I think that the policeman will be freed and a not guilty verdict will be issued,
He was acting under extreme pressure,His training in such situation was an automatic reaction,so a verdict of not guilty will be correct.
He was clearly guilty. We have all seen it. He should be better prepared than most people, with his job and training...
Assuming you aren't qualified, Jordy (I don't know), what do you personally think would happen, if you put your full weight on someone's neck for 8 minutes? It's not rocket science.
If he is, I fear for everyone's safety. You think these riots are bad? There will be complete carnage if that happens. Especially if it's an all-white jury.
I could buy that if Floyd's death had occurred very quickly. But there was a point where one of the officers even asked something about maybe relaxing the knee-on-the-neck hold now that he was restrained and Chauvin didn't budge. At some point training should be overcome by basic human decency.
