Accused officer’s wife files for dissolution of marriage, lawyer says
An attorney for Kellie Chauvin, the wife of ex-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, has filed for a dissolution of marriage, according to a statement from the Sekula Family Law office.
Derek Chauvin was arrested Friday and charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in the death of George Floyd.
“This evening, I spoke with Kellie Chauvin and her family. She is devastated by Mr. Floyd’s death and her utmost sympathy lies with his family, with his loved ones and with everyone who is grieving this tragedy. She has filed for dissolution of her marriage to Derek Chauvin,” the statement said.
“While Ms. Chauvin has no children from her current marriage, she respectfully requests that her children, her elder parents, and her extended family be given safety and privacy during this difficult time.”

This is why we prep, "we" being the majority of the board members here.

Even after 30 or so years expecting and preparing for a time like this, it is incredible to watch it all come unraveled on so many fronts so quickly, and all at once. Like we didn't already have enough on our plate as a nation...

Amen! I'm watching this in awe and stunned disbelief! And thanking God, 9nce again, for His leading and "nudging" over so many years that has us where we are.

Apparently Atlanta is getting good marks for their handling- compared to MN Mayor the testicularless wonder tho-
the bar is low

Atlanta’s approach to protests has been humane and so far decent in messaging; unlike in some cities where police in militarized gear arrest journalists and seem to take pleasure in “us v them” as opposed to being part of community

Atlanta Mayor: "You are disgracing our city, you are disgracing the life of George Floyd" You see how easy it is to denounce rioting? Why are so many Democrats still struggling to do this? https://twitter.com/CBSNews/status

Houston police officers hospitalized after protests
A number of Houston police officers were hospitalized after protests over George Floyd's death broke out in the city Friday, according to Houston Police Officer's Union President Joe Gamaldi.
"Our officers who were attacked are in the hospital, patrol cars ruined, businesses damaged," Gamaldi said in a tweet.
"This is not who we are as a city and as a community. We will protect your right protest, but we will not allow our city to decay into chaos."

Gamaldi did not say how many officers had been sent to hospital, or what condition they were in.
CNN affiliate KTRK reported more than 60 people were arrested after the protests in Houston, according to Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo.
Acevedo also said there were reports of looting and buildings with broken glass.

Detroit police officer hospitalized after getting hit by projectile
A Detroit police officer was taken to hospital after being struck by a rock thrown by protesters tonight, according to the city's police chief, James Craig.
Another officer was on a bike when a protester in a car tried to run him over, Craig said. That person has been arrested.
So far, Detroit police have made nine arrests -- seven of whom are from outside the city, according to Craig.
He added several police cars have been damaged.
“I will not stand by and let a small minority, criminals, come in here, attack our officers and make our community unsafe. Just know we are not going to tolerate it,” Craig said.

I'm not sure. The ears look identical... face shape seems wrong, and yes, the hairline doesn't appear quite the same, but it could be camera angle... the "action" shot was taken from sl8ghtly above, the mugshot is straight on. But the chin looks different, too.

WTF IS GOING ON??!!

Standoff between protestors and police in downtown Cincinnati. They are massed outside District #1. Drove to Hamilton around 6 this evening, protestors at the Butler county building.

Weird. Local news at 10:00 in San Antonio talked about the riots for maybe a minute. Are networks downplaying it or is it because they aren’t rioting in San Antonio yet? BTW, there’s a protest scheduled for tomorrow.

Are y’alls local news giving to the coverage it deserves?

Seattle
Los Angeles
Detroit
Richmond, VA
Washington DC
Bakersfield, CA

If POTUS declares martial law, the lockdowns probably go next. A president with martial law authority, last I knew, has almost complete authority.

don't forget rex84, and the coup d'tete bunch, and all the other assorted trash- if he has to go there, I'd expect he'd go there fully. We've already lost the appearance of legitimacy for this years election results, imho...

Evidently Portland OR had a protest, too, but I'm unsure if they are still ongoing. I saw a pic of people lying all over a roadway blocking it. No idea where it was but it was a daylight picture. I would have been surprised if they missed out on the "festivities." I'm not finding anything about violence, which is a nice surprise.
