The crowd-funded documentary is produced by journalist Liz Collin to highlight what she describes as a global rush to judgment in the case, led by Democratic politicians, that ultimately resulted in the proliferation of criminals across United States.
“The Fall of Minneapolis” lends credence to the theory that Floyd’s autopsy, which initially found no evidence of asphyxiation, was altered by the FBI to indicate that Chauvin killed Floyd by kneeling on his neck.
It also features other Minneapolis police officers who all claim that when Chauvin restrained Floyd, he was acting in accordance with his training, and accuse the prosecution of suppressing evidence that could have exonerated Chauvin.
