'What you see on the video is exactly what happened,' Floyd family attorney asserts. 'Those police officers were the proximate cause of George Floyd's death.' The remarks come as attorneys for the family announce early findings from independent autopsy.

Minneapolis protestors were out in the streets for another night despite a mandatory curfew.An independent autopsy ordered by George Floyd's family found his death was a"homicide caused by asphyxia due to neck and back compression that led to a lack of blood flow to the brain," according to early findings from the examination released Monday.

Dr. Michael Baden and the University of Michigan Medical School's director of autopsy and forensic services, Dr. Allecia Wilson handled the examination. Wilson said toxicology reports and other examinations are still ongoing and acknowledged that since they conducted a second autopsy, as a medical examiner had done one previously, they did not have access to Floyd's tissue samples in their original state.

I’m speechless!!! 😓

An extrajudicial killing. Like the pogroms of Stalin&Hitler.Just everyone get together and kill ppl.Yes I said pogroms not programs & for those of you whom think I'm spelling it wrong NO.Look them up.Pogroms:'to wreak havoc.'This is what this president has created or let ferment.

It’s good that independent autopsy was performed -otherwise we would never known the truth ! The conduct and wrongness of previous autopsy need to be investigated !

JenniferJJacobs Cant trust GovTimWalz Administration

He is saying the minnesota pd didnt train them. That’s terrible. I’m sorry, but every normal/sain person knows not to put your body weight on someone’a neck and back for 9 minutes. There is no training needed for that. If u dont know that, ur not capable of being a cop at all.

Police officers are trained in regards to sleeper hold or a blood choke. They know 8-9 minutes is too long. No more rhetoric. Arrest the other 3 NOW!!

shaunking Now we have proof! 😤

That’s NOT what the PUBLIC was TOLD of course, Law Enforcement DOES NOT have a CLUE what EVERYONE is getting so UPSET 😭! ALL they seem to CARE about is the DAMN LOOTERS!

JenniferJJacobs Why have the other 3 officers NOT be charged? They need to be held accountable.
