"Many witnesses to the murder of George Floyd wish that they had somehow intervened to save his life. Now that we see what happens when we don't, here's a path forward."
Interesting take here.
Another suggestion: Tell Chauvin's partner that you and several others in the crown are making a citizens arrest against the officers. Warn him that if he interferes, he will also be arrested for attempted murder. Then, ask the crowd if anyone has a gun and ask to borrow it so that you have that 'authority.'
In a country that operated on actual principles of justice, a person could have tackled Chauvin off of Floyd, and have a jury exonerate them. Problem is, as others have pointed out, they would have likely been shot.
