There is no outrage from police officers around the nation at Chauvin's conviction, during the trial his Captain spoke out against Chauvin as well as a former sergeant and lieutenant, his fellow police officers weren't out in support of Chauvin, police unions around the nation didn't speak up for Chauvin.  Yet many republican media and pundits and voters are outraged by the Chauvin conviction.  Why?  Again, I think republicans see black American political power as a loss of power for themselves, as a threat and this is what's driving this outrage amongst republicans.  Again, the police are not outraged by this conviction.</p></blockquote><p></p>
