Below is a post that was pulled since it hits on what may have really happened it was given to me by a trusted freeper and I added several things to it as well.

Here it is:

To All - Thread was pulled - possibly because of this comment:

Former MPD(Minneappolis police dept.) Officer Derek Chauvin Has Been Taken Into Custody In George Floyd’s Death, TBP wrote:

Interesting perspective: Staged Event?

Here is a comment that was removed from facebook that tells a tale that makes so much sense I had to follow it.Many thanks to yet another brilliant Freeper for firing it my way.RG. I have edited it down some and added a few things here and there.

................

The author begins by claiming that the officers had to be involved with “something” but nothing adds up.The author claims there is a possibility of more theatre here:

“I think(the author not me) there is at the very least the “possibility”, that this was a filmed public execution of a black man by a white cop, with the purpose of creating racial tensions and driving a wedge in the growing group of anti deep state sentiment from common people, that have already been psychologically traumatized by Covid 19 fears.”

(A powerful statement that could not be edited)

Racial events involving guns are all too predictable as was this event.Especially, with Trumps numbers rising in the black community.

“Consider these points and contrast them to every other police brutality incident you’ve ever seen.”

The filmed portion of the incident was about 10 minutes long. In that amount of time, three officers are holding the handcuffed George Floyd, down on the street. You only know that because of the pictures taken from across the street. You can’t see the other two officers in the video because they are behind the vehicle. During 8 minutes of the entire video, the officer has his knee on George Floyd’s neck, which is not taught or approved by any law enforcement agency.

(after about 4 minutes much of what I have read suggests the perp would have been near death or dead)

Other than an Asian cop there is no shouting or voices by the cops,WTF,this is not normal.

“Additionally, the police had no goal. They weren’t trying to subdue him for arrest, he was already handcuffed and all they needed to do, was place him in the back of the car. There is no plausible explanation for taking him to the ground and having three men on top of a handcuffed man, a knee placed on his neck. Mr. Floyd presented no threat and was not resisting. The only goal that there appeared to be was exactly what happened:

“To be filmed brutally killing a black man”.”(this was an execution on film perpetrated by the four cops,intentionally for some reason we can only speculate)

“Think about this, these officers did not care about being filmed, in fact the officer stared into the camera with soulless eyes and an emotionless face, reminiscent of an assassin, as he knowingly killed an American Citizen. None of the officers spoke among themselves or did they speak to Mr. Floyd. They did not respond to his pleas for life.(extremely unusual) They just sat and kneeled on him until he passed out and then waited an additional 4 minutes after Mr. Floyd lost consciousness to ensure that Mr. Floyd was dead and could not be revived.”( a vivid explanation of what happened,and truly bizarre)

“The bystanders are verbally communicating to the officers, that he isn’t breathing. Unlike any other similar incident, you never see the officers getting on police radios. You never see or hear them calling dispatch for backup. No other police units arrive on the scene and strangely enough, the crowd does not seem to grow either.”

(little makes sense here,where are all the other cops,where are the people?)

Finally an ambulance is called Floyd is “flopped” on a gurney and taken to the hospital where he is pronounced dead.There were extenuating circumstances.(see link below) He was under the influence and did have other ailments that entered into the situation. But, after having his air cut off for as long as he did it was a fate comple.

....................

Seems there is another side of Floyds life that has remained unexposed. It’s here:

https://thewashingtonsentinel.com/breaking-minneapolis-suspect-george-floyd-appeared-in-porn-videos/

Seems Floyd was featured in at least one porn video where he and three other black men had rough sex with one girl. It’s anything but art.More like rough sex than anything else. Here is a clip from the link above that also suggests that Floyd’s death is more complex than seen in the video.

Floyd is heard saying “I can’t breathe” on the video, but a recently released autopsy says that the suspect did not die from asphyxiation.

The autopsy released on Friday asserts that there was “no signs of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation.” Many speculated that the officer essentially strangled Floyd by pinning his neck. But the autopsy says this is not how Floyd died.(had to be a huge contributing factor)

Instead, the autopsy attributes Floyd’s death to “being restrained, his underlying health conditions, and any potential intoxicants in his system.”

