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.”
This sound unfair.
I think people who oppose this would do it when anyone gets stabbed. I don’t want to live in the shitty world created by this cop and many like him where inmates suffer a lot of inmate violence.
Just because this isn’t an agreeable person doesn’t mean those who oppose violence in prison are somehow criticising it more now as if it was motivated by who this person is… /: it just means this story is now on the news. I wouldn’t read too deep into it.
No violence for anyone will include those we don’t like, and I think that’s a powerful and fair point to make.
You are right, I was exaggerating and it was unfair to the people that do actively work towards prison reform. Not the best way to phrase it.
But I still see a difference in the number of people particularly interested in prison reform everytime some asshole like this is making prison violence newsworthy. Even if everyone’s intentions are pure, I find it somewhat misguided.
