As the Derek Chauvin trial continues, many are talking about the “blue wall of silence.” The phrase refers to police officers receiving protection from fellow officers when they are accused of wrongdoing, but in this instance, the wall may be crumbling. Many of Chauvin’s colleagues have condemned his actions in Floyd’s death and some have even taken the stand against him. Fourteen officers also wrote an open letter last year saying Chauvin “failed as a human and stripped George Floyd of his dignity and life.” The Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association’s legal defense fund is paying for Chauvin’s defense.
