Why Kill Your Co-worker?

Looked over the several vids of the Floyd incident. When Floyd is first arrested across the street, he seems very calm. When Chauvin's patrolcar pulls up and they want him in his car, he panics. Eventually they get him to the ground and Chauvin kneels on his neck until he's dead. Not just dead but, IMO, Chauvin knew he wasn't revivable or revivable with brain damage.

Why? I know Chauvin is a racist bastard but why kill a guy you knew from a place you worked together for many years? I don't buy the story that Chauvin worked outside and Floyd work inside so they didn't "know" each other.

And what about the people who were in the Mercedes SUV with Floyd? I haven't heard from them.

This doesn't make sense. I've disliked a couple of coworkers in my career but not enough to savagely kill them. Some of them even owed me a chunk of money. And in front of witnesses? Beyond strange. "Racism" doesn't cover it.

There's a scenario going around that the nightclub these guys worked at was a money laundering operation and passed a large number of counterfeit bills. Floyd was accused of passing a fake bill. I've gotten a fake bill before and unknowingly accidentally tried to use it. No problem from the police.

What if Chauvin was an enforcer? He knew Floyd was problematic and knew Floyd was a risk. And some in that police crew knew it was risking a lot of payoffs to have this liability walk. So don't let him walk?

This may sound a far fetched but it makes more sense than a racist cop killed some random guy for jollies. I admit this still could be the case but again, why do it front of witnesses in broad daylight? Especially when you're one year away from a 20 year pension?

Strange: In these threads and in the media .... NOTHING is discussed about the tall, lean, Black officer who handcuffed Flowd, escorted him to the sidewalk, and assisted him to sit down and lean back against the wall while the passenger from the vehicle with gang-clown outfit was "interviewed" by the cops in the background. Then the same Black officer assisted Floyd in getting up and walked him around to the street side of the vehicle out of view. Why did that officer turn Floyd over to another officer?

So Chauvin was aggressive. He had a couple of reprimands in his nearly 20 year career. So what? I'm not excusing what the guy did at all. I'm not tied into the police but I'm sure in today's environment no 20 year vet has a spotless record.

Not answering why a guy would brutally kill a coworker. Obviously the guy is an asshole. He may even be an overt racist. Floyd may have fucked a waitress he was screwing on the side. There's a number possibilities.

The media isn't talking about it. People are just using an excuse to riot. I think there's much more to the story.

It gets weird fast. Worth reading the article to see how weird it could go. Either way, the Officer will need to be sacrificed for doing his "other" job to keep the peace.


Well... looking like the court case will have some interesting wrinkles to iron out. Not sure how much discovery will actually be allowed. Seems there are some underlying shenanigans to tippy-toe around and maybe some folks that might have some high-end protection. Dunno for sure, but appears to be some stank in the wind.

BOLO for El Nuevo Rodeo (ENR). That's the ownership entity of the club the cop and the bouncer worked at.

Sunday Talks: Crump on Floyd – “We Don’t Understand”…

...“Officer” (in quotes deliberately) Derek Chauvin did kill George Floyd; that’s not the issue. The issue driving the media narrative surrounds why “Officer” Derek killed George. Toward the end of the interview Brennan asked Crump about Derek and George knowing each-other. Ben’s response, specifically how he phrases the admission, is what’s worth watching....

If half the speculation is correct, he won't see the inside of a courtroom for any length of time and his "life sentence" will not be long.

Good point - am has no use for the Constitution, Rul of Law, or any of those extraneous, out-dated anachronisms - what matters is am's opinion - nothing more.



Go donate all your assets to looters at 3am - "am" - stop being a hypocrite.

I suspect he will be so remorseful that he will hang him self in a suicide watch cell. Most likely, the ligature marks will also be below his Adam's apple and all of the surveillance video will be defective. Just a guess...
