The three cops who were with Derek Chauvin are currently on trail.
Their fates are much less cut and dry. Lane in particular probably has a real chance at getting off.
1:It was his first day in the field.
2: Chauvin was Lane's Field Training Officer (FTO)
3: Lane asked twice if they should shift position and
4: Expressed concern that Floyd might have trouble breathing
5: Checked for pulse
6: Lane called for the ambulance
7: Lane requested that the ambulance shift its response from standard to urgent
8: Lane did CPR on Floyd on the ambulance
#2 is the big one for me. I have worked with Law Enforcement. New cops have to work under the wing of an FTO for at least a few weeks. The culture is that the FTO treats the noob like crap for the first week or two, and the noob had better not contradict the FTO on anything. The FTO gets to play drill Sergeant and they love it. The FTO is typically on a HUUUGE power trip and the noob is expected to meekly go along with it.
Had Floyd survived, Chauvin would certainly have ripped Lane a new one for making even the slightest suggestion contrary to what Chauvin was doing - and the force likely would have supported that. This, especially because Lane made these comments in front of a hostile crowd. Lane would have been blackballed on the force from day 1.
Lane's first day on the job and his boss outright murders a man right in front of him. He broke culture in challenging that, even if his protests were weak and wishy washy.
Attorneys for 3 cops in Floyd killing question training
I don't have any sympathy for the other two, but it looks like the Department is throwing Lane under the bus by refusing to acknowledge the dynamics of the FTO/Trainee relationship.
