Derek Chauvin Could Face Additional Charges for 2017 Incident
Newsmax ^ | April 24, 2021 | Nick Koutsobinas

The Department of Justice is exploring whether to file additional charges against former Minnesota police officer Derek Chauvin for a 2017 incident where he allegedly beat a Black teenager so badly he needed stitches, reports ABC News.

Chauvin, who was seen on video pressing his knee to Floyd's neck for more than 9 minutes, on Tuesday was found guilty of all counts he was charged with, including second-degree murder.

Bodycam video of the incident shows Chauvin striking the 14-year-old’s head with a flashlight after he wouldn’t comply with officers. Chauvin then allegedly held the boy’s throat and "applied a neck restraint, causing the child to lose consciousness and go to the ground," Matthew Frank, one of the state prosecutors, wrote in court papers.

It is evil what the death of George Floyd is being used for. Hope everyone knows this isn’t just about police. They want to destroy white people, period. They’re just going after the low-hanging fruit first.

So the fact that Chauvin did everything by the training manual makes him “cold-hearted?”

Yes, sometimes you need to break the rules. You may lose your job, but yes. That dick.hea.d cop was too narcissist to get up.

Was he playing with himself, with his hands in his pockets? Getting off by taking down PIA black man. A man he knew and didn’t like. PIA= pain in the arse.

The best he can hope for in an appeal is a new trial, with that new trial being in Minneapolis, and that trial would not take place for at least three years.

Officer Chauvin is apparently only 5’-9” and 140 pounds so he probably made up for his slight stature with a badass attitude. George Floyd was 6’-3” and 223 lbs.

"Chauvin, who was seen on video pressing his knee to Floyd's neck shoulder blade for more than 9 minutes, on Tuesday was found "guilty" in a rigged Kangaroo court of all counts he was charged with, including second-degree murder.

The real reason behind this additional charge from 2017 has nothing to do with this incident and it isn’t even about Derek Chauvin. The intent here is to get current police officers to quit and to dissuade others from ever pursuing a career in law enforcement. If any police officer can be charged today for incidents which happened years ago, but be held to today’s naive standards by today’s politicized juries, there will be no meaningful law enforcement. Breaking down societal law and order is a longstanding objective of communist revolutionaries. They want to create strife and conflict so that people will eventually support their totalitarian solution. All of these “Youtube Jurors” on this thread who are condemning police officers need to wake up and see how they are being played as useful idiots in the communist agenda.

A very thoughtful, logical and reasonable analysis.

Management needs to be fired.

Yeah, but not for the reason you think.

I’m expecting the biden doj to prosecute him for violation of civil rights (18 USC 241/242). Enough is never enough for the left.

Firing a cop in Chicago is pretty much impossible.
