Even after his release, his situation will forever be the same.

I’ve heard the suggestion that the prison is understaffed, so wardens cannot be in all places at all times. In these situations an inmate could be seriously injured (or worse) before prison guards arrive at a scene. Of course, there is also the suggestion that guards will turn a blind eye in certain circumstances.

Whatever the situation, I find it hard to have any sympathy for Chauvin after witnessing the crime he committed on camera, and the arrogance and cruelty he displayed in doing so. I’m sorry if that sounds bad but I can’t help feeling he brought this on himself.

If you witnessed the crime he committed then you must have witnessed Chavin trying to put Saint George into the back of the Police car, which is what they do with all the people they arrest. You must have witnessed Saint George resisting and refusing to get in? You must have witnessed Chauvin and partner even offering to open the window for the criminal? You must have witnessed Saint George then being the one who went to the ground? You must know that Chavin's restraint tactic had been used thousands of times before with nobody dying? You must know he was trained to restrain that way?

Yes,
turning their backs.


Amazing they have kept him alive

He is stated as an FBI informer by AP. He also chose friday to stab him because it was black friday supposedly, but, that sounds a bit silly to me

[bots]

it was to be expected that inmates would try and take him out, i'm not going to go down the path of whether he deserved it or not. The point is that the prison service there continues to be corrupt

It's looking like Chauvin needed shutting up. Looks like he possibly got Epstein'd

So if anyone who's struggling to keep up. The guy who stabbed Chauvin was sentenced to 30 years in 2001 whilst working as an FBI informant.

Of course it's just a conspiracy theory to most of you. You need confirmation from the ruling elites that control the MSM.

It's all very dodgy. Cover up after cover up after cover up.

The cover up always gets you in the end.

[Alf]

So why did they want the media to edit it a certain way, you ask?

Exactly for the reaction you got. Anarchy, bloodshed and death on the streets. That's what they wanted.

The conviction of the former Minneapolis police officer Derek
Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd was greeted with relief
by those who feared his acquittal would reignite racial tensions
in America. A thorough trial, albeit one firmly in the political
spotlight, considered all the evidence and a jury reached its
verdict beyond reasonable doubt. The justice system worked as
it should, without fear or favour.

Joe Biden, who even before the verdict was delivered
proclaimed publicly that the evidence against Chauvin was
“overwhelming”, said the outcome was a platform on which to
build better race relations in America. The events since Floyd’s
death, with the growth of the Black Lives Matter movement,
certainly demonstrate that these are needed.

It is disconcerting, however, to find campaigners in this country
seeking to find parallels with what has happened across the
Atlantic. There is no comparison. Race relations in the UK, while
by no means perfect, are infinitely better than in America and,
indeed, than in most other countries. Dr Tony Sewell’s
commission, which had the temerity to point this out, continues to be
trashed by those who would rather foment division than seek to improve the


During a heated Commons debate on the report, Marsha de
Cordova, Labour’s spokesman, suggested policy should take its
lead from the BLM movement. Fortunately, the redoubtable
Kemi Badenoch, the minister for equalities, was having none of
it, declaring: “She is clearly determined to create a divisive
atmosphere around race and we will not stand for it.” Ms
Badenoch’s ministerial colleagues need to back her up just as
forcefully.

I agree with that but on the flipside, unfortunately, some people will take "it's much better here than elsewhere" and come to the illogical conclusion that "...therefore issues relating to race need NO attention here; it's fine".

"Better than elsewhere" does not mean "good". "America is worse" doesn't mean "we don't need to bother continuing to improve".


To use one of my famed parables; if you're in an accident and you clearly break your leg, but others in the same accident have internal bleeding and head injuries, YES you can say "Oh wow at least my injuries aren't as severe as theirs" ... and then you get yourself to hospital because you have a broken leg, and that needs attention. You don't hop off home declaring everything fine because your broken leg isn't as bad as Bob's punctured lung.

we don't have a gun culture here, so we just can't compare ourselves to the usa, it's different on so many levels

we recently had a detailed and nuanced report by experts that said that your leg was not broken you have pulled a small ligament - so you can go home rest it for a day or two and you will be fine
