That chief was absolutely trying to throw Chauvin under the bus. It was clear as day in the way he answered questions, and more importantly, in the difference of how he behaved depending on who was questioning him.
If the prosecution was questioning him, he'd had simple precise answers, didn't ask for repeats or clarifications, just made it as smooth as possible.
When the defense was questioning him all of a sudden he became hard of hearing and asked for clarification on simple questions, tried to turn simple yes or no questions into speeches, and even fucking fought the defense to let him introduce some of his own assertions, to questions that weren't even fucking asked. He treated it like he was a motherfucker on a mission to get in what he wanted to add in an attempt to taint the jury.
I can imagine Chauvin watching this testimony and just knowing that it was this chief's intention to throw him under the bus. And I bet many cops watching this saw just how easy it is to get railroaded doing your job just because some fucking crackhead decides he wants to overdose on your watch.
Police across the country have already been just keeping their head down. They don't want to do shit anymore and it's easy to see why, because doing their job puts them in the crosshairs. So they outright don't respond to calls, or arrive to a call and just sit in their cars down the street, or they intentionally take long enough to respond, knowing that by the time they get there all they will have to do is take a report because the criminals got away or intentionally arrive to the wrong address and report there's nothing going on.
I know a lot of cops are staying silent on this one, but they need to realize that if they don't stand up, any one of them could be the next target of the left and everyone will be silent for them too and they will just be swallowed up by the system they were part of, so that politicians can get woke points by burning them at the stake.
