Derek chauvin sentencing
Tomorrow, Friday June 16th, ex-police officer Derek Chauvin will be sentenced for the crime of 2nd degree murder, 3rd degree murder, and manslaughter, of George Floyd.The judge, who will pass sentence, has a wide latitude in exactly how long the sentence will be. Certainly he will have to consider the aggravating circumstances.
I expect, and hope, that Chauvin will be given the maximum sentence of 40 years in prison.
Currently, Chauvin is being housed in Minnesota's only maximum security prison. It is most likely that if he were ever in "general population" he would be murdered by other prisoners.

As we look at the face of Chauvin , while he was kneeling on George Floyd's neck, he seems to be as cold-bloodedly calm as if he was only stepping on a bug.

and was arrogant enough to believe he’d get away with it.

Since the murder of George Floyd, numerous states have banned the use of any type of choke-hold or pressure on the neck.Additionally, the number of cops being charged has increased. It is going to take a very, very long time to change the mentality of cops in America.

And I still can't understand why his colleagues didn't intervene!Although, there are concepts in psychology which go some way to explaining such irrational behaviour, e.g. conformity, diffused responsibility, etc..
But still, I'd hate to think that I could just stand there and watch something like that happening without intervening.

In my opinion, those colleagues did not intervene for the simple reason that police in America think exactly like the Nazi SS of WW2. ie; they are "true believers" and have no moral compunctions.
Nary a week goes by when we do not hear/see of some American cop who has murdered or physically abused some poor soul. ie: like the cop who kicked a surrendering suspect in the head 3 times while that suspect was spread eagled on the ground with his arms spread wide.
