To believe Chauvin is guilty of murder, you have to believe this.

That a police officer knowingly murdered a person in broad daylight on a public street while numerous people were witnessing and filming him.
Kind of far fetched.
Kind of far fetched.

First, I think the trial was a clownshow and Chauvin should have been found guilty of manslaughter, at worst.
However, it's not far-fetched to think a cop would knowingly murder someone with witnesses filming it.
Tell me if you need a link for a few examples.

He was charged with 2nd degree unintentional murder so actually you’re wrong
quote:
The second-degree unintentional murder charge alleges Chauvin caused Floyd's death "without intent" while committing or attempting to commit felony third-degree assault. In turn, third-degree assault is defined as the intentional infliction of substantial bodily harm.

Auntie Maxine wanted 1st Degree, pre-meditated version. Let that sink in.

Because his ideology requires him to hold that belief, no amount of objectively-correct information will ever cause most such persons to revise their viewpoints.

In truth, not ONE of the three crimes with which Officer Chauvin was charged requires the level of mens rea that the OP describes.
WHAT'S SECOND-DEGREE UNINTENTIONAL MURDER?
It's also called felony murder. To prove this count, prosecutors had to show that Chauvin killed Floyd while committing or trying to commit a felony — in this case, third-degree assault. They didn't have to prove Chauvin intended to kill Floyd, only that he intended to apply unlawful force that caused bodily harm.
WHAT ABOUT THIRD-DEGREE MURDER?
For this count, jurors must find Chauvin caused Floyd's death through an action that was “eminently dangerous” and carried out with a reckless disregard for and conscious indifference to the loss of life.
SECOND-DEGREE MANSLAUGHTER?
Prosecutors had to show that Chauvin caused Floyd's death through culpable negligence that created an unreasonable risk, and that he consciously took the chance of causing severe injury or death.

None of the charges required specific intent.
