Basically, Floyd died for passing a fake $20.
Chauvin deserves prison.
My problem with this from the beginning was taking Floyd out of the car after they already had him in there. Turns out, they had no choice but to pull him out of the car because he was banging his head against the divider so hard he was bleeding. You say they weren't checking on him but from what I read of the testimony Chauvin was doing that. I've changed my mind on this, I no longer think Chauvin deserves prison time.
Don't be afraid to see what you see
