A Conversation with Liz Collin, author of "They're Lying" and "The Fall of Minneapolis"

A Conversation with Liz Collin, author of

Former Minneapolis police officers, Chris and Karina Kelley, talk with Liz Collin, the author of the best-selling book, "They're Lying" as well as the Director/Producer of the movie, "The Fall of Minneapolis". Liz Collin is an award-winning journalist who formerly worked at the CBS affiliate, WCCO news, in the Twin Cities and due to her affiliation with the former Minneapolis Police Union Leader, Bob Kroll (they are married) she was "blacklisted" and finally resigned. Liz now works as an anchor/podcaster at Alpha News in the Twin Cities and is grateful to be working with a team of journalists who allow her to be bold and tell the truth. Liz tells us that she and her writing partner, Dr. J.C. Chaix, decided to write about "The Media, The Left, and The Death of George Floyd" to counter the deceitful narrative around the unfortunate death of George Floyd.
As officers who were working at the Fifth Precinct, night watch shift, Chris and I know exactly what it was like during the 2020 riots, as we were patrolling the city as a 911 responder and seeing the devastation first-hand. Chris and I were astonished at all the additional information we learned from the book that we did not know at the time; this incident should have never happened! What also shouldn't have happened was the inept, or lack of leadership by the MPD command staff as well as city and state leadership. This terrible tragedy was compounded by terrible lies, misinformation, and exploited for political purposes.  Countless lives and livelihoods were ruined due to a false narrative and the continued demonization of police officers everywhere has taken its toll on communities and the rank and file.
