1. A bad mistake. Where does that take them: the crowd made Chauvin do it?

2. Wouldn't a 'hostile' crowd have been

the best reason to get George Floyd into the police car ASAP and remove him and the officers at the scene in the scenario that the defense is trying to lay out? I would think that people would generally be hostile to anyone who is killing another human being in broad daylight and can't understand the defense's argument.
