Derek Chauvin is having a really bad week

[mnmoderatedem]

His wife wants out. Wonder how long she's wanted this divorce, and what stories she has to tell about him.

1. Good for her...

I'm sorry she had to put up with him for ten years, but she sounds like a good person whose sympathies are with the right people. And this is her chance to get away from him.

2. Has To He A While

Sure, what he now did is horrific. But, if things were rosy, she'd likely be more grieving over the turn of events, not jumping immediately to "I'm out".
The situation likely needed one more straw, and he put a container ship on the camel's back.

3. Mrs Koz and I just talking about this.

She thinks that now that he is in jail, she finally feels safe enough to leave and he won't chase her down. And wanted to be out for years, but could not leave out of fear.
Sounds plausible to me.

8. This exactly. We'll hear about abuse down the line.

4. Ok, but he is still breathing...he deserves everything he gets and more...nt

5. She is Laotian and immigrated here in the 70s during war in SE Asia...

Hard not to make some premature assumptions about that marriage and what he might have been like as a husband.

I do hope she and her family is left alone.

7. That Must Have Been a Helluva Marriage, Ma'am

Wife looking over my shoulder said 'So he got himself a piece of property'....

6. Assets

If I were her, I'd be doing everything I could to protect some of the assets (does she have children, too)?

I mean, it might be that she really wants a divorce. I don't pretend to know. But in her situation, I'd be working with a lawyer to see that the assets were protected.

9. It can't be too bad a week for Derek. He's still breathing, isn't he?

[Joinfortmill]

10. His days need to get a lot worse.

11. What I can never get over is the cold-hearted callousness of the man

With George Floyd on the ground pleading for his life, he had his hand in his pocket with his knee on his neck, looking at the crowd to let them know just how few fucks he gave about George Floyd's pleas for mercy or theirs.

[mnmoderatedem]

12. yeah at one point he was looking directly into the camera while being filmed.

effectively saying, yeah I'm a cop, what are ya going to do about it?

He's finding out.

[JmAln]

13. Yeah, that was torture and intentional murder.

I also don't understand how those other cops stood around and watched. And why aren't they in jail also? This episode was systemic racism on full display.

14. Sounds like a woman

just waiting for a chance to get out alive

Go girl Go!
