For 17 years George Floyd and that cop had been co-workers at a private nightclub. It is impossible Floyd's death did not in part stem from that prior relationship, and I consider it highly likely to be why the cop kneeled on his neck for almost ten minutes instead of cuffing and stuffing him in the back of the cop car.

It is unknown to what degree racism may have informed that personal and professional prior relationship, but I doubt it has a damn thing to do with it. I suspect drugs, money, and corruption are the core basis for the murder.

Cops working security at nightclubs are notoriously availed constant and lucrative opportunities to facilitate black markets. Presently no one with any inside information has much ability to shed light on that career, because they could only testify to what they knew of it through their involvement, which starts out as misprision of a felony, and only gets worse from there.

Who has any incentive to dig into that narrative? No one presently involved. This is why you, apparently, were unaware of it.
