Wife of George Floyd’s Accused Killer Derek Chauvin Demands Divorce from Ex-Cop

Kellie Chauvin, the wife of the former Minneapolis police officer charged in the death of George Floyd, has announced she is “devastated” over the situation and is divorcing her husband, according to CBS Minnesota. In a statement, a representative told the news station that her “utmost sympathy lies with his [Floyd’s] family, with his loved ones and with everyone who is grieving tragedy.” She is said to have already filed for the dissolution of her marriage to the former police officer, and asks for “privacy during this difficult time.”

Kellie belongs to the Hmong group, but her parent’s names are not known. Mrs. Chauvin was born in Laos in 1974, Her brother Tou Thao was also involved in the incident where his fellow officer and brother-in-law pinned George Floyd to death. At the Age of 3 she and her family moved to Thailand for safety, she stayed in a refugee camp from 1977-1980. In October 1980 She and her family moved to Wisconsin USA.

Her parents had her married off before she turned 18 to someone she apparently barely knew. During the course of the relationship (which Mrs. Chauvin says was abusive), she bore two children. She chose to get a divorce and move to Minnesota – her former husband died soon after.

It was in Minnesota that Mrs. Chauvin met Derek, and the couple have now been married for around 10 years.

Her Facebook profile – listed under Kellie Chauvin – says that “real and photography is my passion, so let me make you look good.” She was listed as self-employed and as a real estate agent at RE/MAX Results. The account has either been deactivated or deleted.

Either of the two:
1. He's also abusive to her and his kids. She's been waiting for the opportunity.

Or

2. They're trying to protect assets. Get a quick divorce. She gets everything. There is nothing left if he gets sued.

It’s surreal how they’re all connected. George worked with Derek at the same Latino club. And Derek’s wife is the sister of the Asian cop at the scene.

He didn't discuss no dropping of sanctions with Kislyak like they alleged. Dude was just discussing how to fight Islamic extremists.

I knew this will be your response, nitpicking what’s relevant to your mindset. Now I will give some detailed response about the declassified phone calls:
1) Flynn spoke with Kislyak multiple times apparently forgetting that the FBI counter-intelligence office monitors such calls;
2) Flynn conducted foreign policy as a private citizen; "During the Dec. 29 call with Kislyak, the pair discussed sanctions at length, despite Flynn’s denials later." By the way the ISIS situation in Syria was also discussed, Egypt was also mentioned.
3) And Kisylak argued that the Obama administration sanctions were aimed at damaging the incoming Trump administration just as much as they were the Kremlin."
4) When asked about it, Flynn lied to the FBI and to Pence all without wondering why the FBI was asking him those questions and all without considering that they might have been listening.
5) The lie to Pence got Flynn fired. The lie to the FBI got him prosecuted. And he pleaded guilty in open court. Twice. Under oath.

Even Fox News mentioned Flynn-Kislyak discussed about the Russian sanctions

Qstorm:
The autopsy report shows he died of heart attack not asphyxiation or strangulation so the prosecutors can't prove the knee on his neck killed him, that's why they are going for 3rd degree murder cos if they go for first degree with intent, he will most likely walk free.

True, but what the officers did helped contributed to his demise via heart attack. This still video showed 3 officers on top of George Lloyd.

Few minutes ago, the Vile Racist in Chief Trump took back his tweets yesterday about shooting looters. He said he did not mean it that way when he was confronted about the racial overtone of his comments emanating from the riots in Miami in the 60s. Another puke lick up from a mid stage dementia filled Trump. The next few months before Nov 3rd will be very interesting because Trump lunacy will be in full glare for the whole world to see.

#BREAKING Declassified Transcripts Reveal GenFlynn/Kislyak call was Diplomatic, No Discussion Of Dropping Russian Sanctions

The Flynn-Kislyak call transcripts exonerate Flynn and indict Mueller for deceitful sleight-of-hand meant to obscure the truth. There's a reason Mueller refused to turn the transcripts over to Flynn's defense team.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/read-flynn-kislyak-transcripts-of-conversations-during-trump-transition

Have you read the full transcripts yet? How is Flynn exonerated?

