he'll invite Floyd's family to the WH -

then spring the big surprise that Chauvin and the other 3 cops are in the next room waiting for them, so they can have a "kiss and make up" photo op.

"I understand the hurt. I understand the pain. People have really been through it."

He depersonalizes it by saying "People" have been through it. Name the people. "The family of George Floyd... the cousins who thought of him as a brother..." He's so detached from everything. Also, what is the "it" people have been through? Name it!

He just doesn't feel the pain of other people, he's never felt it, so he's incapable of even faking it.

He understands nothing and he doesn't care about the man who was killed or his family. He is just trying to cover his own fat ass.
