00:00:00.000 The death of George Floyd.
00:00:02.000 If you are interested in finding the truth, you've come to the right place.
00:00:06.000 I am not going to make the case that George Floyd deserved death, nor am I going to make the case that Derek Chauvin is completely innocent.
00:00:14.000 I'm instead going to present facts, evidence that no one else is talking about.
00:00:20.000 You can come to your own conclusions in the comment section or in emails to your friends.
00:00:25.000 You can draw any conclusion that you see fit.
00:00:28.000 But you are going to find by the end of this video that there are lots of pieces of information that have been withheld from you.
00:00:34.000 So there are five big lies around the death of George Floyd.
00:00:38.000 Number one, the biggest lie is that this was purely and simply a racially motivated incident.
00:00:46.000 The narrative that a majority of Americans have been led to believe is that George Floyd was an innocent man walking the street and white police officers decided to pull over their car and target him for no reason.
00:01:00.000 The first question we should ask is, how did George Floyd get in an altercation with the police officers in the first place?
00:01:07.000 I am reading from a terrific website, unwokenarrative.com, and a lot of the research and the evidence and the facts that I will be sharing with you are from this article and the work they have done, the truth about George Floyd's death.
00:01:21.000 George Floyd was suspected of using counterfeit currency and counterfeit bills at a local store in his neighborhood.
00:01:30.000 Two officers, Lane and Kung, were informed that a man in a blue Mercedes-Benz was parked in front of Cup Foods using fake bills.
00:01:40.000 When police officers approached the vehicle, Floyd was shoving counterfeit bills into the side of his seat.
00:01:48.000 Now, just to give you a little bit of a frame of reference, these police officers had perfectly pleasant interactions with other black people surrounding the arrest of George Floyd.
00:01:58.000 Play tape.
00:01:59.000 What's going on?
00:02:06.000 We have problems all the time when they come, especially when that man stripped that gun like that.
00:02:10.000 It's been one.
00:02:11.000 So as you can see there, the police officers had a perfectly pleasant and cordial conversation with other black people right near the scene of the arrest. 0.60
00:02:21.000 George Floyd left the vehicle after being asked by police officers and began resisting arrest.
00:02:28.000 In fact, if you watch the entire video, you will find George Floyd resisting the police officers' direct orders multiple times.
00:02:38.000 Play video.
00:02:46.000 Take a seat.
00:02:47.000 Grab a seat.
00:02:49.000 I'm not that kind of guy.
00:02:51.000 I'm not that kind of guy, man.
00:02:52.000 Take a seat.
00:02:53.000 Y'all, I'm a diet here.
00:02:55.000 I'm a die, man.
00:02:56.000 You need to take a seat right now.
00:02:58.000 Now, you notice the officers even asked him if he was on something because he was acting so erratic and was foaming at the mouth.
00:03:06.000 We will get to the autopsy in just a second, but the autopsy later revealed that George Floyd had lethal amounts of fentanyl and smaller amounts of methamphetamine in his system at the time of his death.
00:03:19.000 Police officers then directed George Floyd to get into the police squad car.
00:03:23.000 Now, it's so interesting when you watch this video in full, and unwokenarrative.com, what a great name for a website, mentions this, that George Floyd complained that he could not breathe seven times before any police officer touched anything near his neck.
00:03:40.000 But here's another piece of very interesting footage from the encounter where George Floyd is saying, I can't breathe while he's in the cop car.
00:03:52.000 Play tape.
00:03:53.000 Another bad guy, man, in the car.
00:03:55.000 Another bad guy!
00:03:56.000 Ah!
00:03:57.000 Oh, God!
00:03:59.000 Man!
00:04:00.000 Oh, my God!
00:04:02.000 Please, sit!
00:04:03.000 Take a seat!
00:04:03.000 Please!
00:04:06.000 No, no, no, I have to take a seat!
00:04:09.000 I can't joke!
00:04:10.000 I can't breathe, I'm gonna.
00:04:11.000 Please!
00:04:12.000 Please!
00:04:15.000 My wrist, man!
00:04:16.000 My wrist, man!
00:04:17.000 Please!
00:04:25.000 I'm on the ground!
00:04:33.000 So this brings us to the second lie that almost everyone has been led to believe, that George Floyd was thrown on the ground.
00:04:42.000 George Floyd asked to go on the ground.
00:04:46.000 After he resisted arrest, while he was high on fentanyl and methamphetamine, he requested to go on the ground.
00:04:53.000 Quote, I want to lay on the ground.
00:04:55.000 I want to lay on the ground.
00:04:56.000 I want to lay on the ground.
00:04:58.000 Three times, George Floyd asked to go on the ground.
00:05:02.000 And again, saying that he could not breathe seven times.
00:05:07.000 You will see that Floyd was incoherent, foaming at the mouth, and erratic, not listening to police officers' requests to calm down and wait in the squad car.
00:05:19.000 Police officers even went as far as say, I'll turn on the air conditioning.
00:05:22.000 I'll open the window.
