>> At any rate, why didn't Chauvin stop the choking and render aid as was his duty?

Well, I agree that would have been the correct thing to do. Any decent individual, IMO, would have. There is no question I believe what Chauvin did was wrong. The same thing happened on a Dallas street corner a while back:

The cop perhaps should lose his job for being insensitive or uncaring. I don't disagree about any of that. As I maintained early on, the cop was in the wrong.

But we don't convict a cop or anyone else of a killing unless they actually killed someone. That's just now criminal justice works. Someone has to prove, not based on innuendo, that the cop killed a man wrongfully.

That has not been proved, it may be yet. But as of today, it hasn't.

Because he never started choking him. The windpipe is on the front of the neck. Chauvin's knee was on the back of his neck.

Terry posted good photo proof that the knee was nowhere near the windpipe:
