Former Minnesota police officer Derek Chauvin was sentenced to 22.5 years in prison for the murder of George Floyd. Chauvin gave a statement during the proceedings with a cryptic and odd reference to peace of mind. MSNBC’s Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber reports on the rare outcome.

#MSNBC #GeorgeFloyd #DerekChauvin
I dunno, he kinda came across as a bit of a chauvinist, if you ask me.
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂NICE! GOOD ONE!👌
I see what you did there..❤️😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Chauvin has ALWAYS been a 💩 America just flushed the toilet!
Its a shame you escaped the flush….
True and so was Floyd
@Ryan Jardina both messed up. Chauvin and Floyd. they didn’t add anything positive to our society.
One more thing , his mom was talking about him , like he’s another person. Selfless. Bizarre
She’s got karenism going on.
😂
Mother is mother
So is that a reassurrance or a promise or a warning…
I do not like Chauvin’s eyes. He doesn’t want them to look anything but piercing and hard.
Mho.
I’d say he looked shocked and scared. That’s better than I’m showing no remorse when he was kneeling on George’s neck.
@Louise Collard his statement was odd
That’s is the Devil in him
What he meant was Two Things 1. HE WALKS OUT SOON OR 2. HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE OTHER THREE THUGS ( cops 👮♀️) ARE NEXT 😂😂😂😂
“Register as a predatory offender”!!!
That’s what the judge said.
That’s the part I loved!! Made me chuckle! ❤️
Chris Hanson would like to have a word with him 😂
Chauven looked like ” Jeremy ” from that Pearl Jam video from the 1990″s
The look on his face, 😆.
This guy has no remorse
someone’s “ring gear” just got tight.But that’s about to change.We need police,good police.Cull the bad,keep the good.
@Happy He will be in isolation. For his own good. He won’t be in the general prison population.
Couldn’t have said it better myself, it’s because of crooked racist cops like Chauvin that the Police gets a bad rap from the public and the media. I couldn’t agree more that we need to Cull the bad officers and keep the good ones that still swear by their duty to protect their area and serve the people.
Not happening
There are good police out there and had ones they even have Bad Correctional officers too crooked ones that sneak cellphones into prison and drug’s…
We NEED PEACE OFFICERS .
NOT DEATH OFFICERS . You see.
THERE ARE NO GOOD COPS!!
THE SO CALLED “GOOD COPS” KNOW WHO THE BAD COPS ARE !!
THUS .. MAKING “THEM” A BAD COP !!!
FOR YEARS THEY’VE WORKED WITH THEM, COVERED FOR THEM !! LIED FOR THEM !
THERE ARE NO SERPICO’S LEFT !!
He’s going to be in solitary for his whole 22 years
@Austin becouse it at most was manslaughter and not murder
@Austin it was not premeditated like you want it to be. As much as you hate the guy there is no evidence that he planned to end George Floyd’s life. Look up other cases where a fight escalated etc and you will probably find the same. However someone who plans a killing gets more.
@Roscko 562 well then let’s let Manson out too…he NEVER killed anybody! Maybe he can be YOUR next door neighbor!!
@Sisterof TheMoon they did let manson out….. He died
Bull crap, hes innocent
So now they need to hold all the other Officers accountable! The sad fact is, No one wins in these situations both sides lose a family member smh….
But one side lost their family member for 20+ yrs.
The other lost Floyd forever
Facts
Condolences for killing their family member! No apology!!
Chauvin may be referencing the Federal Civil Rights court case where he will receive additional sentencing. There may also be one other. I suspect he will spend the rest of his life or the next 40 years in prison.
“Peace of mind?” Having their loved one back would bring peace of mind. Sounds like some foolishness that will come up during appeals.
Trust me….they want the 24 million more than to have George back. They got paid for having someone take out the trash.
C’mon federal cases.. never let him see the light of day again as a free man
I’m betting he won’t last a year in prison unless they put him in isolation or sent him to one of those vacation prisons.
@Beve Smith I hope he get the dahmer solution
No other information he was referring to would justify him placing himself in the role of judge and executioner. He failed at the duties he swore to uphold and he deserves his sentence and more.
Wonder what happened to that smug, smirky, grandiose demeanor he displayed when he was choking the life out of a human being?
This guy was a failure of parenting, education, training and culture. But mostly parenting.
