To get a business license, a licensing employee told her she had to hire a certain number of off-duty Minneapolis police officers to provide security.

Santamaria was later required to come up with security plans outlining the number of officers needed per night. The officers insisted on getting paid cash, she said. She feared if she didn’t oblige, she’d lose her license.

Eventually, another officer helped schedule off-duty work: Derek Chauvin. He worked security at her club for 17 years.

“They were in charge and everybody had to go through them,” she said…

She sold the club in 2019. When Santamaria saw Chauvin pinning George Floyd on the pavement in the video that shocked the world, she recognized both, because Floyd worked as a bouncer inside the club in 2019.

El Nuevo Rodeo burned to the ground during the subsequent riots.

Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd, was stabbed by another inmate and seriously injured Friday at a federal prison in Arizona, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.

The attack happened at the Federal Correctional Institution, Tucson, a medium-security prison that has been plagued by security lapses and staffing shortages. The person was not authorized to publicly discuss details of the attack and spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity.

The Bureau of Prisons confirmed that an incarcerated person was assaulted at FCI Tucson at around 12:30 p.m. local time Friday. 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.

No employees were injured and the FBI was notified, the Bureau of Prisons said. Visiting at the facility, which has about 380 inmates, has been suspended.

Messages seeking comment were left with Chauvin's lawyers and the FBI.

"Derek Chauvin stabbed in prison: ​

Former Minneapolis cop is brutally attacked in medium-security Arizona penitentiary where he is serving 22 years for murdering George Floyd.​

Chauvin 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 22-and-a-half-year state sentence for second-degree murder.

Chauvin's lawyer, Eric Nelson, had advocated for keeping him out of general population and away from other inmates, anticipating he'd be a target.

In Minnesota, Chauvin was mainly kept in solitary confinement
'largely for his own protection,' Nelson wrote in court papers last year."

Interesting, isn't it?

That Chauvin wanted to serve his time in a federal prison vs a state prison because federal prison is safer.

Was he in general population there?
If so, it was a mistake IMO.

We want him to serve his time, not to be killed.

Kneeling on someones neck for an extended period of time is pretty insensitive too. If he doesnt respect others, why should we respect him

Chauvin is subhuman. I watched the video of him killing George. I watched the people around him telling him that he was killing George. I watched the trial. I don’t value Chauvin at all.

Not surprised.

George Floyd was no saint, but he didn't deserve his fate.

Derek Chauvin is a pox on the face of humanity.

I have seen some of the raw footage of GFs death and I'm still not sure what I see after all this time and a guilty verdict.

Is it really a murder, or a manslaughter, or not a crime? is it a policeman being bad on purpose, a policeman doing his job and making a mistake, or just a policeman doing his job?

Hes dealing all at once with an intoxicated man, who has committed a petty crime, who has a history of violent crime, and is very anxious and is resisting arrest, and at the same time, also trying to deal with multiple random members of the public shouting at him. He does have backup but they don't seem to be doing anything. It's all very chaotic and confusing.

No doubt in my mind Chauvin is guilty of the crime for which he was convicted of, unintentional second degree murder. If you have any doubts I'd suggest watching the trial.
