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.

    These are all just emotional arguments & virtue signaling. You don’t have to respect him or like that he gets to live in jail while GF is dead. Wanting the justice system to function correctly and put Chauvin in jail just to turn around and celebrate it’s failures when he is shanked in jail is hypocritical.

      I literally do not care. He is a cop. You’re asking me to give a fuck about the life of a ‘human’ who doesn’t care about anyone elses. I’m not doing that.

      Lawful evil doesn’t count.

      Yes, prison reform is badly needed. No, prisons shouldn’t be hell-pits of torture and suffering, and no, having them be that way doesn’t fix anything.

      All of that is granted. A functioning civilisation gives up the emotional satisfaction of vengeance and vendetta, in exchange for the streets not being ankle-deep in blood all the time, and on the whole that’s a very good bargain.

      But in the case of people who abuse and subvert the very system that facilitates that exchange?

      It’s paradox-of-tolerance stuff. We don’t have to give a shit about the welfare of abusive cops, any more than we have to extend tolerance and kindness to nazis.
