thomas lane, one of the accused, was a rookie. even though he was a rookie, he spoke up three times to Chauvin, a twenty year veteran, to try to get him to stop doing what he was doing. the above thread lays out that evidence. i think if he is found not-guilty it should not be a surprise, and people should find reassurance in our system. and frankly, charging the man that spoke up in addition to the other men that didn't seems to be sending the wrong message
had Lane built up the gumption to actually physically stop what Chauvin was doing, perhaps Floyd would be alive today. but would you, in your first months on a job, ever do that? it has to be agonizing for Lane, for he clearly knew what was happening was wrong and now he must blame himself for not doing enough, not having the balls to stand up to a superior

If you think the cops are the good guys and it's only a few isolated bad apples, I suggest you browse this Twitter thread for a few minutes. Just f**k sad.
