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.

There were 4 officers holding him down, he was facing away from the other officers, per the video I have seen, it was very shortly after the other officer told him of not palpating a heart rhythm, that he released his neck hold. I posted evidence from a training officer. He did as he was trained to do IMO.
“How could the officer controlling the head possibly know that he had voided his bladder?”
The stream o water flowed right in his line of sight. The idle cop looked right at it.
Discredits the supposed officer, right there.
Why? Because what he is assuming is under dispute.
FWIW, I read earlier that Floyd complained of lack of breath while he was standing up, after he was cuffed and while standing against the wall of a store.
It is your interpretation of the policy which is in dispute.
The policy is there.
The officer will claim he was following policy, and will be able to make a good case for it.
It will likely be settled in court.
“That’s not a position to keep someone in very long anyway. If you have someone in a prone position and they are restrained, get them on their side as quickly as possible. That’s generally what you do when the handcuffs are applied,” Masson said.”
At this point, even with handcuffs, He was NOT restrained, as he fought them for over 10 minutes resisting being place into the squad car, it then took 2 additional officers to get him to the ground, where he continued to resist, so I don’t agree with your assessment. But, that is JMO
“He did not have vitals, was not in a position to check,”
LOL! His left hand was not used to restrain him and was only inches away from his neck. Be sensible.
“Nobody yelled that he was dead, yet, the officer removed the neck restraint.”
He was told their was no pulse but kept the restraint. He only removed. it. to move the. limp body onto the stretcher.
“When he was put in the ambulance, even at that point, they were not aware of his condition”
Limp body, blood from nose, no pulse, bladder voiding.
You are a character!
I think he moved over to the other side of the vehicle because they were taking Floyd out of the car on that side, not because of any camera.
” it was very shortly after the other officer told him of not palpating a heart rhythm, that he released his neck hold.”.
Shortly? ROTFLMAO!
A neck restraint is listed as a “non-deadly force option” in the Minneapolis Police Department Policy & Procedure Manual, according to the police.
The Unconscious Neck Restraint shall only be applied in the following circumstances:
On a subject who is exhibiting active aggression, or;
For life saving purposes, or;
On a subject who is exhibiting active resistance in order to gain control of the subject; and if lesser attempts at control have been or would likely be ineffective.
Neck restraints shall not be used against subjects who are passively resisting as defined by policy.
I get it that facts destroy your argument.
I get it that facts destroy your argument.
Here is the video:
The water flow (if it was urine) was there while Floyd was talking, and was out of site of the officer, and he never looked in that direction.
You discredit his whole statement due to a rounding error? We have a what 6-7 minutes of knee to the neck on video and the knee to the neck was applied before the video.
For what its worth, that opinion was posted a day or so after the event. Its not something that was posted today. I should’ve clarified that
Beautiful. I bet most police officers are feeling the same way.
In comparison, there have been only two deaths following restraint in the prison service in the last 15 years. Experts suggest this is because stricter guidelines on the use of prone restraint were introduced during the mid-1990s following a spate of restraint-related deaths in prisons.
Prison service rules now state that ‘a prisoner must never [original emphasis] be kept in the prone position with their hands held behind their back in ratchet handcuffs’.
