Wonder how Chauvin got paid for his security gig? In “cash”?

It does explain (not excuse) a lot Officer Chauvin’’s behavior in the last moments of George Floyd’s life.

A distance-and-direction urination contest gone very, very wrong.

Not exactly that unusual for a cop to have previous run ins with a suspect. Especially career criminals.

“..Cop thought Floyd would spill the beans on cops involvement in the counterfeiting and money laundering at the door and took Floyd out....”

Agreed.
But I think it’s even bigger than that. It was an ordered and total hit-job to make it look like he died resisting. Whoever was in charge of the money laundering put the word out to take Floyd out because he knew too much, using counterfeit bills and was unstable. When the word came down that a counterfeit call came in, this cop did what he was told to do as he had no choice because of what he was involved in.
This definitely needs to be investigated further for sure.

From the article:

“Back two weeks ago on May 28, 2020, The Gateway Pundit reported — Fired Officer Derek Chauvin and George Floyd worked at the same south Minneapolis club as security guards up to the end of last year.

On Monday My 25th, Police Officer Derek Chauvin killed George Floyd during an arrest for passing a bad $20 dollar bill.

KTSP later reported that the two men both worked security at the El Nuevo Rodeo Club on Lake Street in Minneapolis.

On Tuesday CBS News reported that according to a former nightclub coworker the two men “bumped heads” at the nightclub.
The killing “might be personal.”
In Minneapolis, new details are emerging about a history of friction between George Floyd and former officer Derek Chauvin.

One former nightclub coworker tells CBS News the two men “bumped heads.”

How did Chauvin get caught?

It was a perfect crime.

Suddenly, a dozen security tapes, civilian videos, and body cam videos appeared out of no where!

Might be a set up.

Yes of course he purposely killed someone knowing he was on camera and with multiple witnesses.

Flloyd would have needed quite a bit of money to afford heart meds and doc appointments along with his drug habit.

"Killing Might Be Personal"

Sorry, it's already been conclusively established (by people possessing telepathic powers, I gather), that the motive was racism.

We know Chauvin was excessive and negligent in his actions. Due to conflicting autopsy reports, we don’t know that Floyd died of Chauvin’s actions (they surely didn’t help and there’s no excuse to not cease and resuscitate when unresponsive) nor does anyone but Chauvin know his reason for doing so. But from his whole demeanor throughout, I’d wager it wasn’t good.

The criminal complaint against Chauvin clearly states that the first two cops on the scene had their body cams running.

Chauvin arrived on the scene several minutes after George Floyd had been cuffed.

Floyd was resisting the attempt to put him in the back seat of the first car when Chauvin arrived.

If Floyd had not resisted, he might be alive today, unless the 11 ng of fentanyl in his blood is what killed him.

Suffocation is going to be tough to prove - zero trauma on Floyd's neck, throat, and upper back according to the autopsy.

In such cases, the police tend to be officious, threatening pricks simply because they can be. That influences opinions.

***********

They certainly can be. I was pulled over once for a minor traffic violation by a particularly nasty cop. Some of them are on power trips.

‘Personal’ and still MURDER

When the club closed (maybe due to the lockdown), Floyd and Chauvin were laid off. Chauvin still had his police job, but Floyd was poor and desperate and tried to pass a counterfeit bill during a business transaction.

A possible example of how the unnecessary lockdowns have led to deaths stemming from actions taken in response to the unemployment caused by the lockdowns, although none of this excuses the officer's behavior in any way.

If this personal animosity existed and led to this encounter (and I take that with a grain of salt), then it would completely dismantle the idea of floyd's death being racially motivated and this cop symbolizing the "systemic racism" that exists in the US, etc.

Given that this theory would destroy the narrative; it will never see the light of day in the media, other than for the talking heads to "debunk" it.

As far as being mentioned at trial; it will not help either the prosecution or the defense, unless the prosecution were to use it as evidence of intent to kill in order to silence floyd. The 'racist cop' narrative is already embedded into the public consciousness, so maybe adding this personal element (if true) can enable the prosecution to inject 'intent' into the argument in order to show that the cop was "racist" and had a 'personal grudge' against floyd.

If the prosecution can plant the seed that it was personal then the second degree murder charge becomes easier to prove.

AG Ellison is not allowing release of body cam footage - at least, not yet.

Racism was never in the picture. Do you have any evidence this was racial?

yea thought so

AND it suggests that this was not a racial incident.

The connections to Klobuchar need to be thoroughly investigated. If she was running interference for the cartels and protecting their hitmen (I suspect many public officials in both parties are on the cartel payroll) a proper Federal investigation could blow up the whole government, and relegate the two bit players Floyd and Chauvin to irrelevance.
