"Being black in America should not be a death sentence," the mayor said."For five minutes we watched as a white police officer pressed his knee into the neck of a black man. For five minutes. When you hear someone calling for help, you are supposed to help."
The officers involved were responding to a report of a forgery in progress, and found a man fitting the suspect's description in a car, according to a police department account. After Mr Floyd exited the vehicle, the department said, a physical altercation between the officers and Mr Floyd ensued. When they handcuffed Mr Floyd, he appeared to be in medical distress, according to police.Mobile phone footage of the incident does not show what led up to the confrontation. It opens with Mr Floyd seen lying beside the rear wheel of a vehicle, with a white officer pinning him to the street by pressing a knee into Mr Floyd's neck.
Mr Floyd can be heard repeatedly moaning and gasping while he pleads,"Please, I can't breathe, please, man," as onlookers gather around, growing increasingly agitated and shouting at police to let him up. After several minutes, Mr Floyd gradually grows quiet and ceases to move. An ambulance took the suspect to the hospital, where he died a short time later, police said. No weapons were involved, and no officers were hurt in the incident, according to police.
