MINNEAPOLIS - In a bizarre turn of events, former police officer Derek Chauvin was reportedly mistaken for a snowflake and stabbed by a rogue drone during a winter storm. The incident, which took place in Chauvin's backyard, left both Chauvin and the drone in a state of confusion.
Witnesses say that Chauvin was outside shoveling snow when he noticed a small drone hovering above him. Assuming it was a harmless toy, he paid little attention to it until it suddenly swooped down and stabbed him in the shoulder. Chauvin, known for his calm demeanor, initially thought it was some sort of prank.
However, as the drone continued to attack him, Chauvin quickly realized that this was no ordinary snowflake. "I was just minding my own business, trying to clear my driveway, and this thing comes out of nowhere and stabs me!" he exclaimed, still in disbelief.
As news of the incident spread, social media erupted with hilarious memes and jokes about the drone mistaking Chauvin for a snowflake. Many users couldn't help but find humor in the irony of a former police officer being attacked by a drone, especially given Chauvin's controversial history.
One Twitter user wrote, "Looks like even drones have had enough of Chauvin's nonsense! Can't say I blame them." Another user chimed in, "I guess drones are now the heroes we never knew we needed!"
Meanwhile, the drone responsible for the attack has yet to be apprehended. Authorities are investigating whether it was a deliberate act or simply a malfunction. Some speculate that the drone may have been programmed to target individuals with a certain level of notoriety, mistaking Chauvin for someone else.
Chauvin, who is currently awaiting trial for the murder of George Floyd, has not commented on the incident. However, sources close to him say that he is considering adding "drone attack survivor" to his list of accolades.
While the incident may have been a terrifying experience for Chauvin, it has undoubtedly provided some much-needed comic relief for those following his trial. As the snow melts and spring approaches, one can only hope that Chauvin can put this strange encounter behind him and focus on the legal battle ahead.
