Chauvin’s Prison Stabbing: Just Anarchy, Not Justice
● It’s interesting that expolice officer Derek Chauvin was stabbed just as the “The Fall of Minneapolis” documentary debuted, debunking myths surrounding the death of career criminal George Floyd (“Reel truth amid the Floyd lies,” Miranda Devine, Nov. 20).
In arresting a non-compliant Floyd — who was on drugs and suffered from both heart disease and COVID — Chauvin used a common restraint taught to police recruits, according to the documentary. Yet his trial was a narrative of lies that the biased Judge Peter Cahill proudly and openly weaved.
The day is approaching when the country will vote in favor of jurists dedicated to the law.

● I am as pro-police as they come, having served as a police and fire surgeon, so I have an intimate understanding of police officers’ mindset and behavior.
Derek Chauvin was problematic — arrogant, violent and cocky.
While I don’t believe he consciously intended to kill, it’s evident that he inflicted pain to impart a lesson.
Regarding the assertion about a conspiracy to kill Chauvin, I cannot say whether it is right or wrong. What is clear is that Chauvin played a significant role in the situation he now faces.

● With the recent stabbing of Derek Chauvin, it has now become clear that he is not just a victim of this attack, but also a victim of the progressive state.
With his conviction failing to be overturned, the state has evolved into a monster of tyranny and oppression.
It is now an existential threat to our rights, freedom, and liberty. The judicial system has failed the American people. Edward Sanchez

An insightful piece exposes the sanguinary ethos of the radical left (“Chauvin foes out for blood,” Miranda Devine, Nov. 27).
It seemed evident even at the time that George Floyd was not murdered by Derek Chauvin.
However, this did not deter anarchists from engaging in deadly riots — a chaos that persists to this day with Chauvin’s recent stabbing.
