George Floyd (II): Say His Name

[Day]

I don't believe anyone ever claimed they weren't calm...

i never claimed anyone said either way, it was a comment not an argument

From the video description we can surmise whose attorney leaked the footage.

The terror on George Floyd's face as a rookie cop points a gun at his head while he sits in his car can be seen today for the first time. DailyMail.com has exclusively obtained video from the bodycams of officers Thomas Lane and Alex Kueng, who were part of Floyd's fatal arrest on Memorial Day in Minneapolis. Floyd died after Officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on his neck for nine minutes on May 25. The tapes show in minute detail how Floyd begs 'Mr. Officer, please don't shoot me. Please man,' before the struggle that ended with his death. It also shows how Floyd resisted as the cops tried to force him into the back of the car, telling them he suffers from claustrophobia and anxiety. The video begins with Lane knocking on Floyd's car window with a flashlight and once Floyd opens the door, Lane pulls out his gun and points it at Floyd's head. Floyd, 46, begs him not to shoot, saying: ''I'll look at you eye-to-eye. Please don't shoot me man. I just lost my mom, man'. He sobs as the officers pull him out of the car and handcuff him, as his ex suggests he was undergoing mental problems and was afraid of police. After the struggle to get Floyd in the cop car, he is suddenly on the sidewalk with Chauvin's knee on his neck. Floyd says he can't breathe numerous times and calls for his 'momma' but his voice slowly gets weaker as his life drains away, even saying 'I'll probably just die this way'.

Im not sure it was wise

If they wanted to murder him with guns you would've heard a lot of "he's reaching for my weapon!"

Never said they wanted to murder him, but that they've learned key phrases they can say to lessen any potential liability, as well as to enhance any crime someone is arrested for

After reading this Twitter thread, I'm disgusted at some of the replies. The lack of compassion is horrible. These videos show the moments before his murder, and doesn't change the fact that the police killed him.

That video hurts my heart. From the beginning he was saying he didn’t want to die. While, yes, the cops stayed calm, they failed at just calling an ambulance for medical attention. His worst possible crime of the day was getting $20 worth of stuff so fuck anyone saying this exonerates the police murdering him. Just shows how fucking poorly trained they are.

I believe it was a boaking accident.

Let's play a game.

Dude tried to buy cigars, got told "No mask no cigars", walked out without paying for said cigars, SHOT AT THE CLERK TRYING TO STOP HIM, and then when the police showed up to his house, drove off, and when stopped again, SHOT AN AK47 AT POLICE. Got shot by police. He is alive.

You have one, and only one guess as to why he is alive. Vote now on your phones.

Spoiler: show

Lord knows I don't support police brutality but if ever there was a man you should brutalize, it's literally this fuckhole.
