It was 2020 and the virus had shut down the country, but it wasn't politicians who opened it back up. George Floyd did. His death on May 25th, 2020, unofficially ended the lockdowns, bringing millions of protesters out of quarantine and onto the streets. But the George Floyd's story is very different depending on who you talk to. He was arrested by Minneapolis police after a convenience store said he used counterfeit money. Fifteen minutes later, he was on the ground screaming he couldn't breathe, and then he was unconscious. America was consumed with anger and violence.. What's his name? John Floyd. Over two dozen people died. Fires were set, squad cars destroyed, businesses looted. Rioters caused nearly two billion dollars in damage. Police departments across the country were defunded. The police, the people, demoralized. This triggered a national crime wave, a pressure campaign to force critical race theory into schools, and a corporate shakedown that resulted in a massive transfer of wealth. So a highly respected, an award-winning journalist from Minneapolis named Liz Collins decided to investigate because any initial investigation into George Floyd was deemed racist and radioactive. Her documentary, out today called The Fall of Minneapolis, tells you things you haven't heard before.

Remember, this was the narrative. George Floyd was a healthy young man. But the medical examiner, Dr. Andrew Baker, found that he had two separate and very serious heart conditions. One artery was almost completely blocked, and Floyd had lethal traces of fentanyl in his system on top of COVID-19. The medical examiner continued, quote, If he were found dead at home alone and no other apparent causes, this could be acceptable to call an OD. Do you want something right now? No, nothing. If George Floyd would have told the truth about fentanyl and methamphetamine, could that have helped to save his life? Yes, it could have. That's proven by what happened the year before when he was arrested by Minneapolis police, and he was putting tablets in his mouth. So wait a second. Did you know that George Floyd had a similar interaction with police just a year before his death? How was George Floyd acting during that arrest in 2019? Everything was almost identical. I mean, the initial stop, when I first started to approach him, he was uncooperative. He wasn't listening to my commands. He was very agitated. Just keep your hands out where I can see him.

Hey. I don't see him. I don't see him. I don't see him. I don't see him. I don't see him. I don't see him. I don't-. Keep your hands where I can see him. Let me see your hands. Stay in the car. Let me see your other hands. During the time, I couldn't see his hands. He was moving around. We found out later he's probably eating dope. So this is a very important piece of material that the country was denied access to while Black Lives Matter wrecked our country. And what were police doing when they were wrecking the country? We were ordered not to do anything, waiting to be told what not to do next. Did you ever feel like there was a plan? I am reaching to the command post over and over again about what's our plan, what's our plan, what's our plan without any response whatsoever. They're not saying anything at all? Nope, nothing. Command post, do copy. Command, can you advise? The elections were coming up. Everything's politically driven. They were going to use this incident for a political narrative, and they did. Remember, this was an election year, and the media couldn't critique young voters.

They needed them fully engaged in a righteous cause. That it has been entirely peaceful, sometimes angry, but entirely peaceful. There was some of that, but for the most part, they have been very, very peaceful. Protest is a critical part of democracy. We cannot let protesters be likened to criminals. But most damning, our college's interviews with police officers who claim that the need of the necktactic, they call it maximum restraint technique, MRT, was something they were trained to do. Were you trained in MRT, the maximal restraint technique? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes, I was. Yes, we all were. Yes, all the police officers were trained in the MRT. Your police chief said on the stand that he didn't recognize that technique. I heard him say that. It's tough to hear people lie. Just straight lie. These officers are accusing the Minneapolis police chief of committing perjury during the George Floyd trial. The officers feel they were sacrificed for politics. Everything changed, and it didn't have to had we had strong leadership right from the very top. The governor, the mayor, here, our chief of police, city council of Minneapolis, the assistant chief and the deputy chiefs. This is how you treat your people.
