I thought the statement Chauvin's mom gave was disgusting. She should have kept her mouth shut.

And now the ReTrumplican Party will go into high gear, creating their tyrannical state. They're already trying to restrict bodycam video, restrict voting rights, restrict the right to protest, fill up the courts with rightwing lunatic fringe judges..........

Hold on, Folks this ride aint over!

He had "honor"........ It's odd to see what passes for "honor" these days, isn't it?

My hope that this verdict will have lasting positive results in law enforcement circles. Waiting to see if the other officers in this incident do deals or go to court now.

Not one word of sympathy for the family of George Floyd.

Like mother like son.

Concurrently, Chauvin and his wife are being Caponed.


Former Minnesota Police Officer Derek Chauvin Charged With Tax Evasion

July 23, 20202:15 AM ET

That makes him a crooked and killer cop.

Quote:
The Washington County prosecutor's office announced Wednesday that Chauvin and his wife, Kellie May Chauvin, face charges of underreporting their joint income from 2014 through 2019 by $464,433, including more than $95,000 that Derek Chauvin earned from off-duty security work.

"Revenue investigators initiated a review into the Chauvins in June 2020 for failure to timely file Minnesota individual income tax returns from 2016 to 2019 and fraudulently filing tax returns from 2014 to 2019," the office said in a statement.
That's around $80K a year tax free income.

A classic case of "My little angel, he's such a good boy. He never meant anyone any harm and I'm sure he's sorry" or words to that effect. As Mark B said "Not one word of sympathy for the family of George Floyd.". Just goes to show that to some people some other people's lives don't matter. Look for her to appear on some Reich-Wing media outlet boo-hoo-hoo-ing about her poor baby in the near future.

Don't hold your breath. The rot goes too deep. There'll have to be a lot more prosecutions and convictions before things change.
