Well, that's not true, is it?

and if he did, it would have been mentioned in the coroner's report.
Not if it was fully dissolved/absorbed. OTOH, tox picked up the results.

There's still no evidence he swallowed his stash, no matter how many times you say it.

Close your eyes, put your fingers in your ears make a lot of noise wagging your tongue while screaming if you like.

It's very well produced documentary with extensive police bodycam footage of what actually happened with the cops involved. Wearing blinders is not a good practice for actually finding the truth should you ever decide to actually investigate the truth of the matter.

Well, when you figure the main talking head for this movie, and the woman who initiated the crowdfunding to make it, is the wife of a police union chief, that already says the film is going to plant a false narrative favorable to the police who killed George Floyd.

I have also noticed the makers of the film and Alpha News have completely saturated the internet with fake "press" about the movie, describing it in totally non-objective terms. It was deliberately not screened in advance for critics, for obvious reasons that it's not good-faith documentary filmmaking. It's a hatchet job designed to make the cops look like they were just doing their job.

It has not been licensed to any popular online streaming services (Netflix, etc.) because it's not a documentary made in good faith.

Instead of watching this, I simply go back to what actually happened, and what happened at Chauvin's trial.

Didn’t you want to kill me (and perhaps even the police) in some earlier posts?

No. You just made that up out of thin air.

The Fall of Minneapolis was made and funded by Alpha News.

Founded in 2015, Alpha News is a Minnesota online news network. They report the latest political news from the Capitol and local stories about government spending. According to a Star Tribune article dated March 11, 2015 — Alpha News Chief Capitol reporter Julia Erynn describes them as a “news organization” that generates revenue from advertising and private donors providing financial support. According to Star Tribune, “The launch of Alpha News was first promoted today by the Minnesota Tea Party Alliance on Facebook. Many of the initial news stories cover issues that the Minnesota Tea Party Alliance has advocated.”

Funded by / Ownership

Alpha News does not disclose ownership or funding on the website; however, there is a donation link, and there does not appear to be advertising. Alpha News also does not list an address on the website; however, according to the Star Tribune article referenced above, the address is linked to a UPS Store address. They list a phone number on the website that leads to Julia Erynn. According to ProPublica, they are a nonprofit.

Analysis / Bias

In review, Alpha News reports news with poor sourcing, such as using a Facebook page as a primary source: Gun-Control Group Issues Apology after Blaming Pro 2nd Amendment Groups and referring to their own experiences such as here: Anti-Sharia, ANTIFA, and Assault. Story selection always favors the right with almost daily negative coverage of Muslims, particularly Rep. Ilhan Omar. When reporting on Muslims, it is always negative, typically focusing on crimes they have committed or to illicit fear.

Alpha News routinely makes questionable claims such as this: New Evidence Supports Claims That Ilhan Omar Married Her Brother. This is an unproven conspiracy theory. In general, Alpha News reports news that is always favorable to the right and denigrates the left. Further, they lack transparency as they do not disclose their conservative bias.

Failed Fact Checks

A group of Somali teenagers used hammers to physically attack and injure several passersby at a train station in Minneapolis in May 2019. – False
Omar married her brother to get him US citizenship – No Evidence
“Data from around the world suggests that omicron favors the fully vaccinated.” – False
Overall, we rate Alpha News Questionable based on extreme right bias, poor sourcing of information, promotion of conspiracy theories, and anti-Islamic propaganda, as well as a lack of transparency regarding ownership. (M. Huitsing 8/16/2017) Updated (10/20/2023)

Why is Chaiuvin special to you is the more relevant question.
You claimed there was a growing number of people dying while being restrained in same way Floyd was. Shouldn’t there be other 2nd degree murder convictions to correspond to all these deaths???
Or was Chauvin convicted because of other reasons? Hmmm

---

I know you and other right-wingers have this martyr-victim fantasy that Chauvin was convicted by the "woke mob" that you love to jerk yourself off with, but you can't change the fact he was convicted by a jury who heard all the evidence; that an appeals court reaffirmed his convictions; and both the Minnesota Supreme Court and US Supreme Court refused to hear any further appeals from Chauvin.
He's guilty of murder, and you can't change that. Tough shite!

How many for second degree murder while on the job?

One

Derick Chauvin

---

Why do you keep repeating that? Do you have a point? Or do you think Chauvin did nothing wrong?
Chauvin's conviction was reaffirmed by an appeals court. Why can't you handle that? Why is Chauvin so special to you?

quote:

---

I asked specifically about 2nd degree murders.

---

There are many cases in the list where an officer(s) was found guilty of second-degree murder; second-degree manslaughter; involuntary manslaughter; reckless homicide; criminally negligent homicide, vehicular homicide, and other charges similar to and with sentences comparable to second-degree murder.

Here is a separate list of US police officers convicted of murder, specifically, with links:
