“We will continue to try to ascertain what additional measures are being made to protect Derek and will pursue any avenues available under the law to ensure his continued safety,” Chauvin’s attorney Gregory M. Erickson said.

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.

    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.
