The point of the story is to insinuate that the officer and Floyd knew each other and this was possibly personal. And of course it is clear why the city would want to push a rogue cop with a personal vendetta narrative. To distance themselves from responsibility. I imagine they would do this even if they suspected the 2 individuals didn't know each other.
Everyone is in damage control mode right now. I would be suspect of the "truth" of any information being leaked. Of course it could be true, but do your own diligence.
There are of course a range of possibilities and I don't think we have enough information to know which one is true, or even to assign probabilities.
1. They knew each other but it wasn't personal. Chauvin would have done that to anyone (black).
2. They knew each other and it was personal.
3. They didn't know each other at all. Just because 2 people have bounced the same bar within a 17 year time frame doesn't mean they knew each other. We don't even know if they ever bounced at the same time.
