ICYMI – In the wake of George Floyd’s death in 2020, America was swept up in a wave of protests and riots in what is now referred to as the “Summer of Love”. However, a crowdfunded documentary titled “The Fall of Minneapolis,” produced by Liz Collin, seeks to challenge the narrative that has been fed to the public.
The documentary uncovers shocking allegations of injustices and manipulation of facts during Derek Chauvin’s trial. It delves into the controversial aspects of the case, including false testimony, withheld bodycam footage, and an altered autopsy report.
According to the film, the original autopsy report by Hennepin County Medical Examiner Dr. Andrew Baker did not find evidence of asphyxiation or strangulation. Instead, toxicology tests showed that Floyd had a “fatal level of fentanyl” in his system. Despite this, the official autopsy report was later modified to attribute Floyd’s death to actions taken by law enforcement.
Adding to the controversy, the documentary reveals that Chauvin used a technique called the maximal restraint technique (MRT) during Floyd’s arrest. This was an approved method taught to Minneapolis police officers. The film questions why the bystander video and the bodycam footage don’t align when it comes to the position of Chauvin’s knee during the arrest.
The documentary also uncovers a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by former Hennepin County prosecutor Amy Sweasy. It details a revolt within the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office over charging Chauvin’s fellow officers with aiding and abetting second-degree murder.

“The Fall of Minneapolis” posits that the events surrounding Floyd’s death and the subsequent riots were politically motivated. It argues that operatives of the Democratic Party exploited the “Defund the Police” movement to undermine then-President Donald Trump. The film criticizes political leaders, including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Governor Tim Walz, for their handling of the situation and their failure to take responsibility.
“The Fall of Minneapolis” is a brave attempt to challenge the prevailing narrative around George Floyd’s death. It seeks to shed light on alleged injustices and manipulation of facts during the trial. The documentary serves as a reminder that truth and justice should always prevail, no matter how politically inconvenient they may be.
