So this probably was NOT a random police killing of a Black man, but some kind of a beef between the two of them! Chauvin has already been charged with Third Degree Murder and Manslaughter. In light of this new information, I would not be surprised if the murder charge was escalated.
Either NBC or PBS news organization (NBC or PBS are the only two that I watch) interviewed the owner of the El Neuvo Rodeo and he only mentioned that Floyed worked there as a security officer and had been recently laid-off due to the pandemic.

I wonder why he didn't mention that Chauvin worked there too? Hmm
