Insane fact I learned from this article: Derek Chauvin and George Floyd were "coworkers" at the same club and almost certainly knew each other personally.

yeah it is incredibly fucked that this wasn't part of the conversation around the murder at the time

Derek Chauvin being the police designated security the club owner was forced to hire and George Floyd being a bouncer

it's wild to me that hiring pigs, on the clock and everything, is a thing in america
here if you hire the bacon they have to be out of uniform and shit, don't have the baton, cs spray, taser, etc.

Not only did they work together, but they had recently had some kind of dispute at work over the handing out of checks (iirc Chauvin normally handed out checks but didn't give George Floyd his check or something).

Wow. This is just insane. I mean, I am well aware that police are very much like a mob or cartel. But hearing unmitigated proof is crazy.
