“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.

    This is kinda where I’m coming from on this. There are still tons of cases of cops blatantly and aggressively violating people’s rights, up to and including killing them. They never show remorse until they suffer consequences. Until there is consistent accountability, and cops actually consider the full ramifications of their actions, I won’t be upset by the ones that might suffer some harsher punishments for their crimes.
