Former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin has been stabbed by another inmate at a federal prison in Arizona where he's serving time for the murder of George Floyd.
While it’s easy to not sympathize with a person like that, no inmates should be getting stabbed in prison. It’s still wrong. And still a symptom of the bad justice system in the US.
Guy committed slow murder and set my country on fire. I don’t even know how we would be able to quantify the damage he did. There were BLM protests in countries on different continents. There is now less trust of the police globally, there are were countless riots and deaths and assaults and fires, this mistrust set off cycles of violence and has set race relations back decades. We live in the world now that we rightfully can’t trust our own LEOs and they have hunkered down.
There are zero winners here. We all benefit from a police system that works and has earned the public trust. So yes I will shed zero tears for this man. Because fuck his racist asshole
Wayne Couzens is thankfully serving life without parole for his sickening crime, and the ladies who were manhandled, tackled down and detained during the vigil have been compensated by the courts. This whole scandal because the catalyst that led to Cressida Dick resigning as the Met Police Commissioner (long overdue), and investigations that found institutionalized racism and misogyny in the Met.
Another example is the ‘Kill the Bill’ protests, which were protests held against the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill which was going through Parliament, which essentially wanted to give the police greater powers to suppress peaceful protests and dish out ten year prison sentences for causing a public nuisance. This came off the back of environmental groups blocking roads to protest the government’s inaction on climate change.
Protests to oppose the bill led to a riot in Bristol where a police station was vandalized, and a later protest which was cracked down upon with violence. I remember seeing a clip on Twitter of a police officer bashing a woman in the face with his riot shield.
seems like a victimless crime. frankly, i firmly believe he self harmed and is trying to get favor from the corrections facility to be moved to more private quarters.
Where is the video proof he was stabbed? it’s all hearsay without it.
the pendulum swings in two directions. You think he was stabbed, i think he stabbed himself. the outcome is the same. why wouldn’t he want to end it? he has to sleep with one eye open forever.
we have no reason to suspect someone else stabbed him, self mutilation happens…he fucked around and is finding out. not sure how you have any sympathy for a man who choked someone out in front of a crowd and was proud about it. would you step in to save a man like that?
I have sympathy for all humans. It’s what humans do. We already all agreed that prisoners deserve humane conditions. We can’t just back off every time it’s someone we don’t like…

We had BLM protests here in Britain too, but George Floyd isn’t the main reason we’ve grown to distrust cops.
Two years ago, a serving Metropolitan police officer ‘arrested’ a young woman who was walking home from her friend’s house on the basis of her breaching COVID lockdown guidelines. He then raped and murdered her. The Metropolitan Police then proceeded to brutally crack down upon a peaceful vigil held to mourn her.

Police shouldn’t kill unarmed people, but here we are.
Yeah, this one guy here got a nice twist of karma. Many others though just get stabbed and raped anyway.
Maybe we should fix both problems, and having a cop get shanked in the shower or whatever could provide some impetus toward that.
How exactly? Violence always breeds more violence.
Because the little cowards don’t like violence against themselves, silly.
And cops who are supposed to protect people shouldn’t be executing people, but here we are. He himself contributed to the problem he’s facing.
Yeah but two wrongs never make a right.

It can’t be victimless if there is a victim. There’s no reason to think that someone would have wanted to get themseleves stabbed.

I think you’re not being logical. We have no reason to suspect he stabbed himself.