Ex-Police Officer Derek Chauvin has been taken into custody (not arrested, to protect his life); charged with 3rd Degree Murder and Manslaughter, the other 3 ex-officers Thomas Lane, Tou Thao, and J Alexander Kueng are still yet to be charged.

“Minnesota's third-degree murder charge means causing the death of another through a dangerous act "without regard for human life but without intent to cause" death.“

Where Does Trump's Phrase 'When Looting Starts Shooting Starts' Come From? Trump Tweet About Riots Quoted Southern Police Chief Who Called For Violent Crackdown on Demonstrators in 1967

President Donald Trump tweet early Friday on the civil unrest in Minnesota, which was deemed to have violated Twitter rules for glorifying violence, contains a quote which is drawing attention given its historical context.

“When the looting starts, the shooting starts,” Trump wrote, just before 1 a.m. ET on Friday.

In 1967, Walter Headley, who was the Miami police chief at the time, made the same remark when talking about measures he planned to take against demonstrators.

“We haven’t had any serious problems with civil uprising and looting, because I’ve let the word filter down that when the looting starts, the shooting starts,” Headley said. (via The New York Times.) He added, “We don’t mind being accused of police brutality. They haven’t seen anything yet.”

Headley, according to the Times, “attracted national attention in the late 1960s for using shotguns, dogs and a heavy-handed ‘stop-and-frisk’ policy to fight crime in the city’s black neighborhoods.”

Twitter cited the origin of Trump’s quote as the reason it labeled the president’s tweet in violation of its standards.


I'm totally against all acts of vandalism, looting, anarchy. The 'THUGS' were people from all racial background, why would Trump be inciting violence against American citizens.

The statement should never had been said by President Trump - a statement made during the most darkest times in American history - "when the looting starts, the shooting starts"...this is not good at all...nobody is supporting the looting and destruction going on. Trump is inflaming racial division which appeals to his base.

Do you see the reason people like me took umbrage at the Fat Orange buffoon worshippers on Nairaland. No single one of Trump lapdogs here condemned a Black man that was murdered for no reason after being cuffed and begging for his life. The only problem the Trump worshippers see is the looting. This is an ongoing problem in America. We all saw what happened to Ahmaud Arbery being executed by Father and Son Nazi combo and we knew about Eric Gardner six years ago in NY killed the same way George Flyold was killed in Minneapolis. The Orange pig lovers here would rather lick the rear of their White Supremacist lords than to support people that looks like them. That to me is classic Stockholm Syndrome.

Trump job approval falls to 2-year low in Rasmussen poll

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/499733-trump-job-approval-falls-to-2-year-low-in-rasmussen-poll

President Trump's job approval sank toward a two-year low on Wednesday, according to a survey from the right-leaning polling firm Rasmussen.

The poll released Wednesday shows 42 percent of likely U.S. voters approve of Trump's job performance, while 57 percent disapprove.

That's a net 4-point drop in approval since Friday when 46 percent of respondents said that they approved of the president, while 53 percent said they disapproved. The drop marks the lowest level for the president since Jan. 22, 2018, when Trump's approval rating was underwater, at 42 percent to 56 percent.

The latest figures also show that 30 percent of likely voters "strongly approve" of Trump's work in office while 47 percent "strongly disapprove," giving him a net negative approval index rating of 17 percent — the biggest margin since January 2019, according to Rasmussen's figures.

The poll comes as the president faces backlash, including heavy criticism from some conservative corners, over his tweets in recent days raising a conspiracy theory about the death of an aide to former Rep. Joe Scarborough (R-Fla.).



The crash in Trump’s approval numbers comes as public opinion about his response to the coronavirus pandemic trends in the same negative direction, and the U.S. death toll from Covid-19 approaches 100,000.

https://www.mediaite.com/news/trumps-net-approval-implodes-in-his-favorite-poll-down-15-points-in-3-weeks/

Historic SpaceX launch postponed because of stormy weather

Both President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence arrived to watch the liftoff.

The flight would mark the first time a private company sent humans into orbit.

It would also be the first time in nearly a decade that the United States launched astronauts into orbit from U.S. soil. Ever since the space shuttle was retired in 2011, NASA has relied on Russian spaceships launched from Kazakhstan to take U.S. astronauts to and from the space station.

