Floyd, who was Black, died on May 25, 2020, after Chauvin, who is white, pressed a knee on his neck for 9½ minutes on the street outside a convenience store where Floyd was suspected of trying to pass a counterfeit $20 bill.
the fuck is this phrasing
I could almost see it as an author who is trying to acknowledge that the outcry was that black lives matter and, as such, the murder had a racial element to it. I’d probably get rid of everything after store because the topic of the piece isn’t about what Floyd was doing. You might also consider being more explicit about your motivations for bringing up race and making it two sentences: one about how Chauvin murdered Floyd and another about how the white on black murder sparked a big conversation about race. That would, of course, be giving the benefit of the doubt which is a hehexd kind of situation.
the author, who is white,
Very often writers will defend their “officer involved shooting” BS by saying something like “oh he’s innocent until proven guilty”
Motherfucker, this guy is CONVICTED. You’re allowed to say without ambiguity that he murdered George Floyd because that is the official opinion of the US Government on the matter unless it gets appealed and overturned.

Died vs killed/murdered
There’s a few
episodes on that use of language
“Some people say, that the former officer was involved in death of Mr. Floyd.”
“Yes, the people in the courtroom that found him guilty.”
crabswait he didn’t die
Ratings were pretty good. I hear a sequel has already been greenlighted.
I don’t know, he was no angel… Does anyone know if he had drugs in his system when it happened?
lol
But seriously, prisons are unsafe places where vigilante “justice” is openly accepted and this is a bad thing.

but also lol
For obvious reasons I cannot celebrate violence in prisons, plus I specifically want this motherfucker to live a long miserable life
This story would be horrific for sure if it happened to someone who didn’t deserve it. But yeah, with you 100%.
In an abstract sense, I don’t want any murderers killed like that. I don’t want prison to be a thing. But for once the people exempted from the prison industrial complex are subjected to the same shit as everyone else.
FMR. OFFICER DEREK CHAUVIN WOUNDED BY KNIFE IN INMATE-INVOLVED STABBING
Was he resisting? The article doesn’t explain the context. And he was no angel.
If he didn’t want to get stabbed he should have just done what the other prisoners wanted him to do
I hear the police officer body has ways of shutting that whole thing down
Ex-officer Derek Chauvin, convicted in George Floyd’s killing,
He’s convicted of second-degree murder and they still can’t bring themselves to say that an officer killed someone
Side note, apparently
of all people is doing relatively well in prison. Though she’s good at manipulating others so it’s not all that surprising.Either that or she’s still well connected enough to have people on the outside pull strings for her to keep her comfy, mob style.
Wasn’t her dad connected to the Mossad and died in some weird over-the-side-of-a-boat incident?
Look, being a prisoner is a high stress position and sometimes, mistakes happen. The associated prisoners will do a full internal audit and summarize their findings in a press release within 26 months.
