Floyd's brother says George Floyd's killing was 'personal'... and REPORT says that Chauvin Knew Floyd "Pretty Well"

If that's the case, murder in the first it will be.

This is now twice recently that we're in agreement eyes shut. Does this mean the apocalypse is near? It does almost seem like end of days.

Although it may be tough to prove it in a court of law, it's pretty clear that their personal history had to play into Chauvin's murder of Floyd, which should mean a charge of first degree murder.

As Syd points out, eyes shut, I also heard today that the person who claimed Floyd and Chauvin had a history, retracted what they had said. Regardless, when a cop does something like this, first degree murder should be an option, imo.

Deffinately, an abuse of power for sure. I spent a little 'time' in Toronto back in the early 90's, back then the cops were brutal, they had some pretty sick methods, like a trip to Cherry Beach, cuffed to a chair atop a stairwell, my personal fave was the phone book treatment, cracked ribs with no bruises, f**kers. I still cringe when I think back. I was more scared of the cops and screws more than any one else and it was a 70% black population inside.

I'll never be in a police chase again... I hope.

I think if people like me, who do support the police in general, would be honest about it, we would have to admit that the job of police officer absolutely attracts a (hopefully small) number of the type of people who are into power tripping and abuse, and sadly as we have seen illustrated recently, racism. Worse case, a combination of all three as clearly is the case with Chauvin. I know for a fact that there are attempts made to weed them out before they even become cops. Obviously whatever approach is being taken to prevent those types from becoming cops needs some serious improvement.

Screws? Aren't those prison guards? What are you trying to admit, eyes shut!?!

All kidding aside, I would imagine prison guards are more prone to be abusive than bad cops. I don't know for sure, but I'll speculate that the pre-hire screening is not as thorough, nor would the standards for getting the job be as high. I'd like to be wrong about that.

You mean this?
