An unsurprising headline
Can't wait to hear that "evidence".The attack is reported to have happened on Friday at the Federal Correctional Institution, Tucson, a medium-security prison that has been plagued by security lapses and staffing shortages.
[...]
In a statement, the agency said responding employees contained the incident and performed “life-saving measures” before the inmate, who it did not name, was taken to a hospital for further treatment and evaluation.
[...]
Chauvin, 47, was sent to FCI Tucson from a maximum-security Minnesota state prison in August 2022 to simultaneously serve a 21-year federal sentence for violating Floyd’s civil rights and a 22½-year state sentence for second-degree murder.
[...]
In Minnesota, Chauvin was mainly kept in solitary confinement “largely for his own protection.”
[...]
Floyd, who was Black, died on 25 May 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 US$20 bill.
Bystander video captured Floyd’s fading cries of “I can’t breathe”.
[...]
Last week, the US supreme court rejected Chauvin’s appeal against his murder conviction. Separately, Chauvin is making a bid to overturn his federal guilty plea, claiming new evidence shows he didn’t cause Floyd’s death.
Guardian
"Shouldn't have had." No kidding?In November 2022, an inmate at the facility’s low-security prison camp pulled out a gun and attempted to shoot a visitor in the head. The weapon, which the inmate shouldn’t have had, misfired and no one was hurt.
Also not surprising, as Nassar is "disgraced" by virtue of having sexually abused young people in his care.In July, disgraced sports Dr Larry Nassar was stabbed by a fellow inmate at a federal penitentiary in Florida.

Derek Chauvin verdict
Incredible that it took the horror of Chauvin's actions for a jury to convict a police officer. He'd have gotten off better if he'd just shot the man dead.A jury on Tuesday found former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin guilty on all three charges stemming from the killing of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man, last year.
Chauvin was not expressive as Judge Peter Cahill announced his conviction on charges of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. The verdicts were read a day after jurors began their deliberations.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.Unrest flared throughout Minneapolis following [George] Floyd’s death.

Ivan Harrison Hunter, a 26-year-old from Boerne, Texas, [ a member of the “Boogaloo Bois”,] is charged with one count of interstate travel to incite a riot for his alleged role in ramping up violence during the protests in Minneapolis on May 27 and 28. According to charges, Hunter, wearing a skull mask and tactical gear, shot 13 rounds at the south Minneapolis police headquarters while people were inside. He also looted and helped set the building ablaze, according to the complaint, which was filed Monday under seal.
[...]
As police clashed with protesters, Hunter and other members of the Boogaloo Bois discussed in private Facebook messages their plans to travel to Minneapolis and rally at the Cub Foods across from the third precinct, according to federal court documents. One of the people Hunter coordinated with posted publicly to social media: “Lock and load boys. Boog flags are in the air, and the national network is going off,” the complaint states.
[...]
Hunter had bragged about his role in the Minneapolis riots on Facebook, publicly proclaiming, “I helped the community burn down that police station” and “I didn’t’ protest peacefully Dude ... Want something to change? Start risking felonies for what is good.”
[...]
Hunter is the third member of the Boogaloo Bois, a loose-knit group intent on igniting a second American civil war, to be charged in Minneapolis as a result of the unrest that followed Floyd’s death.
Michael Robert Solomon and Benjamin Ryan Teeter were indicted in September with conspiracy to provide material support for a foreign terrorist organization.

It was personal
This will not help Chauvin's case.
It probably WILL, however, be used by police apologists to cast doubts on the systemic police brutality argument. Unfortunately for them, there's a wealth of new video to support the claims.Reports had surfaced before that Derek Chauvin worked security at the same nightclub as Floyd. Now one man is saying that the men knew each other and had a history of not getting along.
That man worked security with both men and spoke with CBS News.
“They (Chauvin and Floyd) bumped heads,” David Pinney told CBS News. “It has a lot to do with, with Derek being extremely aggressive within the club with some of the patrons, which, which is, which was an issue.”
[...]
The Floyd family has said they believe what happened between Chauvin and George Floyd was personal and their attorney has been pushing for him to be charged with first-degree murder. Chauvin is charged with second degree murder and manslaughter. His bond has been set at $1.25 million without conditions and $1 million with conditions.

"This is a great day for everybody. This is a great, great day. And I want to say something about the economy. We dominated [China] over the last two and a half years."

And no one laughed! And what was that rambling shit about moving troops and the vaccine benig easy by comparison at the end there???

Game on
Game on.The Rev. Al Sharpton, during his eulogy for George Floyd on Thursday afternoon, called for a march on Washington on Aug. 28, the 57th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s original march on Washington during the Civil Rights Movement.
"We're going back to Washington," Sharpton told those who had gathered for Floyd's memorial service at North Central University in Minneapolis.
The Hill
“George Floyd’s story has been the story of black folks, because ever since 401 years ago, the reason we could never be who we wanted and dreamed to be was because you kept your knee on our neck,” Sharpton said.
He continued: “What happened to Floyd happens every day in this country. … It’s time for us to stand up in George’s name and say ‘get your knee off our necks.’”
[...]
Sharpton’s eulogy was centered around time, with the reverend at the beginning of his speech evoking Ecclesiastes 3, a Bible verse that reads: “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.”

The reverend also had a message for Washington lawmakers, warning them that there is no longer time for their excuses and “empty words and empty promises.”

Sharpton asserted that the fact protests have been held around the world in Floyd’s name signal that, “it’s a different time.”
“America, this is the time of dealing with accountability in the criminal justice system,” Sharpton said.

Because they can.
UPDATE: Here's another one...
Worse. This guy was begging for understanding between cops and citizens.
Also, just notice the imagery: unarmed citizens kneeling, peacefully, nonthreatening, faced by a goon squad with clubs, jackboots and helmets.
