Chauvin was in that burn out stage that happens at every job. Where you stop giving a shit and it all becomes a blur.
A cop should care about people. Their job is to protect people. I know it's hard dealing with bullshit day in and day out and they're probably forced to listen to lies all day long from real bad dudes, but if they're at the point where they lose their humanity, it's time to go. Honestly, we should put term limits on cops. Like a person can only be a cop for 10 years. After that, you gotta go. They should also be REQUIRED to undergo psych evals once a year to check to see if they are "burnt out". There's no shame in it. It happens to everyone. This should also (specifically) apply to all DOC employees. Because that's where it's the worst. Prison guards are fucking awful. It's like, you have to lack empathy if you're a prison guard.
Is Chauvin guilty of Murder 3?
No.
Is he guilty of manslaughter?
I don't think so, but that's debatable. (this is the big one that's going to decide Chauvin's fate, though manslaughter sentencing is on average something like 4 years)
Is he guilty of excessive force?
Absolutely he is.
Should he be a cop?
Absolutely not. He should have been gone a long time ago. These dudes want their pensions and retirement when they're performing a civic duty. They should be cops because they want to help their community and help people. Not to get paid. You have to be paid to live, I get that, but if a guy goes into LE wanting those checks, they shouldn't be cops. First and foremost, they should want to protect the people. Serve the community. Give back.
Floyd was a dead man the moment he lined all that fent. This is his MO. He's done this exact same thing before. He took a shit ton of fent as he was being arrested, he fights, he screams, he begs for his 'mama', he yells about not being able to breafe, he can't sit in the cop car, he resists arrest, and he OD's. Last time, he got taken to the ER, was kept alive, and was SPECIFICALLY TOLD that if he kept this bullshit up, he was going to die and he should be dead. The judge saw his OD/hospitalization and went easy on him. This is how Floyd dodges responsibility and prison time. This is his pity card. It didn't work this time. He rolled the dice and he lost the bet. This is the game you play with the most powerful opiate in the world. Shit will kill you. And when you mix meth, you don't even know you're fucking dying. Meth speeds your mind and heart rate up. It does nothing to combat your raspatory system from shutting down.
I agree with you.

Yup...exactly.
