George Floyd, fired officer Derek Chauvin worked at same Minneapolis nightclub
Fox News ^ | May 31 2020 | Bernard Condon | Associated Press

A white Minneapolis police officer and the black man he's charged with killing both worked as security guards at the same Latin nightclub as recently as last year, but its former owner says she's not sure if they knew each other.

What she is certain of is how aggressive Officer Derek Chauvin became when the club hosted events that drew a mainly black clientele, responding to fights by taking out his mace and spraying the crowd, a tactic she told him was unjustified "overkill."

"He would mace everyone instead of apprehending the people who were fighting," said Maya Santamaria, former owner of El Nuevo Rodeo club in Minneapolis. "He would call backup. The next thing you would know, there would five or six squad cars."

Derek Chauvin sounds like a complete asshole to the core.

If true, this is troubling.
Was the officers motivation
to pick up more off duty hours
at the club by taking Floyd out?
If the the officer knew Floyd,
why would he treat him with such
excessive force?
If this story is true, it does not
make sense.

Fact is that a slight few people become cops because they are on ego trips and love power. And these are the pricks that are the rotten apples.
I bet there are a lot of vets on here that could relate to those types in the military also.

So...was there animosity early on? So did the cop use his position of authority to exact revenge of some sort?

Hmmm...lotsa questions.

Something is not right here. Also, see the metal object in Floyd’s mouth- thoughts?

Side business rivalry? Drug dealing? Over a woman?

It’s a Latin nightclub and would host mostly black clientele parties? That must be Latin as in “Caesar’s Gallic War”, where the club name is “Ubi Actus Est”. Great place to hold special SAT-cramming sessions...

“I wonder if Amy Klobuchar figures into this in any way...”

Google: AMY KLOBUCHAR CHAUVIN and you’ll get some interesting hits.

“Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn, on Friday defended her record as a former county prosecutor, rejecting accusations that she declined to press charges against the cop who knelt on George Floyd’s neck for the killing of a suspect in 2006.”

Yet he continued to work there.

There was another report claiming the dead guy was a porno actor.

Was the porno guy practicing scenes with the beauty queen wife of murder cop.

Did murder cop kill his rival to secure more shifts as a bouncer?

Appears to be a L&O SVU plot.

if he was so bad, then why did she keep him on the payroll for 17 years?

It will be interesting to see if he voted in both places in
the same election cycles at any time.

So this idiot woman thinks it is brutal to break up fights by spraying mace — compared to what? The alternatives are to join in the fight, bust heads with a nightstick, or shoot them. The “club” owner made money by attracting a violent crowd and selling them alcohol. She paid the cop to keep her clientele from wrecking her business. So now she dares complain that he was too rough by merely spraying them?

• Did he fail the psych eval REQUIRED to be a cop or prison guard?
• Was he hired inspite of failing the exam, i.e. was he a KNOWN sociopath?
• Who signed off on hiring him despite clear evidence of his dangerous temperament?

Anyone who violated the government regulations in knowingly hiring a psychopath and giving them a badge, a gun, and life and death power has lost their sovereign immunity.

• Remove those people from their positions for malfeasance.
• Strip them of their pensions.
• Anyone suffering abuse or loss of a loved one at the hands of the psychopath has standing to sue the former government hiring manger and anyone else who knowingly signed off on the bad hire, for reckless disregard and for full restitution of damages. Such damages to be paid by those individuals personally, as they personally took deliberate, premeditated and illegal actions that are no less risky than throwing an enraged rattlesnake into a Kindergarten.

Side note: Fully half the candidates who Dr. Clarissa Cole flunked after her psych eval were hired anyway. This needs to stop. Ruin the people who hire them and it will very quickly, as word gets around...
