A man who was among the onlookers shouting at a Minneapolis police officer to get off George Floyd last May has testified that he dialled police after paramedics took Mr Floyd away 'because I believed I witnessed a murder'.

Mr Williams recalled that Mr Floyd's voice grew thicker as his breathing became more laboured and he eventually stopped moving.

Mr Nelson pointed out that Mr Williams seemed to grow increasingly angry at police on the scene, swearing at and taunting Mr Chauvin with"tough guy,""bum" and other names, then calling Mr Chauvin expletives, which the defence lawyer repeated in court. Mr Williams said he was stepping on and off the curb, and at one point, Officer Tou Thao, who was controlling the crowd, put his hand on Mr Williams' chest.

How a $20 bill and a 911 call changed America — the ripple effect of George Floyd's deathIt was one of the most prominent killings in a years-long string of African-American deaths at the hands of police in the US, and set off global protests over the treatment of people of colour. America hasn’t changed and won’t changed. There will be plenty of talk about changing, but no actual change. It is a nation set on a course of self-destruction. the US is 'messed up' !?😧 It was a $20 bill lol
