The Fall of Minneapolis

Or so William Shakespeare wrote in his play The Merchant of Venice. But that was back in 1596 England. In 2020s USA however it seems the truth will be buried under a blizzard of lies. So The Fall of Minneapolis starts with the death of George Floyd, an habitual criminal and drug addict as he resisted arrest for attempting to pass fake $50 bills. This chapter of the movie has never before published police body cam footage. The subsequent chapters show the violent riots which followed including the abandonment of a police precinct, the autopsy report which found no evidence of suffocation but did find almost 4 times a lethal dose of fentanyl in Floyd's blood, the attempts by law enforcement and FBI to pressure the doctor who performed the autopsy to change it's conclusion, the sham trail where the chief of police repeatedly lies regarding the use of maximal restraint technique (MRT) which his officers are trained to use.

There isn't much new here, apart from the body cam footage and phone interviews with some of the wrongly imprisoned police officers involved. Candice Owens covered the same events in her documentary, The Greatest Lie Ever Sold and anyone who has paid attention will know much of what is documented here. However if the movie reaches just one blue pill normy then it will have been worth while.

Politics overriding justice. Even if you're sceptical about this documentary it's important you watch this. There is very worrying evidence that this trial was manipulated at all levels.

The death of George Floyd was used as a cause celebre by politicians and groups in Minneapolis across the USA and around the world It's like many other things we deal with now where the orthodoxy of some people, an increasingly powerful group of people in fact much of the new ruling elite is based on the way they perceive something as the truth even if the facts say otherwise and woe betide anyone who disagrees.

Our son is a police officer. As such, I sorted through what I saw by the evidence presented, and as a police officer's mother. I learned of George's troubled existence, of his previous encounters with law enforcement, his general health and his use of illegal drugs, all well documented, and his autopsy report. I did not learn anything about Derek's previous police performance records, but did learn of the tactic he used that day to subdue George. I learned that the environment in Minneapolis associated with this event was geared more toward revenge than justice. I learned that it was impossible for Derek Chauvin to benefit from his right as an American citizen to a fair trial. All George had to do was get into the car...

I think as other people have already stated you just need to watch the evidence which is in front of you . Shocking to see the evidence withheld from the jury. Unfortunately as was pointed out on the documentary this was a trial by public opinion and no juror was going to say not guilty when there is an angry mob waiting outside to burn the city down (again). Hopefully this documentary is seen by enough people and a retrial tekes place sooner rather than later because currently it is disgraceful to see the 4 officers currently in prison. It's a wonder any police officers remain in service in the US following that miscarriage of justice..

This documentary shows a lot of information that gives the viewer a fuller understanding of what actually happened. Whether or not you come to the conclusion that Chauvin and the other three jailed cops should be exonerated, you will come to the conclusion that their trial verdicts were at least partly influenced by huge public pressure and withholding of critically important evidence.

It was truly disturbing to see police administration straight up lie about training cops to use the maximal restraint technique. They trained cops to use that, then let Chauvin and the others take the fall for it.
