Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has been sentenced to 270 months, or 22.5 years, in the murder of George Floyd last year.
Chauvin, 45, was expected to serve about 15 years behind bars.
Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill said the sentence was not based on emotion or sympathy but said "we need to recognize the pain of the Floyd family."

No one should be a cop in high-N areas. Move to the white suburbs.
No one should be a cop if they cannot be a cop
🤡 ❄️
Not enough unless they put him in Gen Pop.
Exactly
Good decision, but he will be bailed out in lesser time.
There’s no bail when you get sentenced to prison it’s called Parole
Ridiculous.
Cry more, 1960s tyrant
RUFKM…HE’LL SEE HIS FAMILY IN NO TIME 😠 IT’S A LIFETIME OF GRIEVING FOR GEORGE’S FAMILY 🤔
I’m sure the 27 million they received will help the grieving for the loss of their loser son.
Amen.
Way to make a statement I’m glad they didn’t let him off for probation he’s got a lot of time in solitary to think about his actions they should put them in population…
Look at the bright side at least he not doing this time in Louisiana 👀
Why is that the bright side?
Bitcoin will stay as a risky investment as people still believe to sell it at some point to turn fiat. Rather than wait for mass adoption and buy commodities with bitcoin, “Don’t be greedy, hold some, sell some, trade some.
If Thomaslogan is holding, it will probably go up, technical analysis does not matter when the worlds richest man Pumping in crypto so hard! We’ve only just started since Thomaslogan is fueling the rocket for take of…. Let’s put a shiba on the moon

I do thank him and recommended him for those out there who are confused about trading and forex too should try investing with him. His trading services is working very awesome
Saw Thomaslogan first time in New York City 2019. He teaching towards financial freedom is highly commended.
I made a lot of cash back then in 2017 trading BTC I didn’t trade myself though. I had a trade but when I lost touch with him, I stopped trading but now I see the rapid increases I’m back at it. Still looking for a trader. I’ll try yours thanks
He has really made a good name for himself
Sham trial by media and mob.
He will appeal this farce.
One the bright side GF is drug free and has committed no crime in over a year.
🥳👏🏼
The bright side is that even if chauvin gets out early, most folks wont want him breathing. Because taking the law into your own hands is admirable, right?
This guy ruin the life of many people. And for what? He deserves to stay in jail.
media has the power to convict people
The judge specifically said his decision was made on the facts and evidence. Not the emotions of the people. Anyways that human trash can should’ve got life.
Can’t wait for the appeal. He’ll win because of the black juror wearing a blm shirt, jurors were threatened and Maxine Waters words. Hey at least Floyd has been clean and sober for a year now🤣
No, murder captured on video does though…
@Thrashfan sounds like you’ll be waiting forever. Black white brown or blue, excluding race here, we all witnessed a murder in broad daylight and a severe abuse of authority as the judge is quoted. The judges 22.5 page memo kills any possibility of an appeal case turning over the verdict. Maybe you can join chauvin with all the other pieces of human garbage with a one way ticket to Hell.
That 10 minutes cost you 22 year’s.
A police officer is supposed to be something different, a hero and an individual of honor. I’m not going to whisper so my camera or my partners camera / audio don’t catch me saying it, Chauvin you can’t win….
To me it doesn’t make any sense that he said condolences to the floyd family when he caused it
How he gon act like he have no regrets?
So what are we supposed to do as average ordinary citizens just trying to make it in this life.
On one side we have the have the hardcore cold hearted trained police Force on the other side we have the mass gatherings of rebellion taking advantage of an opportunity to cause chaos and destruction and grow in Numbers. I have one ? Witch side will do the right thing?
I have an understanding that if you see a drunk driver or a crime you make a call. well one thing missing, they call it a brother hood now, a gang and is considered taboo and betrayal to turn on your fellow member I’m talking about both the gangs of the police Force and the gangs of the criminals. Change is needed. Enough said …
