Well, I guess we will see what sentencing runs for each. One thing of note to me in this article is that Lane said he was trying to de-escalate the call and forgery situation and that Chauvin showed up and took over and went to arrest for forgery. I always felt it was a bit of overkill possibly the arrest itself so automatic and it sounds as if Lane might not have handled it the same way, the actual passing of a forged bill, and gotten to the bottom of it all and maybe even worked it out between the parties if he had handled it but we will never know...

The only one I feel badly for at all, he did try, is Lane. I can have a bit of sympathy for Keung and believe he had seen little of this kind of situation and a rookie as well but he spoke up not at all. I have absolutely NONE for Thao, the OTHER senior officer. He tries to say he was crowd control and he was BUT I remember when I noticed in the tape where the crowd was picking up what was going on more and more, as the minutes ticked by and the distress and attention grew, that the cameras and where this was taking place was not the best position (even the area camera, NOT just cell phones) and he seemed to start trying to strategically block camera views of what Chauvin was doing to Floyd and Floyd's distress. He chose to help cover what was going on rather than insist it be stopped. In fact, both Thao and Floyd seemed to bristle over the crowd upset over Floyd's distress and seemed to knuckle down to show the crowd they could do as they pleased. Chauvin particularly to show he could do as he liked... But I saw it in Thao too. Imo and my take on watching the awful tapes how many times over and over...

If any of the four deserve maybe a bit of a break it is Lane and he took the deal and at least took responsibility by doing so. He is the ONLY one who tried to get Chauvin to ease up only to be rebuffed by his senior officer. If these two think they should get a better deal than he took, I disagree. This isn't BAD considering, why are they holding out, do they think they'll get a better offer? i do not think the other officers are as guilty as Chauvin but if Lane was charged and took how many years, they deserve more but I guess on the other hand, Lane didn't have to take it either, he could have rolled the dice. I just don't know why these men would roll the dice BUT they have until October I guess to make a deal IF a deal stays on the table, they can/could withdraw it.

Inmate stabbed Derek Chauvin 22 times, charged with attempted murder

Inmate John Turscak, who stabbed Derek Chauvin 22 times, is charged with attempted murder. Chauvin was convicted of killing George Floyd.

An incarcerated former gang member and one-time FBI informant was charged Friday with attempted murder in the stabbing of ex-Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin at a federal prison in Arizona.

John Turscak stabbed Chauvin 22 times at the Federal Correctional Institution in Tucson and said he would have killed Chauvin had correctional officers not responded so quickly, federal prosecutors said.

Chauvin, serving time for the 2020 murder of George Floyd, pleaded guilty to two counts of tax evasion on Friday, March 17, 2023. (Court TV via AP, Pool, File)
Turscak, serving a 30-year sentence for crimes committed while a member of the Mexican Mafia gang, told investigators he thought about attacking Chauvin for about a month because the former officer, convicted of murdering George Floyd, is a high-profile inmate, prosecutors said. Turscak later denied wanting to kill Chauvin, prosecutors said.

Turscak is accused of attacking Chauvin with an improvised knife in the prison’s law library around 12:30 p.m. on Nov. 24, the day after Thanksgiving. The Bureau of Prisons said employees stopped the attack and performed “life-saving measures.” Chauvin was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Who knows what the truth is here? Imo he is guilty and deserves his sentence, I have been nothing but hard on him throughout, but this attack sounds pretty fishy... Oh they respond fast and perform life saving measures. A bit ironic. They became aware quickly but somehow this happened or access was allowed to happen...

An FBI informant and member of the Mexican Mafia gang. Okayyyy....
