Transcripts filed in Minneapolis court show that Floyd was afraid of the police and worried that his inability to breathe with officers on his back would kill him. He died minutes later.

The newly disclosed transcripts of body cameras worn by J. Alexander Kueng and Thomas K. Lane, two of the four former Minneapolis police officers charged in Floyd’s death, were disclosed in court as Lane’s attorney sought to dismiss charges against his client, arguing there is not enough evidence that he committed a crime.

Officers had responded to a 911 call from Cup Foods complaining of a customer who had passed a counterfeit $20 bill. Kueng and Lane were the first officers on the scene, and the transcripts show that a store clerk pointed them to where Floyd and two others sat in a parked car nearby.Transcripts show that Lane approached the car and called on Floyd at least five times to show his hands, drawing his gun when he didn’t.

“No, he got a thing going on, I’m telling you, about the police,” Hill replied. “He have problems all the time when they come, especially when that man put that gun like that.”Ben Crump, an attorney representing the Floyd family, did not respond to a request for comment about the new court filings. The transcripts show Floyd continued to complain that he couldn’t breathe and repeatedly called out for his mother. The officers restrained him on the ground — Lane at his feet, Kueng at his back and Chauvin at his head.“All right, all right. Oh my god. I can’t believe this. I can’t believe this,” Floyd said. “Mama, I love you. … Tell my kids I love them. I’m dead.”As the officers held Floyd to the ground, Chauvin asked the other officers if Floyd was “high.

From another article comment -BLM are an extreme Marxist violent group formed to overthrow all systems of a civil society. Marxists/commies.

He died because he had someone on his neck that didn’t care. He didn’t care when a fellow cop told him that was the case too. There is evil in the world and we need to root it out quickly not continue to allow such a person to carry on.

Floyd's murder made his family rich...how is the family of Amaria Jones doing?

This is no longer news, no one cared about george floyd in the first place lol, they just needed another excuse to push the Marxist LGBT movement on the freeworld, and used a bunch of lemmings like you to get there :)

Murder

I still don't understand why they took him out of a squad car, sat him on the sidewalk to wait for Chauvin to arrive and then walked him across the street to him. Why?

Transcripts? Where is the videos? Two reporters would ask. N

Rise Up!! Defend what the hell was his name?
