George Floyd died after being restrained by Minneapolis police officers on May 25. Body-cam footage of Floyd’s arrest captured a panicked and fearful Floyd pleading with the officers in the minutes before his death.Body-camera footage made public Wednesday from two Minneapolis police officers involved in George Floyd’s arrest captured a panicked and fearful Mr.
The recordings from Officers Thomas Lane and J. Kueng are part of the criminal case against them and two other officers in Mr. Floyd’s May 25 death. Derek Chauvin, who held his knee against Mr. Floyd’s neck for nearly eight minutes, is charged with second-degree murder. Mr. Lane, Mr. Kueng and another officer, Tou Thao, are charged with aiding and abetting.
Mr. Floyd appears distraught from the moment officers ask him to step out of his vehicle near a south Minneapolis corner grocery, where he was suspected of passing a counterfeit US$20 bill. When Mr. Floyd did not immediately display his hands, Mr. Lane pulled his gun, leading Mr. Floyd to say he had been shot before.
The officers sound clinical as the minutes tick by. “I think he’s passing out,” one officer says. “You guys all right, though?” someone asks. “Yeah – good so far,” says one. Another – apparently Mr. Lane – says: “My knee might be a little scratched, but I’ll survive.” Mr. Kueng reaches out with a free hand to pull a pebble from the police SUV’s tire tread and toss it to the street.
Mr. Lane’s camera shows him following an unresponsive Mr. Floyd on a stretcher into an ambulance, where EMTs instructed him to perform CPR. The video shows Mr. Lane performing constant chest compressions by hand with no visible results.

But apparently... he was
“I am just a porn star. I was just trying to cash a counterfeit bill.”
Not surprising that a low life like him would also talk a lot of shite.
Just that gun in the pregnant woman's abdomen offering at home planned parenthood consultation.
