So I am listening to an African-American professor on Irie fm here in JA

He says Chauvin was not among the cops who arrested George Floyd. His brother in law called him and he drove up in his car and murdered George Floyd with the rest of them helping him. .
Further Floyd and Chauvin worked as bouncers at the same club. Even more interesting is that Floyd was dating a white woman.

He insists that this lynching was personal.

Truth will out.

By the way there are demonstrations across the planet.

I caught a quick interview yesterday with the Woman who owned the club where both men worked for her.
The US media is really keeping a lid on this info. No one seems to be touching it.

What I do know, is that when active duty cops moonlight as bouncers "security" at clubs it is a recipe for corruption.

In the video I saw two officers arrive on the scene. They are Caucasian. Floyd is in his vehicle across the street with at least one other passenger. The two officers walk across the street, take Floyd out of his vehicle and make him sit down with his back to the building.

Another "park" officer arrives and parks on the same side of the street as Floyd's vehicle. He is wearing a body camera. The footage from this camera is very heavily redacted. The original officers question Floyd and walk him across the street. It is hard to tell what exactly the park officer did. He seems to be instructing the passenger to stay away from Floyd's vehicle after Floyd is walked across the street.

Chauvin and Thou arrive and park on the side of the street with the original officer's vehicle. Floyd collapsed on the curb side of the original officer's vehicle and from that point on, I can't find video of how the four officers got Floyd over to the street side of the original officer's vehicle. The passersby video show him pinned by the four officers on the street side of the police suv.

If Chauvin and Floyd did indeed work as bouncers at the same nightclub, that is indeed very suspicious. They knew each other. It adds a whole other suspicious aspect to this murder.

I'm just posting what I heard. They did both work as bouncers - that has been confirmed.
