Thought you knew everything about the death of George Floyd while in custody by officers of the Minneapolis Police Department?
“The Fall of Minneapolis” is a fascinating new documentary reexamining the entire situation from the initial arrest of George Floyd , to the aftermath of a city forever altered by riots and severe damage to a police department thrown to the wolves by state and city leaders.
“The Fall of Minneapolis”, reveals shocking information to viewers regarding evidence rejected by the presiding judge of the Derek Chauvin trial.
What was not shown to jurors? Anything that would have cast doubt on the narrative of racist police killing an innocent black man such as:
- Key police bodycam footage from different angles during the arrest of restraint of Floyd
- The Minneapolis Police Department training manual detailing the use of Maximal Restraint Technique (MRT) as a means of restraining a non-compliant suspect.
- The fact the original arresting officer of Floyd was black.
The documentary also recounts the demoralizing surrender of Precinct 3 to rioters / arsonists by city officials. Heartbroken officers detail how that event led to many of them giving up their careers in law enforcement. They also say the quiet part out loud : many people are losing faith in the ability of the law to protect the people.
