Following the the guilty conviction of ex-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin — Favre said he found it hard to believe that Derek Chauvin meant to kill George Floyd.
“I find it hard to believe, and I’m not defending Derek Chauvin in any way — I find it hard to believe, first of all, that he intentionally meant to kill George Floyd,” Favre said.
“That being said, his actions were uncalled for,” he added. “I don’t care what color the person is on the street. I don’t know what led to that video that we saw where his knee is on his neck, but the man had thrown in the towel.”
