Obscene amount of money for someone whose salary is probably around $60,000 a year. Excessive bail must be abolished. Though if I were Chauvin, I wouldn't want to pay it anyway; I'd stay away from the protesters in the safety of my jail cell.
I am with you, but it is pretty poetic for someone who abused their role in the justice system now getting a taste of the dark realities within it.
I generally agree with lower (or no) cash bails, but I dont think this is the case for it. If the bail were small in this case, there are enough 'cops are heroes' people that would organize a gofundme page to pay it. Also, the police union may pay it if their laws allow. And I see a high flight risk in this case.
