    It would not be unusual for the civilian bouncer (inside) to turn problem people over to the actual police, when that person wouldn't simply leave the club. So, yeah, that makes sense.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      Chauvin was not the only officer on the scene that day with a history of complaints against him.
      Former officer Tou Thao had six complaints filed with internal affairs, one of which was still open, according to the public summary released Thursday. The other five complaints had been closed without discipline.


      Chauvin and Floyd were bouncers at the same night club, but I don't know if they knew each other, or worked there at the same time.
      This is from a while ago, but I do have a question. It mentions he had 18 complaints against him and Tou Thao had six. How many complaints does your "typical" cop get? I'm sure there are spurious complaints so the mere fact of having complaints doesn't mean there's a problem, so I'm wondering how far above the average these numbers are.

        I've been asking the same question for a few days now. I've heard it's not unusual for cops to have complaints made against them, and that these numbers rise in districts with higher crime rates. I'm curious as to the average for Chauvin's peers, including the number of complaints which resulted in disciplinary action.

            • This is looking extremely dire.

              2 NYPD cops shot, another stabbed during 'unprovoked' attack

              IMO I think cities should lift the curfews. I know it's to prevent the looting, but I think the more authorities clamp down, the more this is going to cause mob aggression to push-back. It can become a vicious feedback loop.

                If I'm not mistaken, those were not just "complaints", but complaints that made their way to Internal Affairs. For the length of time he was on the department, it seems pretty high to me.

                    The existence of Cops is provocation enough!
