Cognitive dissonance theory

 The Cognitive dissonance theory implies that people will experience dissonance when they act in a way that counters important self-concepts or values, and they will be motivated to reduce this dissonance. Yet consider the large numbers of people who continue to smoke or fail to exercise, or Roman Catholics who get divorced, have abortions, or use birth control. How might cognitive dissonance explain the behavior of the police officer who killed George Floyd by pressing his knee on his neck for almost 9 minutes after Floyd repeatedly stated, I cant breathe? How would the cognitive dissonance theory explain such behaviors? Do you think those behaviors are motivated by nature, nurture, attitude, or something else?
