Agree with Derek chauvin verdict?

I am against police defunding and against Police brutality. I have the highest respect for the good cops out there. When you are in trouble who do you call? The police. They deserve and need support from the public.

I feel like overall police do get carried away and there are a lot of egos out there. I do believe something needs to change with how the police operates and are trained.

What Derek Chauvin did was absolutely wrong. Floyd had drugs in his system and health issues that may have contributed in his own death but ultimately Derek’s show of force is what killed him. It was wrong and he deserves punishment. He makes good cops look bad.

Just curious what others think of the verdict? I feel like the three counts was a little severe

Justice was served. He was in cuffs and no longer a threat. But I don't quite get the three charges though. They all fed in to the charge with the greatest penalty. I'm actually in favor of defunding because it's about moving resources to help take loads that cops aren't trained for off their plate. I think better policing will be the result. What I'm having a really hard time with is the "All cops bad" position. It's emotional, not close to accurate, and typically spewed by sheltered white kids from behind a computer screen. No ones wins with that.
