On Friday, Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis policeman who was charged with the death of George Floyd, a drug addict who Chauvin kneeled on his neck for nine minutes screaming “I can’t breathe,” was sentenced to 22 years and six months (270 months) in prison.
The news came after a judge dismissed Chauvin’s plea for a new trial, saying he failed to prove abuses from the court as well as prosecutorial or juror misconduct.
According to CBS News, prosecutors requested “Judge Peter Cahill sentence the 45-year-old Chauvin to 30 years in prison, while his defense attorney is calling for little time behind bars or even probation.”
“Mr. Chauvin asks the Court to look beyond its findings, to his background, his lack of criminal history, his amenability to probation, to the unusual facts of this case, and to his being a product of a ‘broken’ system,” Eric Nelson, Chauvin’s attorney wrote in a filing.
A prison spokesperson said, “Since his conviction, Chauvin has been held at Minnesota Correctional Facility-Oak Park Heights, outside of Minneapolis, and was put into a segregated housing unit for his own safety,” according to reports.
The judge claimed his sentence was not based on public opinion or an attempt to send messages. Cahill said he worked to apply the law.
Well the towns will be a burning down tonight, because it was not enough for them.
And the courts will slap the hood rats on the wrist
APPEAL!!
That was not a fair trial. How could it have been?
NO Federal ‘trial’ is fair. they have a 99% conviction rate. The ‘judge’ is also a prosecutor!
LISTEN UP….GOD Still Says….DEREK CHAUVIN Did NOT Get a FAIR TRIAL. GOD Ruled FLOYD’S DEATH an AC CiDENTAL SUICIDE. The Same DRUG that KILLED PRINCE Killed GEORGE FLOYD along with HIS HEALTH Problems. GOD is NOT a LIAR. HE is the TRUTH. From SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄
What utter BULLSHIT!!! Jail a policeman for doing his job!!! g. floyd was A DRUG ADDICT AND A CRIMINAL, keep caving to CRIMINALS AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS!!! THIS REALLY IS BULLSHIT!!! THESE PEOPLE DON’T GET WHAT THEY WANT AND THEY RIOT, KILL & INJURE, LOOT, DESTROY PROPERTY AND THEY GET OFF SCOTT FREE!!! UTTER BULLSHIT!!!
Burn Loot Murder = the governing law .
Chauvin is the guy you need to fight crime in Chicago and Portland he was doing his job against criminals. What a backstabbing judicial system all the police should quit in democrat run cities an states
Many of them have already quit in Seattle and Portland. At least in Seattle, more of them quit every day.
Officer Chauvin should have been awarded a medal for getting rid of another piece of trash!
How does one “SCREAM I CAN’T BREATHE” for 90 minutes if he can’t breathe to scream with?
His own actions put him in that position to control him from RESISTING ARREST!
9 mins. Not 90! NEITHER FLOYD OR CHAUVIN ARE INNOCENT! EXCEPT IF YOU REALLY BELIEVE FLOYD WAS DIEING FROM DRUGS, CHAUVIN DIDNT NEED TO BE ON TOP OF HIM ,YOU SAID IT WAS VITUALLY SUICIDE!
Coward judge. Cowards all of them. BLM controls the left and everyone else fall in line like scared little sheep.
YOUR 100% CORRECT SIR, THE JUDGE, GOVERNOR AND MAYOR ARE COWARDS!!! Be nice to see 1 of them in need of a policeman, and the policeman walks away!!! SO ANGRY!!!
I HATE TO BURST YOUR BUBBLE BUT POLICE ARE NOT AS INNOCENT AS YOUR MAKING THEM OUT TO BE! THEIR ONLY ,” LEGAL CRIMINALS”! BESIDES IT’S GOD TO JUDGE NOT YOU OR I !
