      It barely did anything to Derek Chauvin. What got him convicted was the mass riots and the fact he knew George Floyd beforehand.

      So many other people have been killed on camera by cops and those same cops are free and still working in law enforcement.

        The Chauvin case reminded me of whenever a soldier gets tried over UCMJ or whatever it’s called. It doesn’t go to trial unless the person in question truly fucked up and throwing them in the chipper is a well-rehearsed defensive move for the institution.
