Derek Chauvin was convicted of murdering George Floyd, which was a decade after the George Zimmerman/Treyvon Martin case.

I wouldn't put the chance of a conviction here at 100%, but it's certainly well above 0%.

? the chauvin case wasn't the same at all. he choked flyod needlessly for 10 minutes. completely unnecessary and good that chauvin was convicted. I follow these cases since I'm part of a police justice group - I've never seen a case similar to what happened here where the officer was convicted. there's just too much precedent that if a car is going towards you the officer is justified in shooting

if you have an example of a similar situation where the cop is convicted I am very very interested.
