Some of the claims central to this rewritten narrative are presented as new information, though they were raised at Chauvin's trial. Others are blatantly false or lack critical context.

Of course they are rewriting the narrative; the aggressors are the victims in darvo maga land.

We're not blind. Everyone saw his murder from 5 different angles. Are people that stupid as to have someone tell them what they saw didn't happen? All this social media crap is our downfall. Too lazy or stupid to ferret out real facts, some people allow the Internet to dictate their thinking.

I watched Chauvin’s trial. It was fair. His defense raised their questions about the autopsy results. And the idea that the jury was intimidated is just ridiculous.

Floyd's death didn't "unify Americans in condemning injustice". The same people who recognized the injustice still do - and the same people who didn't still don't. The key difference is that those who did are all members of a political party with zero influence in the country right now.

Lucky for this story there is multiple unedited video evidence. Deniers and racist leaders can try to write in words what they want people to believe… but the unedited videos tell the killing of George Floyd in real time. IF YOU SEE INJUSTICE SAY SOMETHING!

The evidence doesn't matter when the justification being used by those on the Right is that most black and brown people are criminals or deserve whatever happens to them. They are fabricating excuses for murder. We're way past simply having evidence mattering...

The entirety Of US history is being lied about and rewritten by the GOp.
