A high-ranking officer with the Minneapolis Police Department has sued media figure Liz Collin and Alpha News for defamation over claims made in the film “The Fall of Minneapolis” and a similarly themed book.

In the lawsuit filed Tuesday in Hennepin County District Court, Katie Blackwell, the assistant chief of operations for MPD, argues statements Collin made in her film and book about Blackwell’s testimony during the state and federal trials in the murder of George Floyd are lies.

Those lies “have clouded Blackwell’s career,” the lawsuit alleges.

I have 0 interest in watching the film, so thankfully Minnesota Reformer watched it so we don't have to:
