Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

If the cop killed Floyd because of a personal beef between the two of them will it matter?

I don't think it will make any difference, the narrative is already set and just like "hands up don't shoot" whatever facts come out afterwards aren't going to matter.

    Narrative already set. Wife and I were discussing this today. Totally could have been a corrupt cop killing his drug dealing partner at the club bc of some other shit fill in the blanks. Won't even matter if that all comes out though.

    None of that would matter, and it probably shouldn't. Crooked or not, he had the authority to detain Floyd.

    Personally, I don't think the cop intended to kill Floyd. Intentional murder on a public street, unlikely.

    It could be why the full video hasn’t been shown, acknowledgement that they knew each other.

    I'm not sure how knowing each other helps Chauvin.

    It might matter if this was the only time a dirty cop killed a person of color in the US and got away with it because the white power system didn't prosecute or even investigate, but since that isn't the case -- why would it matter?

    Also, 3 other cops stood there and watched and kept back the crowd.

    Doesn't help him, in fact it may hurt him. But it kind of throws a monkey wrench into the racist white cops declaring "open season" on black males narrative.

    Yeah, and that's what's happening with this case, no prosecution and no investigation. Btw, do dirty cops ever kill white folks?
