According to the bar owner, they both worked there (along with 20 some odd other security/bouncers), but never during the same shifts...

He said he didn't think they even knew each other...

you obviously did not watch the video with EXPERT commentary

why don't you watch the video before you call it murder

Like many of todays problem, race and politics is a major factor on public opinion, and so it has proved in this case.
One half of the political/racial divide calls it murder, and the other half call it justifiable homicide.
From the majority of media reports and opinions I have seen and read so far, the officer has already been found guilty.
One thing for sure, if the verdict is anything but guilty, Minnesota will be burning!
JMO.

The bar owner really would like the pressure off his business. Point is they worked at the same place which was never mentioned by the media. Something doesn't add up. Passing/cleaning counterfeit money?

Spin?? Is that the new definition of facts?

You might understand it better, if instead of the word "spin" - insert "alternative facts."

Regardless of the facts, if anyone thinks that this "trial" is anything but predetermined, you must be living in an alternate universe. The late introduction of the 3rd Degree Murder charge should tell you all you need to know.

I don't believe the outcome of this trial is predetermined and the late introduction of the 3rd degree murder charge (if there was one, I don't know) only serves to confirm that.

If the trial is predetermined in favor of the prosecution then why would introduce a lesser charge? The prosecution could sit back and wait for a conviction on the more serious charge.

If the trial is predetermined in favor of the defense then why introduce a lesser charge? Introduction of a lesser charge when the outcome has already been decided would appear to be an act of desperation move and would work against the prosecution.

I don't know what the correct verdict is and I don't know if the jury will return it. I do know a lot of people have already decided what they will accept as a proper verdict and unfortunately, that says a lot about our country today.

Yes...have found folks don't like the term "liar" or "spin" but ar comfortable with "alternate facts". Strange world

Except that it -was- mentioned by the media... That's how I learned they both worked at the same place, but on different shifts...

BUT, perhaps never mentioned on YOUTUBE

there's something very odd about this whole story & no one is covering it: the fact that floyd & the officer KNEW EACH OTHER, & had once worked the same security detail outside a nightclub. i had to read that in the uk mail, & they even had a picture taken of the 2 standing together. it is my belief this cop knew who's neck he was kneeling on, the question is why. where, oh where is Perry Mason?

looks like we had the same idea. posted within minutes of each other! :icon_wink:

I will never mention this post because your reputation will take a serious hit.
