George Floyd Worked As Security At Same Nightclub As The Officer Who Killed Him by Editorialtimes: 6:43pm On May 29, 2020


1. A bizarre twist in the murder of George Floyd was reported on Thursday night, as a former club owner in south Minneapolis revealed that Floyd worked at her club as a security guard, alongside recently fired police officer Derek Chauvin, the man who killed him.

2. Club owner Maya Santamaria says that the two both worked the same security shift at El Nuevo Rodeo club on Lake Street, before the business was sold a few months ago.


“Chauvin was our off-duty police for almost the entirety of the 17 years that we were open. They were working together at the same time, it’s just that Chauvin worked outside and the security guards were inside,” Santamaria told KSTP.

3. However, Santamaria said that she can’t be certain that Chauvin and Floyd knew each other, because often over a dozen security guards working at the club on any given night.

Still, they did work overlapping shifts, and the fact that one man ended up killing the other should justify further investigation into whether or not the two had a prior relationship.

4. If Chauvin and Floyd were not meeting for the first time in the moments before Floyd’s death, that could potentially mean that there was a deeper motive behind the murder.

If true, this could make the difference between a manslaughter charge or a murder charge.

5. As of right now, no other evidence of a prior relationship has been revealed, but this is an extremely strange coincidence, which would be cause for serious suspicion in any other circumstance.

Santamaria says that she did not realize that the men in the video were her former employees until a friend told her.

“My friend sent me (the video) and said this is your guy who used to work for you and I said, ‘It’s not him.’ And then they did the closeup and that’s when I said, ‘Oh my God, that’s him.’ I didn’t recognize George as one of our security guys because he looked really different lying there like that,” Santamaria said.

People around the country are calling for Chauvin to be charged with murder, but thus far no formal charges have been filed against any of the officers involved in Floyd’s death.

All four of the officers who were on the scene at the time of the incident were fired from the police force, but Floyd’s family says that is not enough, and the city’s mayor agrees.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has called for criminal charges against the police officer who killed George Floyd.

“I’ve wrestled with, more than anything else over the last 36 hours, one fundamental question: Why is the man who killed George Floyd not in jail. If you had done it, or I had done it, we would be behind bars right now,” Frey said.

When asked about which specific charge he would want to see for the officer, Mayor Frey declined to comment, but many legal experts have speculated that Chauvin could face manslaughter charges considering the video evidence against him.

Household Enemies are Real!

There is more to all these killings all over the world than meets the Physical eyes..

Just Calm down and Spirtually take a look at the Chronicle of events that has hit the World in this year 2020.

You will see that some forces are in haste to Take over this World.

They are the Globalist/NwO!

They are keenly watching us all and laughing at how the people are playing into their hands..

People of GOD Worldwide ! The times are Dangerous!

Instead of joing in Flaring up the Events thereby playing into the Hands of the Globalist/ New world Order, let us calm down and take a Stoc of our Life..

The Bible says there shall be " Great Tribulation such as the World has Never seen"

These are not times to React Negatively and Fast forward the plans of the Evil ones..

I call on all to Calm Down and Make Peace with THE KING of kings

I call on all to Calm down and Get yourself and Family into the Ark just like Noah Did..

I call on all to Ensure their is Oil in your Lamp and Extra to keep you so as to avoid being a Foolish Virgin..

Remember, Whosoever Calls on the Name of JESUS will be Saved..

Make hay!

RACISM WILL NEVER STOP UNTIL WE EMACIATE OURSELVES.


I'm not colour blind and I know the colour of my skin.
No human on this earth is ever black or white.

What we have is different shades of BROWN AND PINK.

Dark skinned people (BROWN) were giving that black title/tag/identity/label by slave masters who chose to call themselves white.

I can never be proud of what I'm not.

I hate being called black and I take serious offense to being called black because I am BROWN and not BLACK. It's unfortunate that this so-called white have brainwashed a lot of people for long through langauge, literature, films, myths and even religion. To us, it now seems normal.
That's why it would seem very ackward in our imaginations to see God or Jesus being black or wearing a black robe. They have always depicted black colour as bad and white as good. The so-called white people aren't even white they are pink. It's like we live in some twilight zone.
People shouldn't even be labelled based off colour. It is very wrong.
It dehumanizes people. Calling brown people black and making the colour black bad just causes people to psychologically associate us with bad.
I take offense to it and not because I think the colour black is bad. I don't think a colour can be good or bad. But being that this culture always makes black bad and white good in every form and instances then, I think it is wrong to call anyone black or even white.
In the hierarchy of race now, this is how things seems like:
>Whites
>Hispanics
>Latinos
>Asians
>Blacks �
That's the reality of things.
