Chauvin's "previous bad behavior" with John Pope had nothing to do with his murder conviction for killing George Floyd.
It was a separate federal charge and Chauvin was never criminally charged by the state for using excessive force on John Pope.
Pope did file a civil suit and last spring the city of Minneapolis (police force?) settled for about 9 million.
At that time the city also settled another Chauvin excessive force civil case with a young woman for a little over a million.
In total Chauvin cost Minneapolis 35 million in civil cases,Floyd, Pope and the woman.

Just doubled checked my claim that Chauvin was never disciplined for using "excessive force" on John Pope.
Chauvin was never disciplined for these incidents by the MPD, which had possession of the video evidence of his misconduct. Nor were any of the other involved officers disciplined. In 2017, John Pope was 14 years old when MPD was called to his house for a domestic disturbance.Apr 13, 2023

I missed the reporting where George had a name tag on him with "I can't breath" instructions from a prior arrest.
What George may have said or not said when previously arrested is totally irrelevant to the criminal circumstances that led to his death on May 25, 2020.
Hint:
When a suspect in your police custody says 28x that they can't breath and then has NO pulse you administer medical aid until the medics/ambulance arrives.
Conclusion/conviction
Derek Chauvin: "no" can do.
"Thao is serving his 3 1/2-year federal and 4 3/4-year state sentences concurrently"

Floyd's daughter has a biopic in the works called "Daddy Changed The World." Feedback I've seen about this has been widely variable, and mostly negative, as one might imagine.

I have read that the book does not paint GF without faults, but also shows the good side of him. I am interested in knowing him better, since we all know that he wasn't the "perfect" victim of police brutality and murder. I am glad this book is being written.

An aerial view shows a memorial area in honor of George Floyd on Thursday in Minneapolis.
Every morning, neighbors gather at the intersection of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue in South Minneapolis. A daily ritual of protest and healing.
“No one’s free until all free and before I be a slave, you’ll be buried in my grave,” Raycurt Johnson recited on a recent Wednesday, three days before the anniversary of George Floyd’s murder at this very corner.
Johnson was repeating the timeless lyrics of “Oh, Freedom,” a Negro spiritual closely associated with the enslavement of African people in the American South. “I’ll go home on my land, and I’ll be free.”
‘No Justice, No Streets’: 4 years after murder, George Floyd Square stands in protest
Healing is a common thread for the people who gather at George Floyd Square. Healing from the trauma of watching Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man be murdered at the hands of Minneapolis police on May 25, 2020.
