[ExI] chauvin

[William Flynn Wallace]

Justice was served, no doubt.

I have been reading and looking at the pictures and a thought occurred to
me:  Chauvin looks like a person very determined to do what he sets out to
do.

Consider the situation:  he is surrounded by fellow officers and some
bystanders, one (or more?) of whom in taping.  I just have to wonder if
that made him so resistant to the remarks of the fellow officers (whose
content I do not know) that he wasn't going to let up even when Floyd
started having seizures.  Just made him more determined.  I wonder what
would have happened had there been no bystanders other than the other
officers.

Then I wondered what made him stop?  I did not find anything to tell me
that.  Does anyone know?

I did not know about the seizures before.  It makes it even more curious
that the fellow officers did not do something.  There are sorts of social
psych things going on in that scenario and I certainly do not know what
some of them are.  But I do think that social influences occurred there,
affecting Chauvin and the other officers.  Perhaps those will come out at
the next trial.
