A lot of people are extremely angry and determined to change things. Unfortunately, the source of their anger is increasingly likely to be based on a false narrative. In Minneapolis Derek Chauvin, goes on trial. The town is already boarding up. There is a security perimeter around City Hall and the Court House. Following is a report about what is happening:
Much of the violence last summer was in protest of the death of George Floyd. This was portrayed as a classic example of unnecessary police brutality. The story was clear and undeniable. A police officer, Derek Chauvin was seen in a video kneeling on Floyd’s neck for nine minutes. Floyd died on the scene. The narrative is that police killed George Floyd solely because he was black. We were told that all during this time Floyd cried out that he couldn’t breathe. There was outraged expressed by everyone, liberal and conservative, Democrat and Republican. But the problem is almost everything you know about this incident is wrong. The MSM still absolutely refuses to report all of the facts. They would rather see the outrage and the violence.
We were told that this was solely because Floyd was accused of using a $20 counterfeit bill. He was handcuffed and pinned to the ground by three heavily armed police officers, who literally killed him in the process. So far there have been at least 1,700 cities and towns where George Floyd has been a rallying cry for police brutality.
But the reason Minneapolis is putting up those fences is that Officer Chauvin is very likely to be acquitted by a jury. It is hard to imagine Chauvin getting a fair trial, in Minneapolis. One would think this would last about two minutes with a quick guilty verdict. But the known, but not public, facts paint a very different picture.
Police didn’t arrest George Floyd because he was black and because he allegedly tried to cash a counterfeit $20 bill. They confronted him because of a 911 call.
Here is the text of that call:
George Floyd: Minneapolis police release 911 call that led to arrest – CNN
“He was sitting in his car and described as awfully drunk and not in control.”
The autopsy said this was a homicide caused by the police officer leaning on his neck. But if you read the actual autopsy it becomes clear that this was a politically motivated opinion.

People would have been outraged if this were not ruled a homicide. What is not widely knows is that the official autopsy ruled out asphyxia. The police did not kill him. George Floyd had severe arteriosclerotic heart disease and hypertensive heart disease.
He tested positive for Caffein, Cotinine, 4-ANPP, THC, Meth, Fentanyl, Norfentanyl, Cannaboids, Amphetamines, and Morphine.
Here is the actual autopsy report:

One notes that there were NO life-threatening injuries identified. In other words, nothing the police did killed him. I have seen credible reports that he had so many drugs in his system that he may have died even if Police had not been involved at all.
The restraint used by Officer Chauvin is what they are taught to do, to avoid injuring a suspect. Someone who can’t breathe cannot say “I can’t breathe.” It is true that Floyd died on the scene. It far from clear that the police killed him. The jury will not hear breathtaking reports from CNN. They will see the entire video of the event. They will hear real eyewitness testimony. They will learn that police actually treated Floyd with patience and respect, for several minutes. The physical confrontation happened when Floyd refused to get in the squad car. They will be getting the full autopsy report and there will be defense experts who will explain that nothing Officer Chauvin did contributed to his death. In Minneapolis, Chauvin may be convicted anyway, because everyone fears widespread violence if he is not found guilty. But he may also be acquitted, because unless there is other evidence out there, his attorneys will probably be able to prove that he wasn’t killed by Chauvin.
This does not mean police did everything right. They probably should have realized he was in serious trouble because of his intoxication. They probably should have called an EMT immediately and that might have changed the outcome. But being wrong doesn’t make anyone a murderer. No one benefited from this false narrative. We even have professional athletes refusing to kneel for the National Anthem and promoting BLM because George Floyd is embolic of systemic racism. We have a President of the United States on a mission to end systemic racism, at least partially based on what happened to George Floyd.
There has also been a false narrative about an armed insurrection on January 6th, 2021. But police confiscated no firearms. The only person shot was killed by a Capitol Police Officer. The police officer who died, may have died from a stroke. There is no evidence he was hit by a fire extinguisher. Now they are searching to see if someone “could” have caused his death by using bear spray. The Proud Boy who was called a ringleader by the FBI was just released, without bail, by the Judge, who said there was no evidence he did anything other than go along with the crowd.
These false narratives are literally tearing this country apart. The good news is that all of these narratives are falling apart. The truth is becoming more obvious. The bad news is that the MSM and the DNC will not care. They will continue to lie, even when the lie has been totally discredited. If you doubt that, check out how people still push the thoroughly discredited Russia collusion narrative.
But the sun is starting to shine, in spite of the best efforts of those who want to throw shade on things. The lies about COVID are being revealed. Sunlight is the best disinfectant, it is on the way, and no one can change that. Here comes the sun and it is going to change everything.
