When asked whether Leight believes cops are portrayed"too positively" on TV, he said,"Collectively? Yes. Individually, am I miscontributing to society? I don't know. Collectively, are we? Yeah."
Leight's interview comes while the country continues to protest over the death of Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man who died while a white police officer kneeled on his neck for nearly 9 minutes in Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 25. Chauvin now faces a second-degree murder charge and the three cops with him -- Tou Thao, J. Alexander Kueng and Thomas Kieran Lane -- have been charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder as well as aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter. All four disgraced police officers face up to 40 years behind bars.
