He's in prison because there was an uprising. They were prepared to let him walk. That's the default when a cop kills someone. That's what happened in Chauvin's previous brutality cases. The judiciary was corrupt in the way that all of them are, because the footsoldiers of the law aren't subject to that law.
Chauvin had a history of violent behavior, George Floyd wasn't even the first person whose neck he'd kneeled on. None of the incidents resulted in any real punishment.
Chauvin was not arrested until May 29. Protesters burned down the Minneapolis third police precinct on May 28.
