Chauvinism 

Committing murder in broad daylight.

Named for Derek Chauvin, former Minneapolis police officer who killed George Floyd on May 25, 2020.
Derek Chauvin, in a brazen act of Chauvinism, knelt on George Floyd's neck for nearly nine and a half minutes while Floyd struggled to live, repeatedly gasping I can't breathe, until he died. Chauvin did so in public, as Darnella Frazier, a seventeen-year-old girl, recorded an unflinching video of the episode. Her video went viral, resulting in massive social unrest across America and was the pivotal piece of evidence in securing Chauvin's conviction for murder. He was sentenced to 22 years in prison.
