I didn’t see the asian officer even getting what I’d call excited dealing with the crowd. Tells me they weren’t hostile.
2/3 of the officers had been on the job for less than a week. One of the officers was on his fourth day and the Asian officer was on only his third shift.
The crowd was absolutely hostile as they were yelling at Chauvin to get up, let him up, etc. Their was a guy pacing back and forth that looked like he might get physical.
Not excusing Chauvin but I would think this would complicate things.
