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..

The body cam videos played in it entirety its all we need to see. With your own two eyes you witness the police calmly trying to detain Floyd. I only needed to see that and compare it with what the "news" media portrayed to see the rot of the justice system.
They burnt down America over a manufactured lie. Sent 4 police officers to prison for doing their jobs. Shameful abuse of the law, the courts, journalism and all for what?
Interesting revelations about the autopsy and police training manuals but again the police body cams pretty much sums up what happened. I feel horrible for the 4 incarcerated policemen and for all the police that lost their precinct. The people at the top never get have to answer for their corruption and ineptitude.

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.

This is a documentary that everyone should see and question the information we are overly fed through the mainstream media.
How can you claim excessive anti-black racism when Mr. Floyd was arrested by an officer who's father is from Nigeria? And another is Asian?
How can you claim excessive violence when the autopsy report doesn't even state bruises on the body?
How can you send four policemen to prison doing a difficult job (ending in a tragic event) trying to arrest a small criminal with a huge physique, already arrested many times on drugs and violence charges, that is obviously intoxicated, has heart disease and is resisting arrest?
Herd mentality in the West explained within two hours by example of George Floyd's arrest...
Mainstream media that doesn't do research but follow the narrative of the powers that be.
Trying create havoc during the Trump Presidency.
Wake up and smell the stench of the deterioration of the US where party politics are more important than logic and truth.

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.

I pray to God that this documentary gains traction and that the alternate story - that is, the Truth - is widely distributed and acted upon. The victimized Minneapolis officers, including those victimized who shared their stories, are the epitome of professional, dedicated public servants. I pray too that they find peace in time and maintain their pride and regain their faith. Lastly, I pray that our country soon overcomes the ingrained dishonesty that led to this miscarriage. Please, everyone, watch the Glenn Loury and John McWhorter YouTube conversation about this doc and spread the word far.
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.

I recommend that everyone go onto Rumble or Twitter/X to watch this documentary. Because it's a factual truthful documentary that shows what actually happened when George Floyd died in 2020. And it shows how innocent the police are, and how they used race, lies, and deception to fool everyone into believing that the police were guilty and bad. Which is why they've been getting defunded, because of what happened on this day. That's why I support the police and back the thin blue line. I know that the police officers in jail right now are innocent, and those who falsely accused of those crimes should be punished by going to jail instead.

First off the critics whose minds will never be changed. The medical examiner's report is the the scientific examination of the body of George Floyd. He found no evidence that George Floyd died of asphyxiation. He found no bruising and no injury to the body. He found that he had severe cardiac diseases with blocking if his arteries. The physical exertion during his arrest lead to cardiac arrest with contributing factors were the fentanyl and meth found in his system.
The critical factor is the training manuals that show the technique was approved by the department and the Chief of Police lying. The angle of the video of Chavin's knee as the whether or not it blocked his artery or breathing is not supported by the autopsy report. From the angle provided in the videos from body cams you see his knee is more on the back of the shoulder and neck.
The previous arrest of Floyd where he used the same tactics trying to avoid arrest and that he ingested drugs to conceal them tell me that his behavior is deliberate and a tactic.
That within 36 seconds of taking him to the ground an ambulance was requested tells me these officers were concerned he may be suffering a medical episode. The delay of the response time by medical personnel is inexcusable but not taken into consideration as contributing to his death. There is a paramedic witness who spent her time video recording the event instead of calling 911 instead of assisting officers.
Critics point supposed previous complaints against Chauvin but ignore George Floyds extensive violent history and used of drugs. None Floys history was allowed but Chauvin's unsubstantiated citizen complaints were.
This was a political lynching of these officers. Officer Kueng is Black and he actually arrested and cuffed Floyd but no mention in the media stories he is black. He administered CPR. He called for the ambulance.
No change of venue due to prejudicial media coverage and the questions of BLM of jurors.
No this is a travesty. This is an example of the weaponization of the criminal justice system.

Why hasn't police chief Medaria Arradondo been tried for perjury? Either he'd have to admit that he lied when he said that the maneuver wasn't in the manual or he'd have to admit that he didn't know it was in the manual.
And if he didn't know it was in the manual, that means he is incompetent. Even worse, it'd mean that he isn't just incompetent as a police chief, but that he is incompetent in terms of not even bothering to research the manual before testifying.
He should be tried for perjury andvte officers should sue him personally. But maybe not because the officers, who are in jail, would probably be putting themselves in even graver danger of getting killed by other inmates.

