      Ex-Officer Derek Chauvin sentenced to 22 1/2 years in prison for killing George Floyd, whose dying gasps under Chauvin’s knee led to reckoning on racial injustice.http://apne.ws/73tgoE9

          The punishment handed out Friday fell short of the 30 years that prosecutors had requested. With good behavior, Chauvin, 45, could be paroled after serving two-thirds of his sentence, or about 15 years.http://apne.ws/TScvgl2

          "A conviction for the offense carries up to 20 years in prison and a fine. A conviction for producing counterfeit currency similarly carries a maximum sentence of 20 years imprisonment and a fine, as does a conviction for merely possessing counterfeit currency"

          Why is it important to say “the fired WHITE police officer”? Shame on you. It shouldn’t matter and yet you, as a supposed news source, stoop to race. Expected from news hack race baiters: @MSNBC race lady @JoyAnnReid @TheRevAl @donlemon @RepJeffries @CoriBush @JamaalBowmanNY

          This headline is what’s killing our society. Labels to force an agenda against or for one race IS racism. You know it and consciously injected it....sad.

          I what possible way is his race used in this lede except to further incite division and hatred among your readers? While racism was charged as the for Chauvin's actiins, it was never proven in court. YOU are the problem too, #FAILEDnewsmedia. And #SHAME on you for it.
