Chauvin, who was convicted in the 2020 murder of George Floyd, was allegedly stabbed with an “improvised knife” Nov. 24 while in the law library at Federal Correctional Institution in Tucson, Arizona, by inmate John Turscak, 52, according to a criminal complaint.
I might be wrong, but the reason (good or bad) is people don’t feel the judgement was actually just?
He was punished but it’s only 22 years…and they’re still trying to appeal it . And I remember it being messy and after a lot of outcry.
This isn’t meant to justify it, but I do think that you could definitely see why people would not be happy with the situation.
Like I definitely understand that people should feel safe in prison, but I think there’s a lot of things about the situation people disagree on.
I don’t think it’s appropriate to put a “but” after “people should feel safe in prison”. It implies that there are people who do not deserve safety while incarcerated.
We’re talking about a cop. He’s not people to start with but especially with what he’s done.
He doesn’t deserve safety as he is part of the reason why so many people suffer in prisons and have their lives ruined. I will do nothing other than cheer as every ounce of his life is shredded in front of him until his life is as empty as he made Chauvins.
But that’s a revenge fantasy. And cops are still people. What we want is “harm reduction”. Harm reduction was accomplished when his gun, badge and freedom were taken away, and (hopefully) a message was sent to other police officers to cause them to think twice before murdering people.

They don’t have to be happy about the situation, they just have to ask themselves honestly if more prison stabbings is a good thing or a bad thing, and maybe explain why they trust inmates to make the judgement of who does and does not get stabbed.
The whole argument literally has no more depth than “Fuck that guy”. I feel like these people would be justifying drunk drivers if Chauvin had been run down by one.
