The Fall of Minneapoli

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.

How can this happen in a country like the U. S.? Because we the people have allowed it. By electing people to office based on personal feelings or some misguided idelogy rather than facts, morals and ethics. Even after we know they're corrupt we elect them anyways. One day you could be Derek Chauvin. Nobody expects to be caught in circumstances like this but make no mistake, it could just as easily be you or a loved one. This doc. Shows just how corrupt and how complicit people will be in covering it up just to protect themselves. Our freedom is based on and centered around three simple words, "We The People." People should not fear their government, the government should fear it's people, it time for a course correction.

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...

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.

Not a big fan of documentaries, but this one hit home for me. I was deeply troubled by the social upheavals of 2020 & most notably this incident. From the beginning, I knew something was amiss with this entire story. The "facts" just did not make sense. This should make most sane people sit up and question the media, government officials and their lack of leadership.

This show was portrayed in a very open, honest and unbiased manner which is nearly unheard of today. Kudos to the creators. The interviews with the police and other officials are very telling. I hope this inspires our society to exercise more critical thinking.