What ever happened during the arrest on Monday, it appears that we are learning more about the life of George Floyd — both the good and the bad.”end clip #2.

....................

Shortly after the video(initial video of Floyd being choked) went viral, a fake Facebook page supposedly belonging to the officer, at the center of the murder appears and pictures are uploaded that say “Stand your Ground” and “Trump 2020”. A picture of the cop with a red ballcap that says “Make America White Again”. A friends list populated with obvious sock accounts and people clearly not his friends.

This is the same kind of fake Facebook stunt that happened with a group made to look like support for the men involved with the Ahmed Aubrey case.

(Now its looking all too contrived not to have been explicitly planned.)

Is it mere coincidence that this happens the week after “race” becomes a major political issue after the Biden “You ain’t Black” gaffe, started to threaten the black vote the Democrats so desperately count on?(no way this is coincidence!!)

Is there a political advantage not to arrest the officer immediately especially with the video evidence?

“Is it mere coincidence that this happens right about the exact moment the COVID-19 fear campaign falls apart, and after it has psychologically traumatized the entire country and got everyone at each other’s throats and suicide attempts are spiking? Is it mere coincidence that this happens after the Auhmed Aubrey case... Which somehow eluded the mainstream media completely until two whole months after he was killed? When has that ever happened?(brilliant stuff here) Timing issue? Is it mere coincidence that Supreme Race Baiter Obama was making videos a couple weeks ago “connecting COVID with “Systemic Racism”?”

FINALLY....‼️‼️ this entire scene plays out with the cop car and license plate that says “POLICE”. The plate was perfectly framed for maximum subliminal impact. This also means he was literally just 1 foot away from the back seat of the police car. These cops thought it was smarter to kill a black man on camera, than to pick him up and move him one foot into the back of the police car.(what was the motivation to kill the perp?)

https://quillette.com/2019/05/29/its-not-your-imagination-the-journalists-writing-about-antifa-are-often-their-cheerleaders/

Seems the antifa gets a lot of favorable press from the same 15 journalists over and over and over. Here’s a few clips from the piece.I noticed it from Clarice Feldman’s current piece in the American Thinker.
Here’s a clip:
On February 1, 2017, Milo Yiannopoulos was scheduled to give a talk about free speech at the University of California, Berkeley. But he was prevented from speaking by a group of 150 or so masked, black-clad members of a then-obscure movement calling itself “Antifa.” The protestors caused $100,000 worth of damage to the campus and injured six people as they threw rocks and Molotov cocktails. Nine months later, again at Berkeley, an “anti-Marxist” rally descended into violence as approximately 100 masked Antifa members harassed journalists and beat rally organizers and attendees.

and this:

That correlation turned out to be quite pronounced: Of all 15 verified national-level journalists in our subset, we couldn’t find a single article, by any of them, that was markedly critical of Antifa in any way. In all cases, their work in this area consisted primarily of downplaying Antifa violence while advancing Antifa talking points, and in some cases quoting Antifa extremists as if they were impartial experts.

These journalists include, for instance, Kit O’Connell, a self-identified “proudly Antifascist” “gonzo journalist,” whose work often reads like an FAQ that one might find on an Antifa web site. In one piece, for instance, he wrote that protestors wear masks so that they may “creat[e] a sense of unity and common purpose [as they] protect other activists from attacks by police and fascists.” Another article is bluntly (and somewhat ominously) titled “Nonviolent Activists Must Never Work With Police.”

Feldmans piece is here:

Missed Keith Ellison on FNS?

Fox News Sunday, from web page: "Minn. Attorney General Keith Ellison discusses the George Floyd case that has sparked outrage across the country."

Can think of a few questions I'd ask Keith:

1. Why did you tweet a photo of you smiling and holding the Antifa handbook with the comments "this should strike fear into the heart of President Donald Trump."

2. Why is the daughter of Minnesota’s Governor (Hope Walz) sharing information in tweets about National Guard movements & capabilities to Minneapolis rioters?

It might be worth watching Cornel West for laughs. Then again, my outrage may outweigh any humor factor. And Pelosi being interviewed by Snuffle-up-a-gus? OMG that’s barf-worthy on the face of it.

