As investigators are piecing together the cases being made against the four officers involved in the death of George Floyd, a co-worker of the slain 46-year-old is speaking out. Soon after Floyd&#8217;s death,<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/derek-chauvin-to-make-his-first-court-appearance-news.112056.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> it was reported that he and Derek Chauvin</a>, the disgraced ex-police officer who kneeled on Floyd&#8217;s neck for nearly nine minutes, knew his victim. The two men reportedly worked at a nightclub together, and now one of their coworkers has come forward with claims that Chauvin and Floyd didn&#8217;t get along.

&#8220;They bumped head,&#8221; David Pinney said. &#8220;It has a lot to do with Derek being extremely aggressive within the club with some of the patrons, which was an issue.&#8221; The news station went onto say that the Floyd family believes that the kneeling incident that led to the death of George Floyd was &#8220;personal.&#8221; There&#8217;s also no doubt in Pinney&#8217;s mind that <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/two-charged-ex-minneapolis-officers-blame-derek-chauvin-for-george-floyds-death-news.111870.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Derek Chauvin knew exactly </a>who he was kneeling on. 
&#8220;No, he knew him,&#8221; Pinney continued. &#8220;Pretty well.&#8221; Maya Santamaria, the owner of the nightclub where Chavin and Floyd worked together, also said that Chauvin seemed &#8220;afraid and intimidated&#8221; by black people. <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/derek-chauvin-charge-upgraded-to-2nd-degree-murder-in-george-floyds-death-news.111729.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">According to Santamaria</a>, when he was off-duty, Chauvin was paid to sit outside of El Nuevo Rodeo inside of his squad car. George Floyd worked security inside, and both men were on duty on Tuesday evenings.
