peers. It was a jury tilted in favor of the state including rabidly anti-police members who LIED in the jury selection process.

That's not how it works and not what a "jury of peers," means. By your logic every 19 year old gang banger on trial for dealing crack would be entitled to a jury of other 19 year old gang bangers.
