False claim targets wife of officer charged in Floyd's death

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Amid reports that the wife of the white officer charged with murder in the death of George Floyd filed for divorce, false social media posts emerged claiming her brother was among the officers involved in the arrest.

“THE PLOT THICKENS!” shouted a Facebook post Saturday claiming that Derek Chauvin's wife, Kellie Chauvin, was the sister of an officer captured on video standing by as the 46-year-old black man cried out for help.

But Kellie Chauvin is not the sister of Tou Thao, one of the officers on the scene.

“Tou Thao is NOT Ms. Chauvin’s brother. I would GREATLY appreciate help putting that rumor to rest,” Amanda Mason-Sekula, her divorce lawyer, said in an email. “Her family has been harassed and threatened based on multiple incorrect reports.”

2. Yep.

3. There were some very ugly speculations about Kellie here,based on her Asian race (submissiveness)...

...based on having spent part of her childhood in a refugee camp ("married one of the guards" ) , greed ( "making sure to protect the assets" ) , and cruelty ( "she knew what he was like when she married him" ) .

Only a few posters in that rather long thread noted the glaringly obvious: abused women cannot leave their abusers without risk to their own lives, and that might have played a part in her sudden divorce filing when he was safely in jail.

We don't know this -- but then we don't know anything else about her, either. At least we now know the Asian cop is no relation to her.
