Newsweek article reports that Tucker Carlson is forcefully supporting Derek Chauvin.

'Nope! Done': Tucker Carlson Shuts Down Interview After Guest Said Chauvin Used Excessive Force

And it's funny how the Newsweek article opens:

Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Tuesday night ended an interview with a former New York City corrections officer after the guest criticized former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for using excessive force when he killed George Floyd.

They make it sound like the corrections officer believed Chauvin should have used less force to kill George Floyd.

to be sufficient to kill black people. No more overkill. If four shots will do the job, don't empty your gun. It saves ammo.

That's from Evan Hurst's detailed report of Tucker's show last night in Wonkette.com. Well worth your time.