This documentary is presented in a good chronological order, the way that makes. Finding and using the BWC of the many officers leaves no ambiguity as to what you're seeing and pausing it with caption to make sure you know what is being said or done.
The lies that were told, the evidence withheld is sickening.
The injustice these officers are going through is very sad and I hope they are released on appeals and the convictions vacated.
I sorta believed the media narrative at first, but always question the media and government.
Everyone I have showed this to says the same thing. "It's hard to trust the government".

The sheer number of lies told by witnesses is staggering! Every elected official who took the stand should be formally indicted for violating their oath of office and when found guilty, should be immediately removed from office and sent to prison! The judge in this case should also be removed from the bench for failing to allow all the evidence that contradicted the narrative perpetrated by the fake news media! Especially the MPD Training Manual clearly proving the officers followed departmental procedures based on their training. Also, the amount of elicit drugs found in Mr Floyd's system would render anyone in that condition a walking time bomb for a massive cardiovascular infarct! Bottom line, these officers did absolutely nothing wrong based on their MPD training! Shame on the main stream media! Free Press no longer simply reports the actual news! They choose the narrative that will shift the story in the direction they desire and could care less how their lies and propaganda affect innocent people in the process! All lives matter! Including those who put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe! I pray that those involved in all of this illegal and immoral nonsense grow a conscience and come clean! All Americans deserve to know all the facts and this film does just that! It is a must watch if you are a God fearing patriotic American! Thank you for telling the real story!
I could not find anywhere in the documentary that shows Derek Chauvin's bodycam footage. If you know the timestamp for that please respond. Also missing is body cam footage that shows at what point did Officer Chauvin put his knee on Floyd's neck; and at what point did he take his knee off Floyd's neck. It would seem that this video footage would be probative.
The video made reference to A restraint technique, MRT, however does not show any bodycam footage of the on-scene officers attempting to use this technique.
The bodycam footage does not show Officer Chauvin's actions while he had his knee on Floyd's neck. Hence it is impossible to jump to the conclusion that this film is exculpatory.
George Floyd's prior arrests etc. Is not exculpatory as far as Officer Chauvin's actions or inaction on the day of Floyd's arrest.

Finally the honest disclosure of all the facts placed in a well prepared documentary. Multiple clear examples of lying politicians from Minneapolis council members, mayor, Minnesota governor to the US president. Leadership abandoned the citizens and police of the city of Minneapolis allowing criminals to run free destroying the city. Murderapolis thrives the criminals rule and the leaders follows. Factual information that is investigated, multiple printed and proven accounts shown that were withheld from court proceedings. Have learned clearly traveling through Minneapolis is dangerous and you would likely be found guilty of stealing lead bullets after being shot by its occupants.

What happened to George Floyd was horrible, and this Documentary does not dispute that but there are so many other factors to what happened..
Bottom line is these Cops should not be in jail period..
What frustrates me is that this incident was so much more, and a lot of people in power exploited that for their own gain.
Powerful stuff, watch it and have an open mind.
All I remember from what happened is what I was told and why would any of us think any different? The media is powerful and we are all victims of its narrative.
George Floyd was no hero far from and we should all know the truth before judging.

I am not American but I have great interest in how our western democracies are being eroded from up high and all the way down. I also have two officers in my own family so the Thin Blue Line means a lot to me. I could see that politics and high powered interest groups were in control from 2020 in the USA. My heart breaks for the families of Police Officers who were sent to prison, esp. Officer Chavin. I pray that all those who lied and withheld the truth who were in positions of power to tell the truth have a huge moral crisis and find it impossible to live with themselves. Officer Chavin esp needs to sue the city and win at least 30m for what they have done to him and those who stabbed him recently 22x need to be brought to justice. The Floyd family needs to hang their heads in shame with blood money on their hands. Their relative was a violent criminal and drug dealer/addict. Our western society and justice system is severely broken bc of corruption at every level including the FBI. May God save America and make Her shine again as a beacon of Truth and justice for all. A great documentary as I saw many of these lies being told but now I pray for the facts here to set Minneapolis free along with the officers.
