George Floyd and Derek Chauvin Were Once Co-Workers, Ex-Club Owner Tells TV Station

Maya Santamaria, former owner of El Nuevo Rodeo, said that both Floyd and Chauvin worked security at the club. She said that the two could have crossed paths, though Chauvin mostly worked outside as an off-duty officer, while Floyd primarily was inside as a bouncer. She wasn't sure if they knew each other.

"Chauvin was our off-duty police for almost the entirety of the 17 years that we were open," Santamaria told KSTP."They were working together at the same time, it's just that Chauvin worked outside and the security guards were inside." Santamaria also told the TV station that Chauvin"had a real short fuse," adding that he often pulled out mace and pepper spray when she thought it was unwarranted.

Doesn't that call for premeditated 1st degree?

People are failing to mention the Meth and Fentanyl FLOYD-19 was taking, all while committing a felony. Chauvin probably knew what he was dealing with.

Chauvin arrived at the scene after the arrest was in progress; was backup called or he just turn up?

Yet you still kept him employed

CassJSpring Hey, Cass, your stupidity is showing.

srilaura She?

If a prosecutor can prove this, it may elevate the charges to 1st degree...

Kris_Sacrebleu Need to look into this story, if its true, then chauvin has a grudge against floyd.

Kris_Sacrebleu But she kept him on as her door guy for 17 years? Why not just fire him?

Kris_Sacrebleu That moves it up to first degree murder, since he KNEW the guy. He totally intended to snuff him out

Kris_Sacrebleu For clarification...it is not clear that they knew each other. It has been said that they worked different shifts.

bannerite 1st gegeee murder?

The fuck that got to do with police brutality and it's way of oppressing the black, brown and yellow people. 🤦‍♂️

ukexpat19 I like how she says the vandalizers to distinguish them from peaceful protesters.

Very interesting, this bad cop had real intention of grudge or hate towards George Floyd.

RIPMSM We getting another motive for the murder?

Huh?

So what...?

“The notion that we live in some sort of racist police state is a lie….” RichLowry on LRCkcrw on May 29, 2020.

So he was familiar with the guy and most likely didn't see him as a threat. He just decided to kill and be part of something big. Killers do weird shyt like that. Play games with their victims.

Shocking 🙄

thugnimi The dots are connecting 🤔

she?

Premeditated. That’s a murderer 0f a different color, and longer sentence.

Why did she keep having him back to provide security if she thought he was abusing his power?

Ah yes, when an employee of mine has a short fuse and pulls out mace and pepper spray on my customers when I think it is unwarranted, I always ... [checks notes]... continue employing them for 17 years. BLM

Sounds personal, change the charge to 1st degree murder.

Former wikileaks employees said the same about assange. Both are now behind bars. 🤷

So what happened between them? They obviously fell out.

I don't understand how individuals exhibiting that kind of behavior would ever get considered for Police, let alone getting the chance to go through Academy. That makes no sense. Those higher standards should be applied before they enter the force, AND during.

Dear SOME folks, THIS violence and cover up murder and systemic assault by 'authorities' has been ongoing LONG before phone and body cameras.

The story behind the story. Great reporting .

Just like when he pulled mace out and threatened to use it on citizens filming him commit murder

Working in the same situation at the Madrid Theatre in Kansas City, where we also hired several off duty officers for events, I can say with 100% certainty that all my doormen knew all of the off duties on a first name basis. Our capacity was 2,500 people.

People with “short fuses” have no business being in the military or law enforcement. Particularly in roles where they have access to weapons.

Did he spend 5 years in prison for aggravated assault like George?

“She”?

Most cops suck. The end

So was it staged or revenge, that is the question.

greg_doucette have you seen this!!?!

But of course.

Derek Chauvin, the officer involved in George Floyd’s death, is taken into custodyThe unrest spread from Phoenix to Columbus, as people converged in city centers and descended on state capitol buildings to protest the death of a black man in police custody. Finally, it's turn to arrest 3 more ONE DOWN 3 TO GO! And even once we have all 4, this is all window-dressing until the trial convicts them of murder. I'm not a native English speaker. I guess that's why I don't understand why it says 'involved in George Floyd's death' instead of 'who killed George Floyd'.
