Floyd’s savage killing at the hands of those Minneapolis police officers already felt relatable because I, too, am a Black man, so I, too, have to worry if I am the right Black man on the wrong day

That’s why the very second it was revealed that Floyd went to Jack Yates High School in Houston’s Third Ward neighborhood , I immediately knew who he was. I went to James Madison Senior High School in the Hiram Clake area of Houston. We were high school rivals, but pretty much everyone on the Southside of Houston is familiar, you know? And the more I learn about Floyd’s life, the more familiar his life feels.

But it does matter that the police officer knew him. For 17 years.

Pantyfaces!

Arghhh just shusssssh! The people DO NOT CARE about the opinions of Ken & Karen’s. Furthermore, their opinions DON’T EVEN MATTER. (This doesn’t include active activists just the here today, gone tomorrow ones)👍🏽

George Floyd is a victim. His killer should have been locked up years ago. Set that aside. Now, when someone is killed by a police officer in USA, usually they didn’t spend the last 10+ years working together at the same very small venue, El Nuevo Rodeo Club

Of course it does...

Not at all. Makes not a single iota of difference. American police are a disgrace.

It seemed obvious to me that he knew him and of course it's relevant and material.

He didn’t the owner of where they worked said they would have passed each other but never spoke no interaction didn’t know each other. Maybe you should check the facts first.

It proves there is something underlying here.

I think it could have mattered. It might mean the officer had a grudge and this was actually with intent

✊🏿❤❤

It does if there is proof of the action/treatment of George was pre-meditated

They should stop killing black people

What was he doing to bring himself into the involvement with police, nothing right, complete bullshit, too much force was used okay, but what was this guy up to.

The whole thing was a non-issue.
