No one should be stabbed in prison, but of all the people who are, this is who I feel the least sorry for.

I don't feel the need to wish people harm, but I also don't feel the need to care equally for everyone who is harmed. Sucks to suck.
For me it would be Sheriff Arpaio. That definitely happened in the good timeline where he didn't get a presidential pardon.
I would be pretty ok if Martin Shkrelli and Sam Bankman-Fried were stabbed in prison.
I would not. I would not be okay with anyone being stabbed in prison.
Prison shouldn't be about vengeance. I don't care how awful you are.
Okay but what about them getting stabbed outside of or inbetween prison?

Maybe it will encourage prison reform? I think about all the falsely imprisoned people and people sent to prison for nonviolent crime and my sympathy for the likes of sbf goes away.

At least we know part of the answer to: "How many times does one have to stab a pig to kill it." Clearly the answer is > 22.
Another former Minneapolis officer, Thomas Lane, who held down Floyd’s legs as he struggled to breathe, was released from federal prison in Colorado on Tuesday.
I feel like this should be the bigger story.
With a rap sheet like that, he should move down to Florida and apply to be a cop. They'll hire him in a heartbeat.
I guess one way for a snitch to get some rep back is to stab a cop 22 times 🤷♂️
That really sucks. I completely forgot to grab dip earlier at the store. Full bag of chips, and I gotta eat them dry watching my show tonight. Booo
What kind of dip do you usually get?
I was really excited when I saw bacon dip. Unfortunately it sucks, don't even bother trying it. I just stay with the tried and true sour cream and onion.
I like to make my own Ranch, and I add lots of fresh dill.
Fresh dill sounds nice, never grown my own.
Thats very awesome. I can only imagine how great that is
I needed that warning
I wouldn't wish my disappointment after buying it on anyone.
Is he a knife magnet? How does this keep happening to him? Did he do something wrong, or something?
I'd imagine there are a lot of people in prison who aren't especially fond of cops
I'd say outside prison, as well.
Then be infamous for triggering a huge number of protests and a few more murders of innocent bystanders.
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.

Perhaps this will motivate police unions to fight as hard against conditions that allow prison stabbings as they do against people being held accountable for murder.
Hah! Good one. They'll just fight to make it impossible to send a cop to prison no matter how many people they murder.
I could go for a ceaser salad
He committed murder he should be in a maximum security prison.
That's anger talking. It doesn't make sense for compliant, low risk inmates to be in maximum security prisons.
Ya, I am angry, but no, that's not why. If he isn't in almost 24-hour isolation, he's gonna get stabbed or beat or raped or killed. The best place to provide for that is a supermax. And I don't care if this makes me a bad person, but this asshole deserves to suffer for the rest of his life.

Nah nah nah. Guy needs super max for his own protection. In this day and age, officer safety is a real concern, even with disgraced former officers. Derek "Soft Derriere" Chauvin needs full 23 hour a day isolation interspersed with supervised private yard time. Anything less and I'm just petrified poor Derek won't survive. Shame.
