1 Did he get railroaded? Undoubtedly. Did he contribute to Floyd's death by not following PD procedures after he was warned by fellow officers that Floyd was in danger of croaking? Ditto.

Murder? no. Negligent manslaughter - mebbe so.

2 Reasonable doubt should have been enough to prevent Chauvin's conviction. All the defense should have had to say was that Floyd had enough fentanyl in his system to kill three men. End of story.

I'll never forgive the likes of Gayle King on CBS showing that two or three second video of Floyd with Chauvin restraining him as if that was all there was to it. There was much, much more but she wasn't interested. She wanted riots and she got them. That racist, commie bitch wanted the white cop to go to jail and she got it.

Chauvin's conviction was one of the most egregious miscarriages of justice you will ever see.

3 His conviction by a jury that was certain that anything but guilty would be personally very dangerous was a foregone conclusion. It not clear if his prolonged restrain was in violation of established PD procedures, but murder was a ridiculous over-charge by a DA equally concerned about public and personal safety and his own career.

The chilling effect this case had on police rank-and-file nationwide can never be defined, but it was significant.