Keith Effiing Ellison!!!
He’s probably in on this. The governor’s daughter is.

I wonder if George Floyd is actually dead.

To: Alas Babylon!; All

This is actually fairly ‘big’ news ... not hearing much talk about it. I’ve been following pretty closely .... glad to see this seditious weasel ‘outta there’. The only person probably sad about it is Wray.

BOOM – Dana Boente Removed! – FBI Chief Legal Counsel Forced to Resign…
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2020/05/30/boom-dana-boente-removed-fbi-chief-legal-counsel-forced-to-resign/

A few brief excerpts so you know how important this is:

Finally, the DOJ has moved to remove one of the biggest background corrupt officials within the FBI. According to multiple media sources FBI chief legal counsel Dana Boente was forced to resign on Friday. Finally, sunlight has removed a very corrupt player.

In prior positions as U.S. Attorney for Virginia; and while leading the DOJ National Security Division; and then later shifting to the FBI as chief legal counsel under Chris Wray; Dana Boente was at the epicenter of corrupt intent and malign activity toward the Trump administration.

My educated hunch is the July 12, 2018, letter from the DOJ/FBI that was fraught with false information and purposeful lies to the FISA court, is really the issue that DOJ Bill Barr could not avoid. The lies within the letter are just too brutally obvious, and contrast heavily against revelations coming from the outside USAO’s that Barr has brought in to review all of the prior DOJ and FBI activity.

Why do I think that’s the final straw? Because if you take that moment in time and start working backward what you find is demonstrable and provable evidence that Dana Boente was one of the original Trump-era officials who participated in protecting “spygate” and using his support of the Mueller investigation as an internal weapon. Remember, all the corrupt FBI players on Mueller’s team reported to Boente, including David Archey.

Dana Boente is enmeshed in all of it: the Wolfe case and cover-up, the Assange case and cover-up, and the hiding of documents in the Flynn case and cover-up. Boente’s role as a manipulative fixer to protect the ongoing corrupt action of the Mueller probe was exactly why FBI Director Chris Wray hired him.

Taking out Boente now exposes the complicit nature of FBI Director Chris Wray; who, it appears, AG Bill Barr is being forced -by new discoveries- to leave Wray naked to his enemies.

I am speechless with these D Mayors —in the midst of riots, burnings, lootings-—concerned about these travesties occurring with complete disregard for ....wait for it....SOCIAL DISTANCING !

Minnesocold Mayor Frey passes out masks to the protestors & rioters. Thank God..if you’re intent on destroying the city, please do it safely.

There are no words for this idiocy.

There have been many statements floating around that Officer Thao is Derek Cauvin’s soon to be ex-wife Kellie Chauvin.

Her lawyer issued the following statement denying this, but did say Kellie’s brother was a police officer in St Paul. His name was not revealed.

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/may/31/kellie-chauvin-derek-chauvins-wife-not-sister-tou-/

I also read an interview from owner of the prior dance club/bistro where Chauvin worked security. Owner said he was, at times, very quick to “overreact” in situations at the club and customers made several complaints about him being “too rough”. She also said she did not think Chauvin and Floyd worked the same shifts. I am sure more will be revealed as to whether they knew each other and if there were problems between them.

911 call was released and over of the store described Floyd as being “very drunk”.
He was supposedly with a woman in a blue van and caller also she was also “drunk” and not acting “right”. I haven’t read any information about her....has anyone else?

Just a lot of really weird things about this whole incident.

911 call released from the George Floyd incident. It is CNN....so who knows if transcript is correct.

Watched Fox News Sunday and was sorry I did.
Senator Scott said the president’s tweets about the riots are not constructive. He says that he “spoke to the president about how to constructively address the nation during a time like this.”
Could you possibly be more condescending to President Trump? Maybe you missed the speech POTUS gave at NASA. You know the one that most of the media did not show?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXYC8dCjGvY

Get a grip Senator Scott and get off your high horse. So sick of this sanctimonious “know it all” whose support for POTUS is marginal at best.

One thing for sure with all of these riots and close contact: (maybe) - if the doom and gloom forecasters like Fauci are correct, there should be a HUGE spike in new Corona cases two weeks from today. The contact tracing that results should be very interesting.
