The argument against him is that he should have stepped in and done something. I don't know that we will know the exact circumstances under which he was faced with the decision and I cannot judge the man whether he should or should not have done something.

At some point I chalk it up to fate and sometimes you're in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I'd like to think that if I were in the same situation I would have made the right choice, but I truly cannot say that I would have.

In the end he is still alive, albeit in prison, but it is better than the fate left to George Floyd.

Why they didn’t use their handcuffs just never made any sense to me. Secure his hands and feet. That being said, everyone had a role and their training is to work together to secure the scene. This officers fate had to be a difficult decision for the judge. I believe most of us have been in situations where we wish we had a do over. I was behind a car accident on route 80 where one of the cars had flipped over and was on fire. There was a crowd watching a guy halfway out of the car window unconscious. A woman and I approached the car and dragged him to safety. By all accounts that was a really bad thing to do. I left the scene before emergency personnel got their because what I did was wrong even though I thought at that moment we had no choice. I made a split second decision based on little training. The difference between right and wrong Is often a personal decision in real time. Police and emergency personnel are trained to follow protocol. Dammed if you do and dammed if you don’t.
