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.
He never got in the cruiser.
He was in fact forced to get in it.
If he had they would have slammed the door and drove away.
Not when Chauvin wanted to make an example of him in front of the audience.
He was fighting them in the door saying he wasn't going to get in.
But he was forced in anyway.
He was claustrophobic but not too claustrophobic
to get in a car with his drug dealer.
Yep, it was always a stunt/lie on his part.