With 2 1/2 hours to go before liftoff, controllers put the chances of launch at just 40 percent because of thunderstorms at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. Thunder could be heard as the astronauts made their way to the pad, and a tornado warning was issued moments after they climbed into their capsule.

France bans use of hydroxychloroquine as coronavirus treatment - https://www.politico.com/news/2020/05/27/france-bans-use-of-hydroxychloroquine-to-cure-coronavirus-283724

The French health ministry is banning the use of hydroxychloroquine as a cure for coronavirus, according to a decree published Wednesday morning.

"Whether [in doctors offices] in the cities or in the hospital, this ... should not be prescribed for patients with COVID-19," the ministry said in a statement.

On Tuesday, the country’s public health agency advised against using hydroxychloroquine outside of clinical trials. Shortly after that, the national medicines regulator suspended its use in clinical trials.

The moves follow The Lancet’s publication on Friday of a large observational study casting doubt on the benefit of hydroxychloroquine and another malaria drug, chloroquine, for Covid-19 patients. It also found an increased risk of heart problems and death.

Joe Biden Within 3 Points of Trump in UTAH; Trump Won by 18

https://www.mediaite.com/news/joe-biden-within-3-points-of-trump-in-utah-trump-won-by-18-points-in-2016/

President Donald Trump holds a slim 3-point lead — within the margin of error — over former Vice President and current presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in Utah, a state that Trump won by 18 points in 2016.

After weathering what is now months of bad news coverage with durable approval ratings and a reasonably close race with Biden, Trump has recently gotten a heap of bad polling news that continued Tuesday with the release of a UtahPolicy.com/KUTV 2 poll that shows Trump barely ahead of Biden, with 44 percent support to the ex-veep’s 41 percent. The poll had a margin of error of +/- three points, making this a statistical tie.

Trump won the Utah popular vote in 2016 by 18 points, but that margin was partially due to the performance of Evan McMullin, who won 21.3 percent to finish third behind former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The pollster identified a few other troubling data points for Trump in two of the state’s congressional districts:

The survey also shows Trump trails Biden in both the 2nd and 4th Congressional Districts, which both contain significant parts of Salt Lake City and County. In CD 2, Biden leads Trump 46-42 percent. In the 4th District, Biden is ahead 43-38 percent.

That distaste for Trump could have an impact on the hotly contested race in the 4th District. Right now, four Republicans are vying to be the party’s nominee to take on Democrat Ben McAdams in November. Former NFL player Burgess Owens is the current frontrunner in that race according to a Y2 Analytics survey, but the race is still wide open. Trump’s unpopularity could be a drag on the eventual GOP nominee in November. That might be key as McAdams barely squeaked to a win in 2018 in the heavily Republican district.

It’s curious that Trump is losing to Biden in the 2nd Congressional District, given that Rep. Chris Stewart, who represents the district, is one of Trump’s most fervent supporters in Congress. However, that is not expected to dampen Stewart’s chances to win another term as the district is rated “solid Republican” by several election forecasters.

Last week, Trump lashed out at Fox News after that network’s polling unit showed his approval cratering by 10 points, and Biden taking an 8-point lead over Trump nationally.

All of the COVID "hotspots" in the US are run by Democrats and what more? They all sent infected people into nursing homes en masse. No exceptions. COVID excess deaths are a result of a single policy repeated by Democrat state govs & their public health apparatus. A self-induced crisis, due to extreme incompetence & negligence by DEMOCRATS!!!

Is it really true that "Everything Trump Touches Dies"according to the book written by Rick Wilson?

The 2nd wave of covid 19 will be so serious

This is when the detective skills of Mr Edgar Imohimi is needed, the police officer who worked tirelessly against the 'badoo' menace in Ikorodu 3 years ago. His attention is once again needed as there are too much cultism bloodshed in Ikorodu.

A young life taken just like that.

Officer Derek Chauvin, already had a previous complaints against him dropped

Trump is still believes he has done a good job by twitting only 100k deaths...this guy is so heartless.

The lady has been sacked by her employer Franklin Templeton, I guess too much media

This is totally unacceptable, sometimes social media is the only thing that can help anyone in such a situation. What if there is no video clip, the man would have been in jail by now or even dead.
