Elon Musk reposted a video from conservative commentator Ben Shapiro calling for President Donald Trump to pardon the federal conviction of former Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin in the killing of George Floyd.

a federal pardon would simply transfer Chauvin to a state prison in Minnesota and I feel pretty confident he would chew his own arms off to stop that from happening

Thank goodness for the state conviction . . . (Which also shows Shapiro’s ignorance)

This would only cover the federal civil rights conviction. The state convictions of murder and manslaughter would still stand and he would still have to serve that sentence. (Unless Minnesota’s next governor is a Republican who would be more likely to issue a state pardon.)

A Republican governor in MN would first require the MN GOP to act normal for one election entire cycle, so personally I’m not worried about that as a possibility

Probably wouldn't be riots. He was convicted by the state so even if pardoned he's just immediately start serving 22 years in a state prison here.

Correct. Chauvin would much prefer a federal prison. At least until Elmo cuts all the guards.

Careful of not falling into the trap. Releasing someone like him is bait to start protests where Trump and Musk will insert the violence, blaming the peaceful protesters. This allows them to impose martial law, giving them reason to ignore 1st ammendment. Next will be the 2nd.

Great. Derek can spend the balance of his sentence in a state prison (where he'll be treated like a piñata at a May 5th parade). Right now he's in a low security prison, which is a lot nicer than Stillwater.
