Why it s rare for police officers to be convicted of murder

As a Minnesota jury found former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin guilty of murder and manslaughter charges, law enforcement experts note how rare it is that police officers involved in high-profile, and sometimes deadly, on-duty incidents ever face criminal charges or are convicted. Experts point to several factors, which include laws that protect an officer s right to use force, advantages from powerful police unions, prosecutors who may face a conflict of interest, and even jury pools that tend to side with police. It s rare because the juries are very reluctant to second guess and judge the actions of on-duty police officers in violent street encounters, said Philip Matthew Stinson, a criminal justice professor at Bowling Green State University who spearheads a group that tracks data on police crimes.

Why Murder Convictions Are so Rare for Police

CHANDAN KHANNA/AFP via Getty Images Derek Chauvin s conviction for murdering George Floyd was a rare case of accountability for a police killing. Police kill around 1,000 people every year, but most cases do not result in criminal charges. Experts say that lasting change in police accountability is unlikely to come from the courtroom. Derek Chauvin s guilty verdict for the murder of George Floyd was met with relief. But it was also a rare case in which a police officer was punished for an unjustified killing. It remains extraordinarily unlikely for police officers to be criminally charged for killing members of the public, and even more so for them to be convicted of murder by a jury.

Too Rare : Derek Chauvin s Conviction Is Not The Norm For Cops Who Kill

Derek Chauvin was convicted of the murder of George Floyd last May. His conviction, though, has highlighted how rare police officers who kill are arrested, charged, or convicted. “Today’s verdict is a step forward,” President Joe Bidensaid in his remarks following the announcement of Chauvin’s guilty verdict. “Let’s also be clear that such a verdict is also much too rare,” Biden said. He added that, “For so many people, it seems like it took a unique and extraordinary convergence of factors,” to get Chauvin’s conviction, and he isn’t wrong. The Washington Post, police officers in the US kill about 1,000 people each year. When officers are charged in cases, less than half of them are convicted, and if they are, it’s with lesser charges. Researchers at Bowling Green State University found that between 2005 and June 2019, only 104 non-federal law enforcement officers were arrested on manslaughter or murder charges. Only 35 of those arrests were convicte
