Not in this case, no.

If it were something more like the Michael Brown case, where the police said he attacked them and his team said it was a cold-blooded murder, then any evidence that he was someone who might attack an officer would be admissible.

In this case, the police don't even have an alibi and there is no ambiguity about what happened.  There is no conceivable situation where putting your knee on a suspect's neck until he suffocates to death is an appropriate police action, unlike the more ambiguous cases where an officer claims to have fired his weapon in self-defense.  And we have video footage proving that Chauvin was using excessive force for absolutely no good reason.
