Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of George Floyd’s murder, is expected to survive after he was stabbed in prison, the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office said Saturday.

Chauvin was hospitalized Friday following an assault at the medium-security Federal Correctional Institution at Tucson. A law enforcement source with knowledge of the incident said Chauvin was seriously injured in the assault.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons said the incident took place at about 12:30 p.m. and “responding employees initiated life-saving measures for one incarcerated individual.”

    It’s because in every other circumstance, there aren’t people saying “good” or that’s how it should be. The “No one should get stabbed in prison” is almost exclusively in response to someone celebrating it happening to a particularly shitty person.

    Look, if this guy died painfully, I wouldn’t feel bad for him, but I would still be upset that our prison systems allow for something like that. If a fire department constantly failed to respond to fires, and it turned out one house that burned down and killed the occupant ended up with evidence of some horrible child molester, I wouldn’t shed a tear for the pedo but I would still be upset at how poorly the fire department is run. Same idea here.
