It's about the George Floyd incident in the summer of 2020, and it makes a very compelling case that everything you were fed about Floyd - and about Derek Chauvin, the Minneapolis policeman in prison for, essentially, being the most proximate human being to Floyd as he died from a fentanyl overdose - is a lie.
American cities - big ones, cities with NFL and NBA teams, cities with proud histories and Fortune 500 company headquarters - burned in the riots that followed Floyd's death.
The George Floyd riot was a spring-loaded trap designed to damage Donald Trump - and the America that made him president.
It ended up with Chauvin's knee pressing Floyd's upper torso to the pavement - something that was police procedure and part of officer training in Minneapolis, though Chauvin was denied the ability to present that in court later - in a vain attempt to get Floyd simply to comply with police commands.
Maxine Waters, perhaps the most egregious rabble-rousing demagogue in America, came to Minneapolis to threaten worse violence if Chauvin wasn't convicted.
Chauvin is more reviled than all the pedophile rapists and sadistic serial killers in the land because someone was needed to embody the myth of systemic police racism that fueled the Democrats' 2020 campaign and created a frightening atmosphere of chaos and lawlessness that helped dislodge Donald Trump from the White House.
Derek Chauvin probably should have been let go from the MPD. After the Floyd case, it would have been inconceivable that he would patrol those same streets, not just for his own safety but for that of his fellow officers.
