Did The Onlookers / Crowd Distract Chauvin?

Hm. That's a kind of interesting defense--apparently it's going to be one line of argument.

Honestly, one of the first thoughts I had after I could think clearly about the video was, roughly: Was Chauvin annoyed at the kibitzing by the crowd? Was he intentionally ignoring their admonitions because he was being contrarian? (Maybe I'm reading myself into the situation...)

   Anyway: distraction: maybe a valid defense. Cantankerousness: not so much.
