LOS ANGELES - Two years ago, Mr Edward Bronstein was pulled over in Burbank, California, by California Highway Patrol officers who believed he was driving under the influence of a narcotic.

They brought him to the parking lot of a patrol station near Pasadena to take his blood, according to police and autopsy reports. When he asked why they needed a sample, they threw him facedown on a mat and one officer knelt on Mr Bronstein's back as he yelled,"I can't breathe," video footage of the March 31, 2020, encounter shows.

A federal judge approved its release over the objections of lawyers for the California Attorney-General's office who are representing the officers in a federal lawsuit that Mr Bronstein's family has filed against the highway patrol. The Attorney-General's office referred a request for comment to the California Highway Patrol, which declined to comment, citing the lawsuit.

Mr Floyd's death touched off worldwide protests against racism and police violence and led to the murder conviction of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer who pressed his knee into Mr Floyd's neck for more than nine minutes as Mr Floyd cried out for his mother and said,"I can't breathe."

They placed him in handcuffs and brought him to the station parking lot near Pasadena. The video, which was filmed by a police officer using what appeared to be a handheld camera, showed Mr Bronstein kneeling before the officers, his arms behind his back."You're bringing the fight to this, not us," an officer told him."This is your last opportunity," the officer said."Otherwise you're going facedown on the mat and we're going to keep on going.
