I am under no illusion that this guy was some kind of saint, but...his behavior didn't matter. His previous record didn't matter. Once he stopped talking and moving, the situation changed, and the FOUR police officers should have de-escalated and checked him out. My prediction is that Chauvin will end up getting a few years in prison for criminally negligent homicide or assault, the two officers on his back and legs will get light jail sentences (> 1 year) for assault or criminal negligence, and the fourth guy just standing there will get nothing.
