Former Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin has been sentenced to 22.5 years for his role in the death of George Floyd. Hennepin County District Judge Peter Cahill handed down the sentence Friday in a Minneapolis courtroom, hours after denying the defense’s request for a new trial.
Statements were read to the court by Floyd’s family members ahead of the sentencing and Chauvin offered his condolences to the family. The 45-year-old was found guilty of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.

Mohamed Noor’s sentence raises uncomfortable questions about race
XiNN isn't very consistent, is it...
Try to arrest a drug addict who just committed a crime and this might happen to you. Unless the guy is white.
Thanks for that, Mew, it’s an interesting contrast.
The Left is frantically trying to destroy the country.
He has countless legal reasons for appeal, first and foremost jury tampering (intimidation).
The only reason the appeal was not already filed I assume is a legal technical one.
1 to 2 years before “suicide” is committed...
A cop in prison doesn’t stand much of chance...
There will be 100s of inmates would just love to kill Chauvin. So he will certainly be placed in administrative segregation for his own protection. Then some day some guard will “forget” to lock a door. No more Chauvin.
The mob had their foot on the scale of justice for the sentencing as they did for the verdict. The judge has even more on the line than the jury.
I couldn’t have said it better.
Thanks, Sport, ... indeed the Useful Idiots will come to find out that they are no longer Useful, and be subsequently Foisted on their own Petard, much to their surprise.
Mohammad Noor was a black Minneapolis police officer who was convicted of killing a white woman named Justine Damond. Damond had called to report a possible rape in her neighborhood. She was outside her home. She was not being arrested, nor charged with anything.
Noor got 12 1/2 years.
Derek Chauvin was a white Minneapolis police officer who was convicted of killing a black man named George Floyd. Floyd was being arrested and had large amounts of drugs in his system (none of which justifies killing him.)
Chauvin got 22 1/2 years.
See the difference?
The drugs and the heart condition would have killed Floyd anyway, in all probability. Chauvin was the catalyst that caused it to happen when it did instead of when those things would have killed him on their own.
Somewhat like COVID deaths — if you dies with COVID, you died of COVID. The co-morbidities would have killed the vast majority of those people anyway, but COVID was the catalyst that made it happen in April instead of August.
I think the catalyst was the store clerk calling the cops over the counterfeit $20 bill, and Floyd getting upset, and upon the arrival of the cops, shoving the drugs he had on him into his mouth, his resulting resisting arrest, along with his established medical issues caused his death. Nobody can say he wouldn't have died anyway from those drugs, had he not been placed on the ground at his own request, and Chauvin placing a knee on his shoulder blade. Once he put those drugs in his mouth and swallowed them, he sealed his own fate. He'd overdosed two months before his death, and his girlfriend rushed him to the hospital.
I see, said the blind man.
All this needs to blow over
In a year so he’ll get a retrial ; and be a free man
Derek Chauvin did nothing wrong nothing out of the ordinary everything is on video tape
Oh and George Floyd died of a fentanyl overdose- 24 hours after the incident.
It’s very clear to me that that entire knee on the neck incident was a set up designed to inflame tensions and produce the riots that it did nationwide and just the 37,out of 145 efforts to damage or destroy our great and wonderful president Donald J Trump
I for one can’t wait for his rally tonight! Whose with me ???
You’re welcome!
I have a question for anyone who followed the case closely...
Did the prosecution prove that Chauvin violated police protocol in his treatment of Floyd?
If the prosecution did not prove that beyond a reasonable doubt, then this shouldn’t have been a criminal case.
