he'd be a fool to testify and i would be shocked if it happened. but i fantasize about it. i really do. it would be so good to put the pictures up with him kneeling on Floyd with all his weight and not a scintilla of concern in his face, and then see him say he was afraid of the crowd and afraid of the dying man he was killing and that's why he did it.

the more i watch and see, the more convinced i am that chauvin wanted nothing more than to kill floyd, and if truth could be told, he's glad he did.
