When a police officer goes to work he places his life in danger. It comes with the job.
But when we say his life is in danger it may have nothing to do with his physical life as such.
It also has to do with his life that he has as a person.
His family, his reputation, his freedom.
Chauvin just lost his life. He is alive all right so far he is breathing, but his freedom is gone, his wife has hauled ass, he cannot go to the store play baseball with his friends, go golfing . He has his life, but he lost his life.
He lost his life dealing with a human piece of sht. that wasn't worth the effort to hold him down.
His life is over, unless he wins on appeal. He was doing his job. Maybe he was a bit over zealous, they should fire him, but does he deserve to be in jail for years over doing his job over zealously? For holding down a fool who swallowed enough Fentanyl to kill a horse. Better had he just let that fool lay there and die. Although if he had done that he would also be charged with not doing his job. There is no winning when you have a race of people who hate the police, hate white people, hate their own people and a media and politicians who willingly send this man to jail so they can make points with the donuffins, and get their vote.
I won't even mention the Police Chief who testified against him. Every Minneapolis cop should quit.
