\"\"<\/a>If you remember, 3 years and 5 months ago we were told repeatedly that Minneapolis white police officer Derick Chavin murdered black drug addict George Floyd by holding him on the ground with his knee on Floyd\u2019s neck while Floyd cried \u201cI can\u2019t breathe.\u201d<\/b><\/div>\n

The \u201cevidence\u201d was a video taken at a distance by a young black girl that was misleading because it suffered from camera perspective distortion as experts at the time explained but were ignored in the media hysteria focused on the police officer.\u00a0 <\/span>Moreover, Floyd\u2019s complaints that he couldn\u2019t breathe began when he was sitting in the patrol car.\u00a0 <\/span>As the up close police videos showed, Chauvin\u2019s knee was on Floyd\u2019s shoulder, the approved technique.\u00a0 <\/span>Chavin was restraining Floyd because he realized he had a fentanyl case on his hands, had called medics, and was restraining Floyd so he wouldn\u2019t thrash around and use up what little oxygen he was receiving.\u00a0 <\/span>Fentanyl kills, if my memory of my investigation is reliable, by depriving blood cells from carrying oxygen. \u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

I reported these facts at the time and cited the evidence including the coroner\u2019s report that Floyd\u2019s blood contained a multiple of the fatal dose of fentanyl.\u00a0 <\/span>But the false media narrative had no ears for the truth. \u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Chauvin was convicted by the media long prior to his trial, and no jury was going to go against solid national opinion. The jurors knew they would be denounced in the media and by politicians and would have Black Lives Matter and Antifa on their lawns.\u00a0 <\/span>Consequently, innocent police officers were convicted for a crime that did not happen. \u00a0The ignorant mob and corrupt media triumphed over justice.<\/b><\/p>\n

When I was young, conviction by the media prior to trial and a guilty verdict meant the case was dismissed because the jury pool was biased.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Tucker Carlson recently reported the facts in the first 3 minutes and 30 seconds of this video\u2013<\/b>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vgXuprXyPg0<\/b><\/a> .\u00a0 <\/span>What brought the facts to light again is a law suit filed by a prosecutor against her boss in which deposition under oath revealed the conversation between the prosecutor and the county medical advisor, who told her \u201cthat there were no medical findings that showed any injury to the vital structures of Mr Floyd\u2019s neck. There were no medical indications of asphyxia or strangulation.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

We know the facts, Tucker says, but what can we do about it?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Apparently nothing. Floyd, a drug addict who killed himself, has been made a martyr.\u00a0 <\/span>There are monuments to him. Taxpayers turned over $27 million of their money to Floyd\u2019s family.\u00a0 <\/span>This is another lie set in stone.\u00a0 <\/span>And innocent police rot in prison.<\/b><\/p>\n

This is America today.\u00a0 <\/span>Be a Proud American.<\/b><\/p>\n
