You can't compare Camden to say Minneapolis or anyother dept. for that matter.The person in charge of interviewing and hiring the new police force, would determine that... likely the new chief of police, who is likely the old chief of police.Ah, yes..."bad records"! So who determines what constitutes a bad record, Care? The liberal media? Black Lives Matter? Antifa? What you don't seem to grasp is that the latter two of that list doesn't want a viable Police force of any kind. The liberal media is too myopic to see that. They think that crime is created by bad cops. It's a laughably ignorant viewpoint but they're all in on it!I don't think you can rule race out because they knew each other and didn't like each other...it still could be a racist issue....Yes, did you know that the only reason he was still a cop is due to Democrat backed Police unions that make it nearly impossible to fire them? Police unions are absolutely why bad cops stay cops. Notice how that has also been left out of the narrative?And did you know Chauvin had 18 complaints filed against him?I did read yesterday that Floyd had spats with Chauvin at the primarily black night club, for being overly aggressive, spraying mace in to the crowd instead of just the two fighting, kind of thing.... but that's unconfirmed.Because of the narrative based media you probably don't know that the two had history.are you saying that .....George Floyd died because he was a drug addled piece of shit who got up that day...did meth and then went out with his buddy to rip off a business with counterfeit money! George Floyd died because when the Police were called he resisted arrest and refused to get into the squad car! George Floyd died because George Floyd was a worthless piece of garbage whose actions put him on the ground with Police holding him down!Listen, people should be outraged over what happened to George Floyd, but let’s get one thing straight: Floyd didn’t die merely because he was black and the cop who killed him is white. Floyd died because America is being overrun with warrior cops—vigilantes with a badge—who are part of a government-run standing army that is waging war on the American people in the so-called name of law and order.
There it is, but will our elected leaders understand? Trump and his minions clearly aren’t getting it. Sniffy Joe isn’t either.
This terrible event could be yet another example of the power elite using tragedy to divide the people.

I'm sick and tired of hearing about "Saint George"! Peddle that baloney some where else! Anyone that would hold a gun to a pregnant woman's belly for money to buy drugs is such a worthless excuse for a human being someone should have killed him before he left Texas!
If he were white, the cop still would have murdered him?
I absolutely refuse to believe that Chauvin didn't know it was Floyd as he was arresting him. It is simply not possible to work for the same small company for many years and not know each other.
It at least invites the possibility that this was personal. There is a rumor that there was a love triangle some years back. That rumor is not substantiated. If it was personal, then it had nothing to do with him being black. But the narrative based media isn't talking about this because - it doesn't fit the pre-existing narrative.
But then my question would be, WHAT about the other 3 cops.... ?
Chauvin was an asshole as described by those that knew him - and his other employer stated he was a hothead and had a flash temper. (however she didn't fire him either)
He will and should go to prison for what he did. No argument. But the fact that there is a solid possibility that this was personal - pokes a big hole in the narrative that it was about race. So... the narrative based media simply ignores that part of the story. - You OK with that?
And, the liberal media is discussing the police union, and how they protect the bad apples.
It's the ENTIRE Defund the Police issue....
The reason to defund, is to abolish the union contract, then rehire only the good cops, and not rehire the bad cops with bad records, in the NEW policing organization.
But if you want to know more, research what Camden, NJ did, who defunded their police and created a new police force in 2015....
Crime has gone down, the black community LOVE their relationship with their new police force, and even walked together at one of Camden' s peaceful rallies.
Camden was probably the most corrupt modern police department in 80 plus years. Cops for hire as if it was still the 1920's. The city had little choice as it was discovered virtually every level of management was on the take down to the lowly Lt. on the beat.
Completely different situation.
The chief of police called off union negotiations for their new contract... this is so some of the obstacles of getting rid of bad cops, can be developed and negotiated on...
Minneapolis is lucky they are in the new contract negotiation period.
