What if everything you were told about the trial of Derek Chauvin was a lie? Today, we're examining the terrible miscarriage of justice that took place in the case of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. This is a comprehensive multi-episode breakdown of the case. All the facts, all the evidence, all the political context. We're tearing this case apart piece by piece.
By the end, I think you'll agree with me that President Trump should immediately pardon Derek Chauvin for his federal convictions. New episodes of the series drop Tuesdays and Thursdays.

This is the case for Derek Chauvin. Episode 2, The Incident. So, folks, yesterday, Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt explicitly said that President Trump is not considering a pardon for Derek Chauvin at this time, which, of course, is perfectly fine and, frankly, expected at this stage. The clear pattern we've seen time and again is the grassroots movement build momentum first.
Concerned citizens speak out consistently. Eventually, those voices permeate the administration's awareness and influence what makes it onto the president's agenda. That's precisely what happened with the January 6th defendants and others who received pardons or commutations. The administration initially distanced itself from those cases too, but then public pressure mounted.
This statement from Caroline Lovett isn't a reason to stop educating yourself on the issue or to remain silent if you believe a terrible injustice has occurred. In fact, it is even a better reason for citizens to familiarize themselves with the facts, analyze the case objectively, and speak out if they believe our justice system has failed. Now, let's dive into the incident. Memorial Day 2020.
The country was nearly three months into the COVID-19 lockdowns. Businesses were closed. Millions were unemployed. People were increasingly frustrated with government-imposed restrictions on their daily lives. Minneapolis, like many urban centers across America, was experiencing this pressure cooker environment, along with pre-existing tensions between law enforcement and minority communities.
Minneapolis had been a laboratory for progressive criminal justice policies. Racial tensions had been mounting for years. Following the 2014 shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and the subsequent Hands Up, Don't Shoot narrative, the Black Lives Matter movement had gained significant influence over police policy nationwide.
Minneapolis was at the forefront of implementing reforms that restricted officers' ability to effectively police high crime areas. To understand the full context, we actually need to go back to the 1990s, when critical race theory began to migrate from the academic fringes into mainstream discourse.
Scholars like Derrick Bell and Kimberly Crenshaw push the idea that America is fundamentally racist at its core, that our entire system is designed to oppress minorities, that concepts like colorblindness, equal opportunity, meritocracy are themselves racist constructs.
