Derek Chauvin's police badge will be destroyed, and his badge number — 1087 — will never be assigned to another Minneapolis police officer, officials said Thursday.

Chauvin, the former cop serving a sentence of more than 22 years for the 2020 murder of George Floyd, returned to the public psyche Thursday after the City Council approved settlements of two lawsuits against Chauvin stemming from incidents three years before he encountered Floyd.

In both 2017 incidents, police body cameras captured Chauvin kneeling on the neck of an unarmed person — images hauntingly similar to how he killed Floyd.

The settlement, combined with the anticipated release of the footage from each 2017 arrest, provided the occasion for Mayor Jacob Frey and Police Chief Brian O'Hara to announce what Frey called a "symbolic but important" attempt to purge the city of Chauvin's legacy.

"The Minneapolis police has a tradition to recycle the badge numbers that are no longer assigned to a current officer," O'Hara said at a news conference following approval of the settlements. "This badge, betrayed and so egregiously dishonored, will be destroyed, and the badge number permanently removed from our rosters so that no future Minneapolis police officer should have to wear it."

George Floyd died of a fentanyl overdose after attempting to destroy the evidence by utilizing a trick he was no stranger to and which had nearly killed him almost exactly one year prior.

Still one of the biggest lies ever spoken in these recent years. Again, anyone with a brain who actually watched all the possible video evidence knows for a fact Chauvin did not in fact "murder" Floyd. Chauvin did not forcefully put Floyd onto the ground, Floyd DEMANDED that those cops do that for him because he was freaking out and already was having issues breathing. Toxicology report showed high levels of methamphetamines, marijuana, AND fentanyl.

Yet somehow it was all a white cop's fault, and now he gets to wrongfully sit in prison, and destroying his badge number somehow makes a fucking difference.

It's a bit of metal, it's not fucking possessed by evil sorcery that makes you kill black people like it came from needful things

I hope they destroy the badge in a stupidly performative manner as if they just cast the bespoke trinket into the bowels of Mount Doom.

 

[Akari Is My Wife]

Is 1087 going to be the new 1488?

I hope so

LOL these clowns are acting like this badge is the Necronomicon and will turn its next holder into a Deadite.

How much is Minneapolis PD going to charge for a jersey if they retire Derek Chauvin's badge number?

People nowadays really like to create eternal, taboo objects of fear and horror to plague our minds and hearts.

Dates, names, places. If I was a hard core leftist, I’d want everyone to forget the name Chauvin and make him die in the pages of history. Not the event, the boogeyman of his name.

But Nnooooo they have to make sure no one forgets, no one misremembers the horrors. Even things ignored by history for generations (eg “dId yOU know that JinglE Bells has RAYcist origins!? Well NOW UOU DOOOO”).

Like the school shooters and bombers; we’re giving them what they want. Fame and immortality.

RETARDS

So, is this a new meme number now? 1087? Big ole rascist number - 1087. Probably not what they're going for, but if they understood anything, they wouldn't have declared it.

What happens if you add all the nigger numbers together?

1355+1087+1488 = 3930

If you search 3930 google returns a tractor. Tractors are used by farmers. Farmers were slave owners. Oh God it all comes full circle.

There's this old lame joke about a comedy club where the comedian up on stage is just shouting out a number and the audience bursts into laughter over and over again for each number. A confused newcomer asks what's going on and is told the numbers reference actual jokes that the audience finds funny.

We're there now with 3 or 4 probably more meme numbers, except instead of "audience member" we use the word "actual grown adult leftist faggot" and instead of laughter it's a panic attack.

Nobody was aware of this until they made it a thing. I'm an sure absolutely nobody who supported Chauvin even pictured that the guy had a number badge.

Until now.

Wow DOJ, you really showed them! You really defeated police brutality! You really ended racisme once and for all! You really

Finally, a new dogwhistle to spice things up, just what I needed

 

[ChromaQuack]

So is 1087 the new 1488? do they both exist at once as verbotten numbers?

How long until randomly naming the price for something is a coin toss of a chance for commiting a hate crime?

I can expect to see 1087 being a new tag to be seen in everywhere in LA. Good job leftoids. Keep being faggots. You'll be seen derisively like the ultra fundies in history books except gayer.