This is all Bullshit ! That Police officer DID NOT CAUSE GEORGE FLOYDS DEATH “ ! That THUG George Floyd had been a career criminal for years and years, in and out of Prison and jail to many times to count. His last charge was “ Armed robbery “ of a pregnant woman. George Floyd had swallowed a hand full of drugs and had 8 0z. Shoved up in his rectum ! He died from a massive overdose of Fentanyl! He was yelling I can’t breathe while still in his car swallowing drugs, standing outside of his car and resisting the police officers ! This is an Effing frame job by the Radical Racist Democrats and The Attorneys . They were pressured to charge him. All the police officers should have all been cleared . Just like O.J. Simpson almost cut his wife’s head off in that murder and the young man murdered, blacks were thrilled he got away with it and white people were murdered , now and innocent white COP will go to prison for killing a black dope slinging, career criminal . Schmmmm ! What Bullshit !
The guy in the picture, the guy on trial, isn’t even the same guy that had his knee on Floyd’s neck…Just LOOK.
Was it Mark Twain who said that physical courage is nothing compared to moral courage, which is very rare. I sense that moral courage, i.e. seeking to do that which is RIGHT (Damn the opposition, full speed ahead!), is in very short supply here. And in throwing an officer under the bus, they have caused untold catastrophe in America: a nationwide insult to the rule of law.
Our country is going down the drain. How many police officers will do anything now to fight crime? Crime will get worse and worse until it wont be safe to leave your house, and it probably wont be safe in your house either. This is all by design by the communist democrats which are implementing the new world order, now called the great reset, or global communism. Our future does not look good.
22.5 yrs for being present when a lifelong criminal and drug addict commits suicide by overdose of fentanyl. Doesn’t anyone know that the effect ( not SIDE EFFECT) of fentanyl is? It turns off the respiratory system. ( “I can’t breath”). That’s how it was designed and why it’s used in surgery as part of the anesthesia.
Well….I hope the people of Minneapolis are happy with this verdict , after all you deserve exactly what you voted for; and that Mayor and town council, and their do nothing POLICE CHIEF have destroyed that City…….anyone with any sense wil;, pack up and get out of there while they still have anything remaining of value.
Lying Judges are the new arbiters of Justice…
They have essentially murdered Derek Chauvin by giving him this sentence. It is common knowledge about what happens to police in jail. All this for a drug-dealing criminal. This country is going down the tubes fast!
The unfortunate victim of a belligerent thug who had been a lifelong criminal and the reprehensible liberal culture that made a pathetic hero out of him!
That judge lied. That was a Show Trial.
Now, a man is going to rot in prison because a career criminal overdosed on an especially dangerous drug.
The judge was in fear of what would happen if he didn’t give hIm 22years
Well hopefully he will be out soon as the “mob” wants to eliminate jails.
What a shame .
Not 22 months?? or 2.5 months? Hey Biden free him hes crowding our prisons
I will no longer do business with anyone in the state of Mn. Period
Mom, I do not wanna be a cop no more.
WHPEVER SAID THAT HE WAS ON G.FLOYD FOR 90 MINS. WAS IN ERROR,IT WAS 9 ( NINE) MINUTES! GOD STATES NOT TO KILL . REGARDLESS OF FLOYDS’ PAST,WE AREN’T TO JUDGE! I DON’T KNOW G.FLOYDS PAST AND WHAT MAY HAVE LED HIM TO DRUGS AND CRIMINAL ACTIVITY! CHAUVIN LOOKED CONFUSED WHILE ON FLOYD! DO YOU KNOW HIS PAST? I DOUBT IT! BUT ALL OF YOU THAT ARE SO UPSET, DON’T WORRY AS IT’S ONLY GOD FULLFILLING WHAT HE PROMISED IN REVALATIONS! AND YOUR ABSOLUTELY RIGHT NO ONE WILL BE SAFE ANYWHERE . THIS WORLD HIS HEADED FOR DEVASTATION AND THE COMING OF THE LORD! NOW IF YOU BELIEVE THAT AND ARE STILL AROUND AT THE END,YOU WILL ASEND TO HEAVEN WITH OUR LORD AND FATHER!
