“The secret to dog justice? Anything not worth dying over is forgotten at once.”
As came out in trial testimony, Derek Chavin not only did nothing wrong, everything he did was exactly as he had been trained to do. A well-trained officer took charge of an impossible situation and made the best that could be made of it. His actions should have been commended and praised, instead of his having been betrayed by the people who managed and trained him.
Andrew Branca at Legal Insurrection is very worth reading, but perhaps his best argument is that – by impeding the police, delaying the ambulance and forcing the ambulance to flee the scene instead of administering care on site – the crowd itself was the efficient cause of Floyd’s death.
This trial is a lynching – a nearly-universal one, a palliative public sacrifice, a story you will have heard before – the inevitable consequence of the “systemic” failure to uphold the Rule of Law all along. Had George Floyd received all the “justice” he had earned, over the years, he might still be alive. Had the state not made war on fatherhood, he might have grown up to be an honorable man.
Instead, Chauvin faces prison for doing everything right – and every Grasshopper city will go up in flames.
We are children, and we are living in The Lord of the Flies…
