The truth will out...
26 December 2023
Or so William Shakespeare wrote in his play The Merchant of Venice. But that was back in 1596 England. In 2020s USA however it seems the truth will be buried under a blizzard of lies. So The Fall of Minneapolis starts with the death of George Floyd, an habitual criminal and drug addict as he resisted arrest for attempting to pass fake $50 bills. This chapter of the movie has never before published police body cam footage. The subsequent chapters show the violent riots which followed including the abandonment of a police precinct, the autopsy report which found no evidence of suffocation but did find almost 4 times a lethal dose of fentanyl in Floyd's blood, the attempts by law enforcement and FBI to pressure the doctor who performed the autopsy to change it's conclusion, the sham trail where the chief of police repeatedly lies regarding the use of maximal restraint technique (MRT) which his officers are trained to use.

There isn't much new here, apart from the body cam footage and phone interviews with some of the wrongly imprisoned police officers involved. Candice Owens covered the same events in her documentary, The Greatest Lie Ever Sold and anyone who has paid attention will know much of what is documented here. However if the movie reaches just one blue pill normy then it will have been worth while.
