MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Fired Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has been arrested days after George Floyd’s fatal arrest that sparked protests and outcry across the city and nation.

On Friday, John Harrington, commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, announced that Chauvin has been taken into custody in connection with the May 25 death.

Chauvin is the former officer in the video seen around the world with his knee on Floyd’s neck. He’d been with Minneapolis police for 19 years.

It was not immediately clear what the expected charges Chauvin could face are.

BTW, is it me, or is that cop missing a left hand? Watch his arm on the choking video.

I am sorry a person died due to the policeman cutting his blood supply to his brain for a long time even after he could have been cuffed. Just wrong. If it was someone I loved I would be just besides myself. Would I burn down the town no, but I would have a good damn lawyer and get my vengeance in the court system.

Isn’t that interesting? Do you suppose any of these people watched it?

So let’s say it’s all a super planned out conspiracy. Does that include choosing who the victim is going to be? And the assassin cop, who is in on the plot, gets the go from some Soros handler? And the other cops who did nothing to stop it, are they assets too? The person getting the video? The 911 caller?

The only thing a conspiracy has going for it is how inexplicable the cops’ actions are.

"No. Burned out shitholes make the Somali population feel more at home."

That's Omar's district. I figured the riots, looting, and fires reminded her of her birthplace, Mogadishu, Somalia.

There is a well-known, long-standing Alinskyite lefty tactic, via Cloward and Piven, called “bottom up, top down” in which you deliberately create unrest so you can crack down on it in order to get absolute power or as close to it as you can. You keep doing it until you have total control.

You can be against the protestor actions will still believing this guy is violent shouldn’t ever be a cop again

Shouldn't ever be a cop again? My view is he belongs in prison. His career choices are somewhat limited at the moment and he should probably be looking at job options in a penitentiary.

"I’m hearing reports that George Floyd and Derek Chauvin knew one another and even worked together as security guards!"

I read that Floyd worked inside the bar. Chauvin worked outside, and that it was not yet known if the men actually knew each other.

I’m all for conspiracies. Just one problem; how does this hurt the president? I don’t get how any of this hurts PDJT.

Thank you.

I’m surprised we’re still allowed to see this.

How much did the Illuminati pay you to say that?

No...it'll pause...then when they don't move it along quickly they'll start up again.....especially with the election ahead as it's not just the black community moving this ball...they have "minders".

I’m not necessarily buying this theory myself, though Democrats are definitely the kind of people who would try something like this — ANYTHING for power, after all — but the idea is that it gets Biden’s racist gaffes off the news, and substitutes a “racist America” meme that they think they can use against the president.

IF that is what they’re thinking, it won’t work.

My eyes are open. I don't see what you are imagining. Please walk me through your logic.

Let's start with "...this appears to have all the earmarks of Soros".

What are those earmarks? Name them. All of them.

Thank you. It’s mind boggling that any justification can be given.

I'd bet they did:

MINNEAPOLIS — A former Minneapolis club owner has said that both George Floyd and the fired police officer in whose custody Floyd died Monday used to work security at her club, opening up the question of whether the two men knew one another.

Maya Santamaria told KSTP in Minneapolis that Floyd and Derek Chauvin worked security at El Nuevo Rodeo up to the end of last year. Santamaria said she sold the building, which she owned for 20 years, a few months ago.

“Chauvin was our off-duty police for almost the entirety of the 17 years that we were open,” Santamaria told the news station. “They were working together at the same time, it’s just that Chauvin worked outside and the security guards were inside.”
