If the cops had written him a ticket, he would likely still be alive, but if he wasn’t not many people would care.
It seems probable at this point that Floyd was probably not aware that the $20 was fake, and also likely that Chauvin knew and did not like Floyd.
George Floyd was HIGH AS A KITE and sitting in the DRIVER’S seat of a running car on a PUBLIC street. I’m not sure where you live, but in every state I’ve ever lived in, that’s against the law.
There was no way George Floyd was not going to get arrested that day, $20 counterfeit bill or not.
Imagine if they write him a ticket - in his obvious state of intoxication - he leaves and kills someone.
and also likely that Chauvin knew and did not like Floyd.
