WOW! That is even sadder if they knew each other. That definitely makes one more suspicious.

A former detective, a friend of mine, suspects that maybe the counterfeit money is tied into this somehow. Time will tell.

Breaking!
Derek Chauvin charged with third-degree murder in death of George Floyd
Fired Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has been charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter in the death of George Floyd, Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman announced Friday afternoon.
Chauvin is the former police officer who was captured on video pressing his knee into George Floyd's neck on Monday as Floyd repeatedly said, "I can't breathe." Floyd later died.
Earlier on Friday, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) said in an emotional news conference that the unrest that has destabilized Minneapolis and St. Paul this week is the result of 'generations of pain, of anguish' over racism in policing.
"Their voices went unheard, and now generations of pain is manifesting itself in front of the world," Walz said. "And the world is watching."
The governor vowed "swift" justice for the officers involved in Floyd's killing. He also pleaded for an end to the violence and noted the difficulty in requiring the same institution that sparked the unrest to restore order. But he said the underlying issues involved in George Floyd's death could not be addressed until the literal fires are extinguished.

The cop standing closest to the camera in the original video is clearly an Asian American. So this isn't a standard case of white-on-black racism.

Yes, there is more to this than police brutality. I was watching the murderers face and body language while he was in the process of murder and it looked like he was trying to send a message to the victim, it was all "business like" as in "giving him the business". Of course, he went too far, way too far. It was murder plain and simple.
I also thought it odd that there were two other cops holding the victim down. There is definitely more to this story beyond "police brutality".
