That is what this awful event is about...(In my mind)....If this cop were sure that there would be
any consequences....(like this trial)...he would have not killed him....He would have let him live

he was sure that he could get away with it....(that is my belief...as well..as a whole lot of others too)

Yes. They knew each other and had a prior "history." Has this come up in the trial? If not, why not?

My read: maybe he didn't set out to kill him, but the impulse took over during his "restraint."

You can't be in physical contact with a living being and not feel the moment it dies.

They need to look into the relationship the two men had at the club where they both worked.

Why? Chauvin had done this yanking out and public restraint before. It was his M.O.

My take is maybe that he didn't like the black bystanders telling him what to do..
