Chauvin's lawyer is trying to argue that the Chief of Police doesn't know what he is talking about.

This is just ridiculous.

He first repeated his line that he has given to all the senior police officials "that it has been a long tine" since they were out on the street and actually arrested a person.

He is back to his laundry list of hypotheticals, none of which appeared to have occured here.

1. he is also making a lot of general "theoretical" situation that has nothing to do with this

specific case. The assumption is that the officer is fine to assume "he is in danger" and whatever force he used is justified.

2. how many Generals are out on the front lines?

...what an idiot....

3. They had to escalate to de-escalate.

4. Trying in vain to defend the indefensible.

5. He's merely truing to tell the jurors that African-Americans

don't know shit/ I'm shocked I tell you - what a circus.

6. The Chief is unflappable and the lawyer is looking like a fool.

At one point he flubbed a question and said something like "Sorry, it's been a long week." Hey . . . sport . . . it's Monday.
