    I think it's hard to say the murder was racially motivated when they had a history of conflict with each other. Would have been nice to know this from the beginning, huh?

    Unless it promotes the liberal position, it isn't really a fact.

    Chauvin was probably jealous because his wife knew Floyd. That is why he assumed that long pose of dominance over Floyd's corpse. It was a first degree personal murder.

    I think something fishy was going on at the club and the cop made sure it didn't get out.

    The cops spent a lot of effort in an attempt to intimidate Chauvin's wife by surrounding their house. She filed for divorce. I wonder if she will testify against him?

    According to what I read Derek Chauvin sat outside the club in his police car,that was his assigned task George Floyd worked inside as a bouncer. Apparently on one occasion Floyd took Chauvin's payroll checkout to him in the car, it was apparently for a lesser amount than Floyd thought he would receive. He apparently held Floyd responsible for the lower payment despite the fact that Floyd ONLY DELIVERED THE CHECK and had nothing to do with it's preparation or amounts. According one of the other bouncers he held Floyd responsible for the discrepancy.

    I don't think it's cut and dry. This shows that the two men had a history of not getting along.

    Who cares? It’s still murder by a cowardly racist cop.

    Even if Floyd had dirt on this cop? Sweep it under the rug?
