we're talking George Floyd
Was really butters my biscuit is how George Floyd was literally an event caught on camera of what? 10 minutes of uninterrupted HD video of a guy being choked to death as onlookers and a health professional begging the police to show mercy. It was so flagrant a cop got in trouble for it! Do you know how badly you have to fuck up for that to happen?! It's truly going to watch Blue: the Movie and saying that the moral of the story was red.And Derek Chauvin owed Floyd money. They knew each other before the day Floyd was murdered. Again, reactionaries know they're telling lies. For them, it's not about the truth or facts. It's about exercising power over out-groups and making people upset/angry.
What? Is this real? I've never heard about this before. I remember that they worked security at the same place, but not that Chauvin owed Floyd money or that they even really knew each other.
Floyd's brother has stated the two knew each other. There was a DoJ investigation into the Minneapolis PD due to corruption from them moonlighting as security and creating protection rackets. The DoJ investigation was squashed, the bar where Chauvin and Floyd worked at burned down, and another bouncer changed his story to say he got Floyd mixed up with another black man working there. Allegedly, Chauvin was in charge of tips and didn't distribute them to employees, including Floyd.
