The horrific murder of George Floyd at the hands (or knees) of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin earlier this week has understandably spurred all kinds of protests on both the streets of The Mill City as well as social media.

Now that reporters continue to get deeper into the lives of both Floyd and Chauvin, the more Floyd comes off as the everyday law abiding citizen just living his life while Derek “MAGA” Chauvin’s history of use-of-force complaints raises more questions as to why he was never disciplined by the Minneapolis Police Department.

According to the piece, the 46-year-old security guard lived in Houston before moving to Minneapolis in 2018 and worked with DJ Screw’s Screwed Up Click in the 90’s when he was rapping under the moniker, Big Floyd.

His post asked followers to call Minneapolis District Attorney Michael Freeman and demand charges be pressed against the four officers fired after detaining Floyd for an alleged forgery in progress, one of whom pushed his knee against Floyd’s neck, according to a bystander video.

Protests over the murder of George Floyd are now going into it’s third day in Minneapolis with protestors taking to the streets and trashing a police precinct in frustration over his death.
