Chauvin defense raises more reasonable doubt with state witnesses

Chauvin deserves hard time for many years ....... and the law enforcement agency should replace all of the leadership.

PLUS shake down the budget so that significant dollars are supporting new staff that has the capability of "talking down situations" ............. absolutely murder is not allowed.

British cops could teach yours a thing or two-especially regarding de-escalation...

In America the machete guy would have been dead within minutes of cops arriving on the scene.

Chauvin screwed up by not accepting a deal. His case is unraveling faster than a roll of toilet paper being swatted at by a cat.
 
Solid day for defense with forensics expert

Anadotal evidence that doesn't always coinside with real world situations.

A video isn't anecdotal evidence. It's clear proof that you don't need to blast away to achieve a positive result. In the video nobody died. If that was the US the guy would be long dead.

I'm sure there are millions of incidents where cops in the US de-escalated a tense situation without firing a gun.

One example doesn't universally define every situation for police encounters. Which is why it makes it anecdotal evidence. In fact, they didn't de-escalate the situation. They surrounded him with riot shields until they have him cornered and could disarm him. That's not de-escalation. Each officer has to decide if the risk is worth their own personal safety and safety of civilians in the area. In which great bodily harm or death could be possible. All police shootings are investigated to see if it was justifiable or not and go from there.

Yes, that's called de-escalation-or should the cops have allowed him to go on a machete wielding rampage, because that's the only alternative scenario. In America the cops would have shot him dead. Yeah, we know all about the police investigating themselves.

Using force to neutralize the situation is not de-escalation.

Now you're moving on to conspiracy theories.

It is if an unnecessary death is avoided, which is what happened in the scenario I presented. And that's the whole point. Is it so hard to understand?

So if the perp or police officer was killed because of the use of force to stop him, would that then be considered an escalation of the situation?
