A former club owner in south Minneapolis says the now-fired police officer and the black man who died in his custody this week both worked security for her club up to the end of last year.

George Floyd and now-former Officer Derek Chauvin both worked security at the El Nuevo Rodeo club on Lake Street, according to Maya Santamaria. Santamaria owned the building for nearly two decades, but sold the venue within the last few months...

In one of the videos, he can be seen looking down at Floyd, who is obviously unconscious, and STILL keeps his knee down on his neck.

I don’t understand the knee on the neck. Is that a normal police move? I could maybe see it if the perp is just OUTTA CONTROL, jacked up on drugs, but in the videos we’ve seen, this does not appear to be the case.

I got slammed for three days by these “Let’s hang him now” Crowd... I dont think I will get an apology. I said let’s wait for ALL the facts to emerge before we hang him. Sheesh....Grey Whiskers was downright ugly. There is no hate in my heart. There is in his.

Glory be!

Let the Lefties in Minneapolis-St Paul taste the full dregs of their Godless communism.

Don't say that President Trump Dindu Nuffin when it came to trying to save them - but that they handed their city over to the likes of Clown Kaepernick.

Man buys something in store with counterfeit $20...he is cuffed laid face down on ground while cop presses his knee into man’s neck even after he is unconscious .... man dies!

Chauvin killed Floyd.

I’ll hold off on saying Chauvin murdered Floyd till all evidence is in but it sure looks like murder.

None of the people commenting here have the responsibility of actually prosecuting this case, so it's pretty easy for them to make snap judgements based on video evidence that recorded a few minutes of the event.

The prosecutors have to gather the key facts, one of them being cause of death, before they determine which charge to make.

The last thing they want to do is charge someone with a crime that they cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt.

There are a lot of questions as to why the officers have not been charged, and it does seem odd. But I am certain that they want to make a solid case against the officers and are not trying to whitewash this.

You hear a lot of people over on the left making claims of guilt without offering clear cut evidence. We've seen the President hounded with that attitude for four years. It really surprises me that here we have so many people who are disregarding the concept of innocent until proven guilty.

60 people shot in Chicago and not a peep.

Did the police shoot them? Is anyone around here saying that nobody should be prosecuted for the shootings?

It’s some kind of homicide. Call it what you will, but the cop is responsible for the guy’s death.

The prosecutor and the U.S. Attorney failed to state the possible evidence. Why not?


There are still some buildings there they need razed and rioters will do it for free.

I don’t understand why they were on top of him for eight minutes. How long does it take four guys to slip a pair of handcuffs on a guy?

In the video where you can hear people yelling at the police, the store clerk mention the word/letter OD. Also the Asian police officer stated something about drugs.

politicians were just trying to get out ahead of the issue.


I’ve been banned from several forums on which I’ve been a member for years or decades because of my comments on CV19. I wasn’t breaking site rules but I was causing a chitstorm of site rule breaking by all the Karens on the site. At the end of the day, it’s easier to ban one guy - even if he’s right, than everybody else, even if they are wrong.

So yeah, the one life is sacrificed to hopefully save the city. Except it didn’t. But it could have. You would think these leaders would learn that feeding the beast only empowers it.
