It depends on whether he gets bond pending his appeal. In 2 years
nobody will remember who George Floyd was.

Emmett Till was lynched in 1955 and lots of people still remember his
name.
(And the final days of his life.)


When Congress passes the George Floyd police reform bill, that will take
care of that.
More likely that Chauvin will be forgotten.
I seem to recall that Greg predicted that Chauvin wouldn't be convicted,
but I could be
wrong.

Unfortunately, that would have been the safe prediction. Cops usually get
away with their on-duty murders in this country.


The difference here is video and 9 1/2 minutes. Given the time and number
of police around to help, you can easily make the argument this was the
wrong way to subdue him.

And it made no sense to drag him out of the cruiser to do that.
