About this listen
This week marks 5 years since the death of George Floyd — an event that shook the nation and sparked months of protests and unrest. In this episode, we revisit the incident in full, including real-time reactions to the most revealing and difficult moments from the police body cam footage.
We believe law enforcement has a responsibility to preserve life, and the force used after Floyd became unresponsive was clearly excessive. But the media’s framing of this tragedy was deeply misleading from the start.
Before the full footage was ever released, the public was fed selectively edited clips that pushed a narrative centered entirely on race — a narrative that still shapes how people remember the case.
Our conclusion: The truth got lost in the narrative. And the media played a much bigger role than most are willing to admit.
