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."

And just like that, racism was solved forever.

Neat! A new racist number.

And just like that, racism was solved forever.

Always nice to see the party of "The Science" and alleged haters of all things "Sky Daddy" succumb to tribal-level totemic ritual as an honest no-shit means to enact political change.

 

[Nuns with guns]

Derek Chauvin is an American hero.

 

[KiwiFuzz]

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

Be cool if it did, though.

In the thread about TV shows where I AM FULLY PREPARED TO ARGUE WITH EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU, I wanted to say that the one show that really needs a remake is "Friday the 13th," with the cursed antique store. That show was baller.

And seriously, I bet every little based cop gang is out getting matching tats right now. Get up on the scanner like "We got a 10-87 in progress at the corner of International and 35th. All available units from the BPD please respond."

Alright, so they're destroying the final horcrux of racism. Can we shut the fuck up about race now?

God, this country is gay.

 

[SlaanyChaser]

Good news, they solved racism for everyone

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.

Basically, the most extreme version of this thing:


That does sound vaguely amusing though, how do the numbers go? Do they just count 1 2 3? Do they start by picking random numbers and then insert CURRENT_YEAR after they explain that the numbers are references?

 

[Broadside]

It is part of them trying to hide the blame for it cause they fear any accountability for training Chauvin to do EXACTLY THIS SHIT in the situation.
Remember when they disassembled killdozer?
They scattered the parts of a BULLDOZER (lol) to the four winds across America. in hopes no one would ever reassemble it.

A fucking bulldozer lmfao.

Legends say that should someone claim all the pieces and reassemble it, the holy order of the IRS will be doomed...

 

[Snekposter]

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.

1087 is going to become code for TOTAL NIGGER DEATH. I can feel it. We already have all those memes of people being kneeled on, after all.

 

[Sniperwoof]

I heard if you whisper 1087 into a mirror five times Chauvin appears and chokes your monkey ass.

 

[Shark Senpai]

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.

3930, assuming the first two indicate 1939 because literally Hitler, and the second two indicate a date that's the 30th of a month, we find out that this corresponds to Batman, a renowned detective vigilante who uses force to stop crime. What does it mean.

I can't help but wonder if the Romans at the time of Christ's death are seeing what we're seeing now. Imagine being a legionairre out on morning patrols and everybody won't shut the fuck up about this random criminal that got strung up. Imagine walking down the street and seeing effigies to this random-ass drifter popping up on every corner. Imagine hearing the plebs cursing your empire because they finally did something about this long-haired hippie being a nuisance everywhere he goes.

1087!
1350!
1488!

all because some nigger killed himself

 

[BelUwUga]

New meme number dropped. Cool, cool, cool.

 

[Puff]

Fucking called it before I checked.

New meme number confirmed.

 

[Tanner Glass]

A lot of people are memeing but it's even stupider than that.

Retiring the badge number means no new cop will get it - something that does actually make sense. A lot of cops are superstitious about badge numbers - some will request numbers worn by retired family members, some cops play some version of their badge numbers for lotto tickets, and badge numbers worn by cops who were killed/murdered in a horrific way are considered unlucky - so 1087 will have some absolutely dark voodoo attached to it.

However, any potential cop who knows enough about Chauvin to know what his badge number was also knows how fucking scapegoated and railroaded he was and would never in their fucking lives apply to be a cop in the Minnie PD (or anywhere on planet earth). This is a move that actually benefits no one.

at first, people LOVED jesus. he was heralded rightfully as king when he enter jerusalem on palm sunday.

once he started calling the jewish political hierachies faggots and constantly roasting them, they turned public opinion somehow. not sure how, probably not to different than how they do it today. propeganda, played up his sort of trailer trash upbringing (imagine if some dude from your trailer park was claiming to be god, right?), his looks (jesus was ugly), and turned people against him

I am so sick of hearing about this dead nigger and the way the media treats his killer like literally Hitler instead of a glorified janitor who kneeled on a crackhead's neck for too long.

the kneeling had nothing to do with the negro's death.

the cop was like 190 and the negro was built like a fucking linebacker. his knee wasnt doing shit, the point of the knee is to keep the suspect from moving (its not a common position to find yourself in, its hard to try to get up and run away, thats why cops do it and its normal procedure)

the negro died because he suffocated from swallowing fentanyl. like all opioids, fenny causes respiratory arrest. fenny is extra potent and is typically administered through the skin (75 MICROGRAMS over 72 hours is a common therapeutic dose)....if you SWALLOW it, you will die.
