And yes, Chauvin was surrounded. How many times did they have to tell the crowd to "get back", to "get on the sidewalk"?

He was "told he had no pulse"?

I must have missed that part, was it before or after they called for the ambulance the first, then second time?

Have you ever tried to take someone's pulse during a medical emergency?

I have, multiple times. It's damn difficult to do. Many times what you're actually feeling is your own pulse instead of the patient's...
I see that we are not going to agree on what our lying eyes are telling us. Watch the video, read the autopsy reports, and draw your conclusions but leave me out of it.

I started this with an open mind, hoping the evidence presented at trial would lead to a just verdict. Countering your version of the "facts" is driving me to convict Chauvin before the trial has ended and that's not the way our justice system should work.
