On the Fact that While the Neck Restraint that Officer Chauvin Used On George Floyd May Have Been an Authorized Technique, Maintaining it for Nine Minutes (Several of Which Mr. Floyd Was Unconscious) and at a Point Where the Dude Was Clearly Immobilized I Suspect Wasn't Part of the Training

 

Having said that, I still think that Chauvin was likely overcharged (negligent homicide, reckless endangerment, involuntary manslaughter - all being more appropriate AND easier to prove). I mean, I get it that people want this asshole to pay a heavy price but wouldn't it be better if the prosecution could nail his ass on one of these lesser charges which could lock him up for 5 to 7 years than have him walk away with zero punishment? I'm just askin'.
