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.
