Derek Chauvin Seriously Injured In Arizona Prison

Derek Chauvin, the former police officer in Minneapolis who was convicted of murdering George Floyd, was stabbed by another inmate and seriously injured Friday, according to the Associated Press.

It's revealed in the report that the attack happened at a medium-security prison that has been plagued by security lapses and staffing shortages where he's been held. The individual was not authorized to discuss details of the attack publicly and spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity.

Mitt Romney was marching down the streets of Washington, DC, chanting 'Black Lives Matter.' Mitt Romney. And this is a cop we're talking about.
