Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of George Floyd’s murder, is expected to survive after he was stabbed in prison, the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office said Saturday.
Chauvin was hospitalized Friday following an assault at the medium-security Federal Correctional Institution at Tucson. A law enforcement source with knowledge of the incident said Chauvin was seriously injured in the assault.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons said the incident took place at about 12:30 p.m. and “responding employees initiated life-saving measures for one incarcerated individual.”
Honestly I’m too tired rn to give this conversation the fair amount of attention and I considered just not responding but
IMO the conversation about him should be the context of what can be done to change the systems in place to prevent more people like him from being put in positions of power in the first place. I can’t exactly hand wave and make that happen, but honestly both takes on this seem like distractions from the point to me. “No one deserves this” and “haha fuck him” are both unproductive conversation towards preventing the kind of crimes he commited, but at least “haha fuck him” is cathartic and brief.
If you respond to me and I don’t respond back I’m not trying to be rude I’m just tired
