"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'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.”

The cop worked as off duty cop at the club for 17 years. Both worked there in 2019. Floyd was the bouncer.

You're right. Floyd probably always entered and left the bar through the servants entrance.
