Chauvin had his entire life annihilated and was charged with multiple counts of manslaughter and murder, and that clearly did not affect the degree of outrage. Charges were laid in the Rayshard Brooks incident, that didn't seem to make a lot of difference in the response.

Honestly, at this point, if this guy got charged with murder, and the next guy and the next guy, would that really make a difference in the response by outraged people? It really does seem, to me, like the outrage in the aftermath of events like this one is directed at "this happened again", more than "this happened again and nothing will be done about it". But the only way to know for sure, I guess, is for something to be done about it consistently, and then we'll see if the riots continue to happen.

Really feels like the summary of this is: “but where does it stop!?”

It stops when that’s the norm.
