It's also a significant reason why cops get off so often, since prosecutors are usually on their same side and have to work with cops fairly regularly. Might not even be fully intentional, but slacking off just a bit gives plenty of room for a "not guilty" to squeeze in.
Even in this case I can see this headed toward manslaughter or even acquittal with "Chauvin's training failed him and George Floyd, not guilty of murder" which might even be somewhat true (to a certain extent), but then nothing happens after that to actually fix the issue.
