    Well, of course, this possibility jumped straight to mind when it was revealed that they knew each other, and worked together. Any proof of friction between them, and I would think that would not go well for Chauvin in court.

    It would be interesting to know more about the video, or videos. Why is the whole-entire incident not shown, from beginning to end? And what exactly was going on in the car? And how did he go from the car to on the ground exactly? Maybe i just havent seen the whole video, I dunno.

    But if there’s ‘gaps’, the cop is going to argue Floyd was ‘resisting’ of course.

    And did the cop know he was on camera? Who had the camera?

    Third degree is a slam-dunk, but the battle will be over what exactly was in this cops mind. Oh, and good luck picking a Jury. Who is going to be open-minded on this thing.

    So far there are 2 vids. Neither covers the whole thing. One is an onlooker filming the act of killing Floyd. The other is a security cam showing the first portion of the arrest still on the sidewalk before they moved. There is no continuous vid of the entire episode.

    Maybe there should be a law that sez, No-Body-Cam, No Arrest. Ya know.
    Take the money the police use on tanks and bazookas and shit,
    and invest in body-cams, and make it a requirement for an arrest — everything has to be on camera or its an invalid arrest.

    OR, at least it would be a good discipline level. If a cop has complaints against him but they are not big-complaints, he has to wear a body-cam. Like a form of probation. Just a thot.

    How about the cops just take a knee for a few minutes, and promise that they will be more careful in the future?

    i’m not a legal expert. but if they had a prior history. and there are witnesses to corroborate this. could the prosecutors make a case for first degree?

    well. i guess they would have if they had this information already and thought they had a case. so i guess not?