00:05:23.000 Police officers are trained to put someone who was arrested in a cop car.
00:05:29.000 This is the next cut that's very interesting.
00:05:32.000 George Floyd even tells the police officers that he has the Chinese coronavirus, that he has COVID.
00:05:39.000 Later tests will show that he did have a positive test for COVID.
00:05:43.000 Play tape.
00:05:47.000 I'm going to die, man.
00:05:48.000 You need to take a seat right now. 0.97
00:05:49.000 And I just had COVID, man.
00:05:50.000 I want to go into that.
00:05:52.000 I'll roll the windows down.
00:05:53.000 Hey, listen.
00:05:54.000 Listen.
00:05:54.000 Dang, man.
00:05:55.000 I'm not that kind of guy.
00:05:56.000 I'll roll the windows down.
00:05:59.000 God, look at that.
00:06:00.000 Look at this.
00:06:00.000 Not even look at me.
00:06:01.000 Look at it.
00:06:02.000 Look at it.
00:06:02.000 We can picture it now while you stand in the back.
00:06:07.000 Now, from that point, George Floyd, after he requested to go on the ground, he went on the ground.
00:06:13.000 Derek Chauvin shows up.
00:06:15.000 Derek Chauvin then infamously put his knee on George Floyd's neck.
00:06:20.000 You have all seen this picture.
00:06:23.000 A popular narrative, which is lie three as it comes to the death of George Floyd, is that Chauvin had no precedent whatsoever to put his knee on George Floyd's neck.
00:06:33.000 That is not true.
00:06:34.000 The Minnesota police are trained to do so.
00:06:37.000 In fact, this is part of their training procedure.
00:06:39.000 And I quote: compressing one or both sides of a person's neck with an arm or leg without applying direct pressure to the trachea or airway, otherwise known as the front of the neck.
00:06:49.000 So putting a knee on the back of George Floyd's neck was not against Minnesota training protocol.
00:06:56.000 Now, I do think that there is a fair argument that Derek Chauvin had his knee on George Floyd's neck for far too long.
00:07:02.000 Derek Chauvin very well might be guilty of manslaughter or third-degree murder.
00:07:07.000 However, to say that he was going out of his way to make up some form of arrest towards George Floyd is simply and factually untrue, which leads us to the fourth biggest lie around the death of George Floyd, which is that we know how George Floyd died and we don't.
00:07:26.000 In fact, there are two contradicting autopsies.
00:07:30.000 The first autopsy that was conducted concluded that George Floyd had a significant, in fact, a lethal amount of fentanyl in his system.
00:07:43.000 In fact, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's autopsy report said that Floyd experienced, quote, fentanyl intoxication and quote, recent methamphetamine use, and that they were, quote, significant conditions leading to his death.
00:07:59.000 In another document, Baker, Dr. Andrew Baker, the Hennepin County medical examiner, who has no political agenda whatsoever, said, quote, that is a fatal level of fentanyl under normal circumstances.
00:08:14.000 In a memo filed on May 26, Dr. Baker concluded that, quote, the autopsy revealed no physical evidence suggesting that Mr. Floyd died of asphyxiation or suffocation.
00:08:27.000 Let me say that again.
00:08:28.000 The medical examiner for Hennepin County said, quote, the autopsy revealed no physical evidence suggesting that Mr. Floyd died of suffocation.
00:08:39.000 Now, prior to issuing the autopsy report, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner preliminary found that, quote, autopsy revealed no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumata asphyxia or strangulation.
00:08:54.000 And Mr. Floyd also had underlying health conditions, including coronary artery disease and hypertensive heart disease, otherwise known as an enlarged heart.
00:09:05.000 Again, this is from unwokenarrative.com, credit where credit is due.
00:09:10.000 They found a significant amount, as previously mentioned, of fentanyl, methamphetamine, delta-9 carboxy, delta-9 THC, cotinine, caffeine, fentanyl.
00:09:22.000 You can see it all on your screen here.
00:09:24.000 And again, George Floyd had an enlarged heart.
00:09:27.000 He had a number of natural diseases such as heart disease and clinical history of hypertension.
00:09:34.000 Now, there was a second autopsy that was ordered by George Floyd's family because they were dissatisfied with the first one and its findings.
00:09:41.000 It did find that George Floyd, according to the second autopsy that was performed by Dr. Michael Baden, the former chief medical examiner of New York City, and Dr. Alicia Wilson of University of Michigan, that in the re-autopsy findings, they found that, quote, have seen accounts from the complaint and based on that, yes, our findings do differ from the Hennepin County Medical Examiner.
00:10:04.000 However, they found that there is mechanical or traumatic asphyxia, but Dr. Wilson, who was hired for the re-autopsy, said that they did not have access to toxicology results, tissue samples, or some organs, but added that those items, quote, are not likely to change the results of the re-autopsy.
00:10:26.000 So there are two contradicting autopsies, one that say that there was no possible strangulation and one that says there was possible strangulation.
00:10:39.000 Now, the truth will have to be decided by the jury, but to say that we know conclusively is not true, and that the original autopsy by the actual local county medical examiner found that the fentanyl and the methamphetamine played a conclusive role.
