Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of killing George Floyd, was transferred to a federal prison in Texas almost nine months after he was stabbed in a different facility, the federal Bureau of Prisons told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Chauvin, 47, is now housed at the Federal Correctional Institution in Big Spring, a low-security prison. He was previously held in Arizona at FCI Tucson in August 2022 to simultaneously serve a 21-year federal sentence for violating Floyd’s civil rights and a 22 1/2-year state sentence for second-degree murder.

The transfer comes nearly nine months after Chauvin was stabbed 22 times in prison by a former gang leader and one-time FBI informant.

Is he a knife magnet? How does this keep happening to him? Did he do something wrong, or something?

Wait did this happen before? Or are you just talking about the instance where he got stabbed 22 times (which is impressive) a couple months ago mentioned in the article?

It's way funnier if you imagine it's him getting stabbed 22 individual times.

Maybe he was stabbed three times with a 7 point spork and once with a knife

Check out the very first sentence of the article you didn't read:

For the life of me, I can't understand why so many people think they can absorb an entire article through the headline...
