Former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin has been stabbed by another inmate at a federal prison in Arizona where he's serving time for the murder of George Floyd.
Floyd, who was Black, died on May 25, 2020, after Chauvin, who is white, pressed a knee on his neck for 9½ minutes on the street outside a convenience store where Floyd was suspected of trying to pass a counterfeit $20 bill.
Very often writers will defend their “officer involved shooting” BS by saying something like “oh he’s innocent until proven guilty”
Motherfucker, this guy is CONVICTED. You’re allowed to say without ambiguity that he murdered George Floyd because that is the official opinion of the US Government on the matter unless it gets appealed and overturned.
I could almost see it as an author who is trying to acknowledge that the outcry was that black lives matter and, as such, the murder had a racial element to it. I’d probably get rid of everything after store because the topic of the piece isn’t about what Floyd was doing. You might also consider being more explicit about your motivations for bringing up race and making it two sentences: one about how Chauvin murdered Floyd and another about how the white on black murder sparked a big conversation about race. That would, of course, be giving the benefit of the doubt which is a hehexd kind of situation.
the fuck is this phrasing
the author, who is white,

“Some people say, that the former officer was involved in death of Mr. Floyd.”
