Shocking new surveillance video appears to show George Floyd in a violent struggle with Minneapolis police before his death.
Floyd can't be seen in the footage, but one cop can be seen leaning through the back door and visibly struggling with him.
The clip was posted by activist Shaun King, who wrote: 'BREAKING: Just got this new video. It’s all coming together. Police were in the car beating the sh** out of George Floyd. One stands watch, while the others attacked him.'
Later, white officer Derek Chauvin was captured on video by a bystander kneeling on Floyd's neck as he begged for air.
Floyd, 46, fell unconscious and died, and Chauvin, 44, has since been charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter, which are filed in cases of unintentional death.
Chauvin also was accused of ignoring another officer who expressed concerns about Floyd, a black man, as he lay handcuffed on the ground.

TRUTH.
Nobody in their right mind condones the incident but FR was no better than the leftist activism and terror scum throwing out BS,ignoring critical thinking and not letting the system handle it.
The ME said that kneeling on his neck contributed to his death. Other factors were his underlying heart condition and the possibility of illegal substances in his system. Of those three factors only the police were able to prevent one from happening. They didn't.
They realized he had medical, and probably drug issues, and called for an ambulance. They actually could not find a pulse for a little bit, then he became conscious, again. Then they restrained him for the 8 minutes and 43 seconds it took for the ambulance to arrive.
For the last 2 minutes and 43 seconds, he went unconscious, It is probably then that he died.
He told the officers he could not breathe while he was standing up, before they restrained him prone.
Really? They were to cowardly to call you out publicly??? I want to see these Freepmails! Might make for a good thread... Maybe for a good laugh.

Ha! At first I said to myself, “that’s one stupid guy”. But then I did a quick Google search. You almost got me there, Ben.
I know. Honestly why are all the people protesting this man? I just don’t understand the mentality about it. I do not know this guy or the officer but even if I did I do not think I would attend the protest but so many just blindly follow it. It is disturbing to me.
Same thing when President Trump was elected and Hillary was not. All the schools let the kids go protest it is weird to me like a cult.
>>>”Looks like they pulled him out to teach him a lesson.”<<<
>>>You know that for a fact?<<<
The OP said “looks like”, he didn’t say it was a fact.
He was expressing an opinion, just like everyone else on this Thread is doing. This whole mess has everyone on edge, that’s for sure.
Now we can get back to watching the continued Joementia Biden Rallies on TV tonight.
Thank God you didn't let it ruffle your feathers and you've remained here. I've always enjoyed your postings. My oldest son, aged 53 has visited Berlin on numerous occasions over the years. It's one of his favorite haunts, and he speaks the language fluently, but as a mother, it doesn't matter how old your kids get, you still worry about them no matter where they are.
He was cuffed when he was across the street. He was a regular at the Muslim coffee shop where he tried to pass the fake bill. He left but came back and tried to use the counterfeit $20 again. After he left, the clerk called the cops on their regular customer. Weird, huh? And whatever happened to the couple who was with him during this crime and were being detained at the scene?
No. I don’t watch much TV. Why can’t he be thrashing around? Seems like he can only hurt himself, and who cares?
Talcum X said they were beating the crap out of Floyd
It looks like Floyd went into cardiac arrest after resisting arrest for 10 mins.
Then they pulled him out of the car and laid him on the street.
The cop probably thought the 6'7" violent ex con was faking.
Happens all the time.
Hence the knee.
They're going to have a very hard time proving the cop's use of an approved restraint technique to restrain a large, violent subject was responsible for his death when the ME says he died from heart and vascular disease.

They took him out, almost certainly, because they could not secure him in the car.

Unless a Minneapolis police cruiser differs substantially, most back seats in police cruisers are secure areas. You’re not getting out and plexiglass protects the front seat.

You should read up on that and get back to us.
Cutting off or restricting blood flow to the brain and asphyxia are not the same thing.
“I read that the autopsy said he didn’t die from asphyxiation”
Sleeper hold does not kill via asphixiation
“Police used an approved restraint position.”
Absolutely NOT!
“Police used an approved restraint position.”
Absolutely NOT!
