George Floyd’s killer stabbed in prison

Derek Chauvin news

Former police officer Derek Chauvin is serving a 22.5-year sentence for the 2020 killing that sparked BLM riots.

Derek Chauvin, the ex-Minneapolis cop convicted of the on-duty murder of George Floyd, has been stabbed by a fellow inmate in federal prison, the Associated Press reported, noting that he sustained serious injuries.

The attack reportedly took place at the Federal Correctional Institution in Tucson, Arizona on Friday afternoon, a source familiar with the incident told the AP.

The US Bureau of Prisons has confirmed that an inmate was assaulted at the facility on Friday, though did not provide a name, only saying the victim received “life-saving measures” before they were taken to a hospital for treatment. The AP source added that Chauvin was “seriously injured” in the attack, though the extent of his injuries are unclear.

Chauvin was transferred to the Tucson prison from a maximum-security facility in Minnesota last year, set to serve out two sentences simultaneously: a 22.5-year conviction for Floyd’s murder and a separate 21-year sentence for violating Floyd’s civil rights.

Floyd lost his life in police custody, detained on suspicion of passing off a counterfeit $20 bill at a corner store in Minneapolis. Chauvin was seen kneeling on Floyd’s neck for more than nine minutes in footage of the altercation.

The video sparked nationwide outrage, with protests and riots erupting across hundreds of American cities throughout the summer of 2020.

Floyd’s final words, “I can’t breathe,” became a rallying cry for demonstrators, with the Black Lives Matter movement deeming Floyd’s death an example of “racist” policing. Medical examiners ruled that fentanyl and methamphetamine found in his system had nothing to do with his death.

Chauvin’s defense team has moved to overturn his convictions, arguing their client did not cause Floyd’s death, but the US Supreme Court rejected an appeal to his murder sentence last week. A separate appeal for his federal civil rights charge is still ongoing.

      Infowars had the Coroners Report on George Floyd up on-screen a couple of years ago, and the report is available in several sites.
      Floyd died of numerous drugs in his system that caused heart failure (NOT a ‘heart attack’ brought on by physical distress while being apprehended for passing fake $20 notes to a retailer…) as a result of Fentanyl.
      Hopefully, the Chauvin Family will now sue the J3wdicial System starting with the SCOTUS that denied Chauvin’s appeal just last week, and the courts (Federal Circuit and State Courts) that passed a jail sentence on false ’cause of death’ pretenses.
      While I do not like to cops in the U.S. (Israeli trained, BTW), Chauvin and the three other cops should have had an inquest and appeals launched immediately after the Juries pronounced them ‘guilty’ without ever seeing the Coroners Report as to the REAL cause of death of George Floyd.
      Floyd was a previously-convicted criminal that the Zio-Bolsheviks in the U.S. employed to maximum effect under the guidance of BLM, ANTIFA, the NAACP, the Democrat Party and the SPLC who all conspired to focus their perverted energies into causing strife, riots, etc. just as outlined in J3wi$h-Bolshevik Lenin’s ‘Little Red Book’ on how to foment a communist revolution by further sowing racial divides.
      That may be a foregone conclusion, as Biden has destroyed the U.S. along with the Zionists and their Noahide Law and Talmudic implementations that have cancelled the U.S. Constitution!

    • The ‘judge’ which did this acted too late, as the document was leaked via a copy being released before the ‘judge’ had a chance to read the same and ordered it sealed.
      The copy was promptly destroyed so as not to place the copy holder in contempt of court, but everyone saw the initial contents; heart failure caused by drug overdose.
      Chauvin was also following the guidance in the Police Manual, and that is available online.
      Problem is; ALL of the Law Enforcement in the U.S. are Israeli trained to IDF Standards, and that in itself violates the U.S. Constitution, just like the ‘Pledges to Israel’ that the Congress was making when they came into office!
      Just ask any Palestinian…!
      And- I don’t know the ethnicity of the ‘judge’, but it’s safe to say that he / she was probably J*****, enforcing the J**dicial Systems of bias that is against everyone in the U.S.!
