Dear Fire Chief Tyner,
It’s been two years since one of your firefighters killed George Floyd. Her remarkable story on the stand about how she “tried to render aid except for the bad men who stopped her” is contradicted by her own drawing.
Genevieve Hansen doesn’t move to render aid, instead, she surveys the situation from as safe a distance as possible and picks a fight with Thao when she has backup from MMA Fighter Donald Williams.
I’m not sure what her job performance was before Memorial Day 2020. I’m not sure what her job performance has been since. I do know that her performance on the stand was remarkable.
Dressed in a pressed MFD uniform she was combative with the Defense Counsel and the judge. Her description of events cast herself as some kind of victim superhero, who wanted so badly to render aid.
Except she doesn’t.
She doesn’t render aid. She doesn’t run across the street to get supplies. She doesn’t use her phone to call 911 Dispatch or EMTs from Fire Station 17 less than 2 minutes away.
Instead, she uses her phone to record 9 minutes of her screaming at cops.
Listen to the crowd level before Minneapolis Firefighter Genevieve Hansen arrives. Listen to how much the crowd level escalates after Minneapolis Firefighter Genevieve Hansen gets on the scene.
The escalation she causes in the crowd causes further, deadly, delay.
Rather than render immediate care to Floyd, paramedics are advised to “Load and Go” because 38th and Chicago has just been escalated by Minneapolis Firefighter Genevieve Hansen.
The last time I saw her Minneapolis Firefighter Genevieve Hansen claimed her screaming was care, acting like a teenager cosplaying in a Minneapolis Firefighter uniform on the stand.
Her hysterical screaming is the last thing George Floyd heard in this world.
I’ve lived in Minnesota for 50 years and I realize we don’t tell the truth about women. I also know the rule is if you tell the truth about the nature of women, people will dismiss your message.
Genevieve Hansen isn’t a woman; she’s a Minneapolis Firefighter.
The people of Minneapolis count on her to keep their lives and property safe. We count on her to keep calm under pressure and to save people’s lives. I don’t know how well she’s been doing that, but I know she hasn’t been charged for her role in the killing of George Floyd.
I don’t if she’s #metoo’d a supervisor yet, or filed a lawsuit claiming “sexism and bro culture” are holding women back in the MFD yet, or if she’s been a model Firefighter.
What I do know is Williams was at a safe distance when she arrived and not interfering with the arrest. I know Hansen has been lauded as some kind of feminist superhero for her role in the killing of George Floyd and the hundreds of millions of dollars of damages and settlements that resulted. I know her screeching hysterics were the last sounds George Floyd heard on this Earth.
Most importantly, I know, I’m not the only one who knows this.
