In a recent incident at a Tuscon, Arizona penitentiary, Derek Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer serving a sentence for the George Floyd case, was stabbed multiple times reportedly in the name of Black Lives Matter. The alleged perpetrator of this attack is John Turscak, aged 52, and a fellow inmate who once worked as an FBI informant.

On last Friday afternoon in the library of the prison Chauvin was attacked and stabbed 22 times. The swift response of prison authorities and their “life-saving” measures were critical to keeping Chauvin alive following such a serious attack. Consequently, due to his actions, Turscak now faces several charges including attempted murder and inflicting severe bodily injury with an ‘improvised knife’.

As per real news sources, Turscak allegedly revealed to investigators that he had meticulously planned the attack on Chauvin over a month. He claimed to have selected Black Friday for his assault intentionally, as a symbolic gesture towards the Black Lives Matter movement. Had prison authorities not reacted promptly enough to interrupt the incident, Turscak asserted that he would have killed Chauvin.

Turscak’s past involvement with federal agencies makes this occurrence even more intriguing. In 2001 Turscak was handed down a 30-year sentence for committing crimes while operating as an FBI informant dating back to 1999 when he was recruited by federal agents in an operation against members of the Mexican Mafia – an organization he admitted joining in 1990. His work within this group included authorizing assaults for breaching Mafia rules and collecting “taxes” from other gangs seeking protection from the Mexican Mafia.

Turscak’s criminal history involves multiple occurrences of instigating violent acts–he confessed to killing another man during his time at Folsom Prison in 1990 and later authorizing another person’s murder in 1998. Initially slated for release from prison in 2026, depending on the outcome of his latest assault charges, Turscak may face additional imprisonment, extending up to 60 years.

In the aftermath of Chauvin’s stabbing incident, frustration arose within his camp as both his attorney and mother decried the lack of information conveyed by authorities regarding Chauvin’s status. Lawyers resorted to criticizing the Bureau of Prisons for their lack of communication about Chauvin’s whereabouts and health condition – voicing concerns over information withheld.

Three days subsequent to the attack authorities finally reached out to inform his mother about his state– stating that he was stable and under protection at a medical facility.

As this story continues developing, it reminds readers around the world of how important it is to continuously push for justice and refrain from further violence–imparting a vital message in these unpredictable times.
