Mike McDaniel at the American Thinker today in a post entitled George Floyd: Did a police administrator commit perjury? discusses the Derek Chauvin case concerning the death of George Floyd . Many of us have known or at least suspected that the police officers involved in the arrest of Floyd were just doing their jobs and did so within standard operating procedures of the Minneapolis Police Department. But like the case of George Zimmerman killing Travon Martin in self defense, or the case of the police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, the media, a certain segment of the Black community, and the Left seemed to want to tar and feather the "white guy." The Left I understand wants to create as much chaos as possible in order to sow distrust of the police in the minds of the average citizen. In the case of certain segment of the Black community, it is anybody's guess why they participate in this scam.
I’ve been covering the George Floyd case since its inception. Floyd was a drug-addicted violent felon. Among his arrests/convictions were three armed robberies, six burglaries, three car thefts, and holding a gun to the belly of a very pregnant robbery victim. When Minneapolis PD officer Derek Chauvin and three others met him, he was trying to pass a counterfeit bill and resisted arrest. Such behavior is not usually associated with saints, but the Democrats/socialists/communists (D/s/cs) in control of Minneapolis gave him special dispensation.
Floyd actually died from his drug-induced, severe health problems, but the narrative demanded he be killed by a supposed “choke restraint” applied by Chauvin, who was convicted and is currently in prison, having survived one shanking there. At Chauvin’s trial, despite clear evidence the technique applied by Chauvin was not only taught at the MPD Academy, but was standard operating procedure (SOP), the mob demanded his conviction and they were rewarded. Now it appears, the truth is coming out:
"Fourteen current and former police officers with the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) have signed sworn declarations which say they believe MPD Assistant Chief Katie Blackwell perjured herself when testifying in former MPD officer Derek Chauvin’s murder trial.
Specifically, the group of former officers say they believe Blackwell perjured herself when she testified in court that the restraint method Chauvin used to subdue George Floyd in May 2020 was not a part of MPD officer training. In that trial, Chauvin was found guilty of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter. He was sentenced to 22 years in prison.
However, many say the knee-on-neck restraint Chauvin employed was trained under the maximal-restraint technique (MRT), a restraint the MPD taught and allowed until 2023."
This wouldn’t have come to light were it not for a lawsuit filed by Blackwell against Alpha News, a reporter and producer and a publishing company.
“With this motion, 33 former MPD officers who served with Blackwell, and one who currently serves with her, have sworn that MPD trained this restraint as part of the ‘maximal-restraint technique’ (‘MRT’) and otherwise. Indeed, 14 of these officers have sworn—under oath—their belief that Blackwell perjured herself,” wrote attorney Chris Madel in this week’s motion.
These officers, according to the motion, “swore that this training was well known—indeed, common knowledge—and omnipresent.”
Please read the whole post by McDaniel. Let us hope that the lawsuit filed by police administrator Blackwell ends up exonerating Chauvin:
Those 14 statements were among dozens of declarations submitted by lawyers representing Alpha News in a defamation lawsuit brought by Blackwell last October against Alpha News, Alpha News reporter Liz Collin, producer J.C. Chaix, and a publishing company. In her lawsuit, Blackwell alleged that the Alpha News documentary film The Fall of Minneapolis and a book authored by Collin wrongly accused Blackwell of lying.
This week, lawyers for Alpha News filed a 113-page motion with 592 footnotes to have the case dismissed with prejudice.
