The Minnesota Department of Corrections announced Wednesday that an officer recorded last month berating people who were peacefully protesting police brutality no longer works for the department. Paul Gorder, an employee of Minnesota Correctional Facility ― Stillwater for more than 30 years, could be seen taunting and shouting profanities at the group of protesters, largely comprising Black people. Gorder is no longer employed by the DOC,” a spokesperson for MN DOC said in a statement. Chauvin is being held at the Minnesota Correctional Facility – Oak Park Heights, the state’s only maximum-security prison, as he awaits sentencing. The prison is located less than 2 miles from Minnesota Correctional Facility – Stillwater.
