But I don't think he's a sociopath. I think he just got to that "I don't give a shit" phase at his job. We all know that phase. Where you just don't care anymore. It's all the same bullshit day in and day out. You begin to resent it and you start being passive aggressive with it because you need the job, but you hate dealing with shit. This is especially prevalent if you've ever worked in a customer service field. You get burnt out. You stop listening to people, you stop caring about what's happening, you stop having empathy. People aren't people, they're just idiotic, whiney cunts that don't listen, lie, and cause you problems.
That's the stage Chauvin was in and it's unacceptable that cops are allowed to get to that point. I can understand how they do since they have to deal with dudes that lie to them and treat them like shit all day, but if they're burnt out, they can't be cops anymore. We need to have a term limit on cops. 10 years. Max. At 10 years, you need to retire. They also need annual psych evals that determine if they're burnt out or not. If they are, they need to be dismissed or put on desk duty until they hit that 10 year point. They shouldn't be beat cops, detectives, investigators or anything like that.
I honestly don't think the murder charges are going to stick. I don't. Manslaughter? MAYBE. But there's a strong case against that. This is the real big one because if he gets convicted of this, we as a society have a HUGE problem because mob rule will reign supreme. Excessive Force? Yup. Absolutely. Chauvin isn't a murderer. But he shouldn't have been a cop. It's clear he's burnt out and that his burn out led to him getting in this mess.
I don't really like the judge in the case either. He has a habit of siding with the Prosecution when he shouldn't. This trial should honestly be postponed, the venue changed, or a mistrial after the fucking bullshit lawsuit settlement. There's NO WAY he can get a fair trial after the settlement. But the Judge pretty much said "Yeah, it sucks. But we're moving forward." Like, what the fuck? Can he not see how this is going to taint the entire jury pool? Can he not see how keeping this shit in the city makes it so he doesn't get a fair trial? The Prosecution is trying to block the jury from hearing about Floyd's past and previous arrest where he did the exact same thing. They're trying to keep anything about Floyd out because it looks REAL BAD. I don't know if the Judge has ruled on that, but if he denies information about Floyd's previous arrests to be heard, you'll know this is all a fucking sham and justice is dead.
No matter what happens, this case is going to drag on for years, because shits going to be appealed no matter what.
He absolutely would have
