The Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) reportedly had plans to arrest former Minneapolis Police Office Derek Chauvin in court and charge him with civil rights violations if the jury were to find him innocent of murder.
In other words, social justice trumps American’s right to due process.
Multiple sources told the Star Tribune federal prosecutors were ready to move in and charge the white ex-cop on federal counts moments after a not guilty verdict on charges of second and third-degree murder, as well as manslaughter, or in the event of a mistrial.
“Leading up to Derek Chauvin’s murder trial, Justice Department officials had spent months gathering evidence to indict the ex-Minneapolis police officer on federal police brutality charges, but they feared the publicity frenzy could disrupt the state’s case,” a report from the Minneapolis Star Tribune outlined. “So they came up with a contingency plan: If Chauvin were found not guilty on all counts or the case ended in a mistrial, they would arrest him at the courthouse, according to sources familiar with the planning discussions.”

KGB not DOJ
I guess they haven’t read the 5th Amendment.
Not that it matters to these POS.
These people truly deserve the guillotine I hope they get following CW-II.
I’m shocked..............Some secret!.... SOP, everybody knows..............
Essentially, this is what they did in the Rodney King verdict back in the 90’s, though the federal case was not opened until the state case the cops were not found guilty.
SPLC-DOJ.
Chauvin was lynched. The Department of Injustice is all about that.
Department of “Let’s Get That Guy”
Sounds as though the Gestapo has been reborn.
When do these Domestic Enemies hit the trip wire?
Punishment is more important than justice.
The State of Minnesota is hoping for the Federal charges, so they can retry Chauvin on First Degree Murder charges with hate crime aggravation.
Show me exactly what part of the Constitution and Bill of Rights these Commie Thugs will honor.
I am a patient man but not for much longer.
If they have multiple sources, the facts are there and it is true.
This is a disgrace to our country and Biden must resign for the police state the Democrats have created.
Nope. They needed a sacrifice and they got him.
Just like they got Trump.
Had enough yet? What are WE willing do to about it?
Until we do, what will change?
Every police officer in the country should walk off the job right now. Let the work, corrupt politicians, dishonest judges and overzealous prosecutors fend for themselves.
That’s no secret plan, it’s an established pattern like in the Rodney King trial. DOJ brought civil rights charges when criminal charges didn’t work.
They've done it before, I think in the Rodney King case.
