The death of George Floyd was well documented by onlookers and security cameras, and two separate autopsies determined that his death was a homicide. But that didnt stop Tucker Carlson from trying to act like new body cam footage leaked to the Daily Mail this week somehow changes the story completely.
Tucker started the lengthy opening portion of his show on Tuesday acknowledging that Floyds death was a monumental event in American history, and then went straight to acting as though we really know nothing about this case at all.
On Memorial Day weekend of this year, a man called George Floyd died in police custody in Minneapolis, and America has not been the same since. It may never be the same. In the months following that incident, Floyds death has been used to justify a nationwide convulsion of violence, destruction, looting, in some cases killing, and all of that in addition to unprecedented levels of political upheaval. The wholesale reordering of our most basic institutions, Carlson exaggerated.
Floyds death changed everything. It was a pivot point in American history. No matter what side youre on, thats very clear at this point. So with all of that in mind, the significance of the event in mind, its striking how little we really know months later about how exactly George Floyd died. The official storyline is clear, it couldnt be clearer. Established news organizations state as a matter of factual certainty that Floyd was, in the words of NBC News and so many others, quote, murdered by a Minneapolis police officer.
