1. It is ridiculous to call someone a rodef after thirteen years.
2. Chauvin did not claim that his life was in danger.
3. There are those who want to claim that anyone may kill a ben Noach who violated one of the sheva mitzvot, as Floyd did many times. However, this goes against many Rishonim (see דרך המלך: מענה הלכתי ורעיוני לספר תורת המלך and איסור הריגת גוי ורציחת מחבל כפות, both online) who make it clear that only a duly constituted court may do this).
