That AG is the one who sent it to the GJ when it was completed.

Do you know that AG's name?
It wasn't Amy Klobuchar. She was in the Senate

.....but just frustration at the office in general.

I mean, right? No one here would just make unsubstantiated blind item attacks?

Floyd was sitting on his car hood.
The first police SUV come up and arrests him and places him in the rear seat.
Chauvin shows up in second SUV and drags him out of the first SUV.
Chauvin and others drag him behind his car where Floyd resists arrest (he was already arrested and handcuffed) and fights being detained (he was detained in the first SUV).

So what was all this about, it was to silence him, kill him. What for? I guess a bogus $20 bill. But why? My guess is he knew who printed it.

Barr's been down this Insurrection Act road before.
Rodney King LA riots..Barr was AG under GHW Bush at the time.

The long game has been in play since the day Trump sat his ass down in our White House.

It ain't just a CT anymore.
This shite didn't just suddenly happen one afternoon in Mpls.
I'll believe this till the day I die.

So where's the 20$bill??
Did they even investigate if Floyd knew it was counterft or ask where he got it?

They didn't bother to build a case against him.

It would have been the detectives who would have investigated the case. The bill was probably given to the police in the first car that he was put into. My guess is Chauvin heard about it on the police radio and freaked.