00:10:56.000 In fact, according to courthouse news, the Star Tribune, quote, Floyd was possibly dying even before he encountered the police.
00:11:05.000 And this is a very important point to note.
00:11:07.000 You could draw your own conclusions of whether or not you think that it was strangulation or drugs or a mixture of both, is, quote, if George Floyd were found dead at home alone with no other apparent causes, this could be acceptable to be called an overdose.
00:11:24.000 Deaths have been certified with levels of three.
00:11:28.000 And again, to repeat this, this is a fatal level of fentanyl under normal circumstances.
00:11:35.000 The fifth lie when it comes to George Floyd and his death was that George Floyd was wrongly targeted, that this was racism and just a micro example of macro racism.
00:11:48.000 That is not at all true.
00:11:50.000 Every other black person in this encounter was treated fairly, communicated to directly, and no one was targeted because of their skin color.
00:11:58.000 In fact, there is evidence to suggest that Derek Chauvin and George Floyd had a shared history of disagreement and confrontation.
00:12:08.000 Not that this was a random person on the side of the street that was profiled simply because of their race.
00:12:15.000 George Floyd also might have died of excited delirium.
00:12:20.000 And it's more than just being panicked and fearful.
00:12:22.000 Approximately two-thirds of people diagnosed with excited delirium die at the scene or during police or paramedic transport to a hospital, according to health.com.
00:12:33.000 Unwoke narrative summarizes all of this perfectly.
00:12:36.000 I'm going to read directly.
00:12:38.000 George Floyd was under the influence of various drugs, had dangerous pre-existing health issues, and may have experienced excited delirium in his final moments.
00:12:48.000 All factors which could have resulted in death without police presence.
00:12:52.000 George Floyd resisted arrest, as you saw in the video.
00:12:55.000 And officers' restraint was up to the police code of Minneapolis.
00:13:01.000 Now, the death of anyone under arrest is a tragedy.
00:13:06.000 It is not an outcome that anyone wants.
00:13:09.000 However, to use that specific incident and say that this was 100% racially motivated, that George Floyd was thrown on the ground, which is not true, to say that Chauvin had no precedent to put his knee on his neck, which is not true.
00:13:23.000 It's in their training manual.
00:13:24.000 Now, you might say it shouldn't be, but that is a different argument than saying that Derek Chauvin acted improperly.
00:13:31.000 To say that you know 100% what the cause of death was when there's two contradicting autopsies.
00:13:37.000 And number five, to say that Floyd was wrongly targeted, those five lies all of a sudden led to one of the most misleading, destructive, and divisive moments in American political history, which led to the power of BLM Incorporated, to the worsening of racial tensions in our country, to the flow of billions of dollars to groups that promote critical race theory, to the defunding of the Minneapolis police,
00:14:04.000 to the burning of the Portland courthouse, to the targeting and death of black police officers across the country.
00:14:14.000 All of that would have been preventable if we had a responsible media that would have told you the facts of this case.
00:14:21.000 But here's what's going to happen next.
00:14:23.000 Anyone that watches this video that is not, let's say, enlightened, might be under the hypnosis of the woke industrial complex, they're going to call for this video to be removed from social media.
00:14:36.000 They're going to go to all the tech censors.
00:14:38.000 So do us a favor, share this video with your friends.
00:14:41.000 And number two, if Derek Chauvin gets anything less than a public lynching, which of course he won't, BLM Incorporated is going to burn the cities of this country to the ground.
00:14:56.000 The only thing that will prevent that are the facts that I just shared with you, that this was not an incident that anyone wanted to see happen, including everyone that tried to get George Floyd to sit down and calm down and allow the process to play out.
00:15:11.000 Know the facts.
00:15:13.000 The facts show you that there's a lot more to this story than the activist media might tell you.
00:15:18.000 And that will prevent the next round of violence in our country from occurring.
00:15:24.000 They want you to believe that this was as simple as Derek Chauvin pulling over his car, seeing a random black man, arresting him for no reason, and putting his knee on his neck for no reason whatsoever.
00:15:36.000 We have debunked that, not just to say that's untrue, but it's the opposite of the truth.
00:15:42.000 That George Floyd was trading counterfeit bills, that he was not just high on fentanyl methamphetamine, but had a fatal dose of it.
00:15:50.000 He resisted arrest.
00:15:52.000 He was saying he couldn't breathe seven times before he was actually brought down to the ground.
00:15:57.000 He requested to be brought down to the ground, and Derek Chauvin did what his manual told him to do.
00:16:02.000 And then Derek Chauvin likely had his knee on his neck for too long and will let the justice system play itself out.
00:16:10.000 That is a complicated story, not a black and white, right and wrong, burn it all to the ground story.
00:16:18.000 Resist emotion.
00:16:20.000 Go to facts and logic, especially when it comes to this.
00:16:23.000 Please share this video with your friends if you dare stand up against the woke mob.
00:16:28.000 God bless.
