Memo to Biden: What About The Other Whistleblowers?

Darnella Frazier is a whistleblower.  She’s an important one.  Few Americans will know her name, but we should all be thanking her.

Darnella is the 17-year-old who took the video of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin murdering George Floyd.  That video has become the de facto official record of Floyd’s death.  Where would we be without it? 

The Minneapolis Police Department’s initial account was entitled, “Man Dies After Medical Incident During Police Interaction.”  It said that police had been called to a Chicago Avenue South address for a “forgery in progress,” that Floyd “appeared to be under the influence,” and that he was “detained without the use of any weapons.”  Almost every word in that statement was a lie, of course.  The weapon used was Derek Chauvin’s knee.  And thanks to Darnella Frazier, we know the truth.
