Didn't they work at the same place as bouncers for 17 years?

Not for 17 years, Floyd was in prison up to a year ago. The officer worked at the club for 17 years. The police officer worked outside in the parking area and Floyd worked inside as a bouncer.

Good post.... did you know that Floyd was 6'6", a bouncer for a club, former tight end … high school and college? Did you know that his last prison term was 5 years (plea deal) for armed robbery, assault, and home invasion? Can we guess why the officer, under 6'0" and a feather weight compared to the mammoth Floyd, felt a need to restrain Floyd?

Yeah, until he went limp and then for another minute or two. A real hero

He had gone limp several times, got up and fought with the officers. It is easy to go limp and for that matter slow your respiration/heart rate way down. My resting heart rate has gone as low as 40 bpm with respiration to 3 breaths per minute and I can make this happen by meditation… Not saying Floyd did this....I am saying it is possible.

What video are you watching anyway? He never "fought" with the officers. He complied with them.

I saw an article about it from when he lived in Texas.

There was a link provided earlier that showed footage of the incident...

At what point did he fight?

He appeared to comply the entire time...

That's how it looked to me...

I didn't see him lift a finger to "defy" the police...

Although in another video I did here him repeatedly beg for aid...

I'm looking forward to finding out what kind of relationship (if any at all) Chauvin and Floyd had previously since they worked at the same night club for a while. If it is discovered/revealed that they had butted heads in the past, resulting in a possible vendetta or some such, that obviously won't improve Chauvin's case. Could be something there, could be nothing. Stay tuned.

I also wonder if this was a case of "opportunity"...

Exactly. Chauvin may have been lickin' his chops when he realized who it was. Pure speculation at this point. Guess we'll see soon enough.

I hope they are very thorough with the investigation... Would hate to see any sloppiness....

It might just be me... But the one cop who was at the front in the video looked very uncomfortable... I feel like he knew the situation was wrong... (just a feeling)

I guess he had what Christian call a "back slide".

I looked this up and found an interesting article on him....He must have been one strong man.."Everything from speakers to chairs, to tables, everything had to be loaded from one location to the next,” said Corey Paul, one of Floyd’s partners in ministry. Floyd volunteered to set up and tear down for ministry events on the court, sometimes lugging 30 chairs at a time, his friends said. https://religionnews.com/2020/05/29/george-floyds-ministry-friends-say-he-was-their-og-a-man-of-peace/

Anyway, if he were a Christian...he is no longer in pain nor worries. May he RIP.
