Former Minneapolis police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd, Derek Chauvin, was stabbed Friday at a federal prison in Arizona, sources tell The Associated Press.
I know what you mean, but he’s in prison precisely because there are better people. He’s quite literally among the worst.
There are thousands upon thousands of people incarcerated in the US, and many of them don’t deserve to be there. This power-drunk, murderous thug genuinely deserves to be in prison, as well as everything that comes with the territory of being a corrupt cop among a herd of inmates.
Ha no need to apologise, though I’m interested in your perspective.
I did make the distinction between him and many other people who are behind bars despite being innocent or are behind bars because their crime was unjustly inflated to include other charges (planted evidence) or their ethnicity/ socio-economic group played some role in their disproportionate sentencing.
A lot of this injustice comes from people like Chauvin, who abuse their power and in this case felt the repercussions of his scrum actions. As I mentioned in the other comment, him getting stabbed is beyond the sentencing he was given and is therefore undeserved. He was not given a death sentence and I don’t think he should receive one.
I agree with the sentiment but it’s kinda weird to raise the topic of “broken justice system” in a thread where the system finally punishes someone who deserves it.
It was a punny comment on the “couldn’t have happened to a better person”, where I was arguing that he wasn’t a better person, which is why he is where he is.
I think his sentence is an example of the justice system working (though it only happened because the situation became so popular and widespread, and incited protests and revolt everywhere), but him getting stabbed isn’t part of his sentence. The guy should get an opportunity to reform as much as anyone else in prison though.
It’s terrible that this happened.
But… couldn’t happen to a better person.

Weirdly dehumanizing language gets the down vote from me, sorry.
