When I first wrote about police abuses, back in June, I wrote the following:
If one watches the video one can see [Derek Chauvin] is calm, even happy, as he murders George Floyd: he has done this before, or at least rehearsed it. – link
And so he has. The good people at the [Thurgood] Marshall Project have found six cases where Chauvin choked people during his tenure with the Minneapolis Police Department. Chauvin apparently has an obsession with choking people.
The judge in the case is allowing admission of only one of these cases into evidence in Chauvin's trial, the one most favorable to Chauvin.
Why isn't previous history relevant?
