Significant development in the Minneapolis police killing: Minneapolis City Council Vice President Andrea Jenkins said Floyd and Chauvin knew each other for many years because they worked security at the same night club. Both men worked at El Nuevo Rodeo on Lake Street before their fatal encounter.
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.
The assumption among thin blue line supporters is that he resisted arrest. He committed no crime, was acquainted with the arresting officer, and as a security guard he understood the protocols.
The cop just killed him because he could. 18 previous complaints against him. Four cops watched him do it. Perfectly in line as far as they were concerned.
Pigs. Plain and simple. There are no good cops. Sometimes bad cops do good things. Don't be fooled. They will kill you in a heartbeat for no reason at all.
