And all of that is gonna need to be served in solitary due to the fact that the gen pop is unsafe for him, as many are out for his skin

[AzureWolfOW]

He will be lucky if he gets out of prison alive

22 years in prison is not a slap on the wrist at all like the family lawyer said, even 10 years is a LOOOONG even more so in SNY/SHU/"Solitary confinement" etc. time is the worst punishment and it goes by astronomically slower inside while incarcerated.

The only reason why justice was served in this case, was because of the public uproar about it, just imagine how many other cases have gone unpunished !!!

He just looked really surprised to me, like he was not expecting that!

Derek shaved his head getting ready to join a prison gang for survival

22 years. If the cop was the one who was murdered by a civilian, it would be life. This is a start though. Start holding crooked cops accountable.

If Floyd's death wasnt on the news and social media all the time yall think this guy would've gotten the same sentence?

[stayswervin]

22 year is pretty much life for a guy like him he’s like 40-50 so eh

[soapwonder]

Again he didn’t show any emotion! He never showed any remorse, admitted guilt or apologized! Unbelievable!

[LostGeburah]

ofc they found him guilty, can you imagine the riots, i mean peaceful protests, it would have cause if that wasn't the case?

[chrissotrill]

I want an update . I’m surprised nobody goes to the prison w a camera to record him and how he’s doing now . Like does he get beat up a lot? So many questions

[StrykerRecords]

He start looking dumb asf when they said he was guilty 😂😂

[Adonnisjamalspage]

4:50 why was he not immediately handcuffed like every other citizen would have been in that same situation.

[whenwasthat]

It must be so terrifying when you get handed a sentence like that. I bet every time he abused his power flooded through his mind and in that same moment he pictured himself being beaten to death in prison. He chose this.

Just because you have a badge that doesn't mean you can treat people the way you like.

[iliapopovich]

I think he has learned something this day. As we say -"A person always learns in life, till death"

[jorgedm]

There are really people on here defending this murderer 😂 wow... Its crazy how much racism can blind people. If the roles were reversed, you guys would be screaming death penalty for a black man killing an officer

[tomlatenite]

I’ve always asked the question why was George Floyd even out of prison after that terroristic attack on that woman during the home invasion He should’ve gotten 40 years for that

[jjmarishka]

I know it’s not life but damn I think that judge made the appropriate decision 22 & a half years is good for that prick!
