Who knows? Frankly I don’t think that what happened was Chauvin settling a personal score. You’d have to be a complete idiot to do that in a public setting with witnesses and video cameras recording.
Unless the answer is he’s a complete idiot.
Since there was no rough treatment until he was brought to the car (in broad daylight) it doesn’t seem as if there was any recognition between either of them or backstory on the handling.
And racism goes out the window because the other 2 occupants of the car did not receive such harsh treatment.
But I’d think that at least once when they both were working that a bouncer and a hired police officer would encounter one another as a patron was evicted and handed over to the officer to finish the eviction.
A patron throws a punch against the bouncer and the law doesn’t care. A patron throws a punch against a uniformed officer (working guard duty) and the law adds special charges to that assault.

I saw it completely the opposite. A personal grievance seems much more likely to cause someone to kill somebody right out in the open, much more so than racial bias.
