Newly public body-camera footage shows a panicked George Floyd pleading with Minneapolis police officers in the minutes before his death, saying “I’m not a bad guy!” as they tried to wrestle him into a squad car.

Floyd’s hands are soon handcuffed behind his back, and he grows more anxious, telling the officers that he’s claustrophobic and pleading with them not to put him in the back of a squad car.

Chauvin and Kueng each grip one of Floyd’s handcuffed hands to hold them in position behind his back, with Kueng’s knee appearing to press on Floyd’s bottom or just below. Lane is at Floyd’s feet. Lane did not sound particularly worried the first time he asked Chauvin whether they should roll Floyd on his side and suggested that Floyd might be in delirium. People in the crowd can be heard expressing fear for Floyd’s condition, asking whether he had a pulse and was breathing.

The ambulance parks a few blocks away from the store for several minutes while Lane and the EMTs work on Floyd, rather than heading straight to the hospital, even though they all know that Floyd is in full cardiac arrest, as indicated by dispatcher audio.

Execute them

What your tweet should have said is he was high and resisted arrest. He did not deserve to die, but he is partly to blame for resisting. If he had gotten into the squad car he, and many other people would be alive today.

I want to see this 'scuffle.' Release the body cam footage.

Unforgivable

'As they tried to wrestle him into a squad car.' Yet the descriptions of the clip say that he scuffled with the police because he claimed that he was claustrophobic. So basically, he resisted arrest. Apparently, you should be able to claim claustrophobia to not get arrested now.

I'd be terrified too. Go listen to this 6 part podcast. The police in the US haven't changed much since they were founded. They are still a gang. Just a legal one.

ok we know what happened and these guys should fry for what they did but do we have to keep bringing it up what is there not other news more then just Mr Floyd died lets cover other not just one but again abc the ap and cnn know how to divide our country they do it all the time

When someone or a group of people because of some irrational fears of theirs consciously and purposely, systematically and systemically, overtly or covertly prevents you from reaching your potential as a human being and thereby strip you of your humanity-- that's racism.

Black Lives Matter because ALL Lives Matter. WE must have Mutual 'RESPECT' for one another in order to move forward. Let it not just be words. Everyone forever change ourselves, too. Find those words you can live your life by-- move forward!

Actions speak louder than words.

emarvelous Yea it shows a man being killed in broad daylight(.)

Please do not show their sick pictures all the time with their stories. It's upsetting.

They murdered him. End of the story. Nothing he couldve ever done would justify kneeling on his neck, suffocating him and letting him die on the pavement while crying for his mother. Nothing.

Read his autopsy report. Quite eye opening

So there was a struggle to put him in the car?So if he hadn’t have fought he would have been sitting in the car and not on the ground? So was he resisting arrest?

'as they tried to wrestle him into a squad car' George Floyd could have gotten in the police car when asked. Instead he resisted. Resisting police instructions a part of almost all police brutality situations. Want solution to less police brutality? Resist arrest less.

Oh well if he said that they should have believed him

You left out the part about Floyd refusing to get in the car and saying he couldn't breath long before being placed on the ground.

This makes me so mad. Where is the humanity? Send them all to jail forever for not caring about life😢😢😢

They all look great in Orange. DIGITAL SOLDIER.

tony_c_garcia I’ll never understand why Chauvin did what he did.

Maybe he should have just gotten in the car?

Bottom line: George Floyd was a career criminal. It is good that he is dead because statistically he would’ve eventually killed another young black person.

BIG FLOYD!!!!!!

Playing on people’s emotions.

I am not a bad guy. Just held a gun to a pregnant woman, high on drugs all the time, and passing fake $$$. What an outstanding citizen !!!!!

No, George Floyd was a saint!

Where’s the footage ?

The martyrdom of a crim. Sad.

Never let a good crisis go to waste

I too was telling cops I wasn't a bad guy the last time they were putting me into a police car. Judge thought differently. Whatever. Dumb judge.

All he had to do was get in the car.

Fuckers

Where they hiding this new footage

So it shows him resisting arrest?

Death penalty for all of them!

He had coronavirus, and wasn't wearing a mask, he deserved to die!!! Liberals coronavirus WearAMask

OMG this story just continues to break my heart! OMG.

He was a bad guy, in case you forgot...he used to break in to pregnant women's homes and hold guns to to their stomachs. criminal scumbag 🤬

Dropping this here for no particular reason

Then he exited the squad car and became a fugitive.

If the body cam footage showed George Kirby was innocent it would have been released months ago.

He robbed a pregnant woman at gun point lol

'I'm not a bad guy' There's a special place in heaven for men that hold guns to pregnant women's bellies.

The three other cops should be acquitted. They didn’t commit murder. I’m sorry, chauvin will do ten years and that’s the end of that.
