Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of murdering George Floyd yesterday. Meanwhile, the police officer who killed Ashli Babbitt hasn’t been arrested. It was announced last week that he won’t be charged. In fact, we aren’t even allowed to know his name. This seems to indicate an unambiguous disconnect in the way justice is delivered in the United States today.
In his opening monologue last night, Fox News host Tucker Carlson asked an important question about the Chauvin jury’s verdict. He asked, “Can we trust the way this decision was made? That’s the promise of our justice system, that it’s impartial, that it’s as fair as human beings can make it, that the cop who killed Ashli Babbitt will be held to the very same scrutiny as the cop who was just convicted of killing George Floyd, that political or ethnic considerations will play absolutely no role in jury deliberations, that justice will be blind. Can we say all of that in this case, and if we can’t, why can’t we?”
It’s crystal clear that the answer to every part of his question is a series of resounding negatives. One does not need to be listening to the jury deliberate to know that they did not treat the case as fair as possible because political and ethnic considerations played a roll. In this case, justice was not blind. Not one bit. They convicted him of second degree murder, which means they believe Chauvin targeted Floyd for harm in a way that unintentionally led to his death. That is wrong prima facie, as several minutes of video leading up to him dying on the ground clearly indicates. Chauvin was trying to arrest him. He tried multiple times from multiple angles to get Floyd into the police SUV. It was Floyd who then fell to the ground.
Was it proper policing to put his knee in the back of Floyd? No. He was prone with his hands cuffed behind his back. Did he need to kneel there for nine minutes? No. But again, the bar for second degree or even third degree murder is much higher than poor policing. I would have been okay with a second degree manslaughter conviction, though one can argue that the burden of proof for the lower charge was not met based on the Fentanyl in Floyd’s system.
But we’re not here to debate that case. It will be appealed and we’ll get to relive all of this all over again. What won’t see a day in court or another headline on mainstream media is the case of the Capitol police officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt. Let’s look at the similarities first.
Derek Chauvin is a White police officer convicted for killing George Floyd, a Black man. The unnamed Capitol police officer is a Black man who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt, a White woman. Both deaths were widely considered to be unwarranted use of force against victims who were not legitimate threats to the officers or anyone else at the time of their deaths. Both were suspected of committing crimes before their killings. Both victims were killed on camera.

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
