On Monday at 8 p.m., Minneapolis police said officers were called to the intersection of Chicago Avenue and East 38th Street on a report of someone trying to use a forged document at Cup Foods.

Police initially said Floyd was resisting arrest and had a medical incident. However, video obtained by CBS News shows Floyd cooperating with officers, at least in the initial moments of the encounter.

The other officers involved were identified as Tou Thao, Thomas Lane and J Alexander Kueng, both with the department for fewer than three years. All four officers were fired a day after Floyd’s death. As of yet, none of those three have been reported as having been taken into custody.


1) I'd still like to know more about this "forged document" - it's a curious detail that's yet to be explained.

2) The perp's fellow officers were placed there after POTUS took office? Interesting ...

The Minneapolis Police Department announced changes to its Body Worn Camera Policy today, requiring officers to activate their cameras and begin recording upon dispatch to a call, or during any self-initiated activity. Contractually, the changes go into effect on Saturday, July 29th.

So ... why was “Chauvin” not wearing a body cam? Shows foresight in planning?

Aren’t all police officers in Minneapolis required to wear body cams? If so, why hasn’t that footage been released?
