The complaint alleges that while incarcerated at Federal Correctional Institution Tucson, John Turscak, 52, stabbed Chauvin about 22 times “with an improvised knife,” prosecutors said.
Turscak was charged with attempted murder, assault with intent to commit murder, assault with a dangerous weapon, and assault resulting in serious bodily injury, according to prosecutors.
The investigation in the case was conducted by the FBI.
Attempted murder and assault with intent to commit murder violations each carry maximum penalties of 20 years incarceration, while assault with a dangerous weapon and assault resulting in serious bodily injury each carry maximum penalties of 10 years.
Chauvin was expected to survive following the attack last week in a prison in Arizona, the Minnesota Attorney General’s office said earlier.
Imagine you wake up at 6 AM on a monday morning in May, weather is already warm, drink your coffee, take on your uniform and go to your police job. Approximately 2 hours later, you knee on the neck of a black man doing your usual racism like you did for the past years, nothing special. At 8:20 AM you notice that this time the guy is not moving anymore…
Three years later, you wake up in a prison cell, listening to the command shouted by the corrections officer, walking down the hallway and suddenly getting stabbed by someone 22 times.
That is some Butterfly-Effect shit that you didn’t saw coming when you woke up on that day in may in 2020. He must think a lot about this day. And George. For George it was an even worst day that day in May.
I wonder if Derek is now realizing that the entire system he worked for and upheld only produces violence. It’s not that he shouldn’t be stabbed, but that no one in the justice system should be subject to the violence he himself subjected on others, like Floyd. Truly hosted by his own peitard.
And for that reason, my sympathies are limited.
They all know that already - they just think its a good thing because the pain is inflicted on those they consider the “bad kind” of person.
The reality is that when fascists are confronted by their own violence, they aren’t against the violence, they’re just against it happening to them, because they think they are the “good kind” of person.
Nah he will go to his grave saying he didn’t do anything wrong
He already knew that - that’s why he joined the pigs.
I thought it was “foisted by their own petard”.
a Petard is a bomb. To be hoist by one is to be blown into the air.
Yup. Apparently I was just horribly wrong.
I deferred to Wikipedia.
You got some of the words right.
Yuuuup. Oh well. At this pint I think it would be more embarrassing to go back and edit. 😂
How many deep are you? 😉
And you were correct. Not sure where I got my version.
It wasn’t just a stranger too. They knew each other. Used to work security together at a Minneapolis nightclub called El nuevo rodeo. The club was later burned down during the protests.
