New surveillance video shows George Floyd in struggle with cops in back of police car BEFORE being pulled out and 'killed' by officer Derek Chauvin

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.

Hog tying someone huh? Is that approved police training?

If he died of a drug induced heart attack, it was his own fault for fighting the cops. Period.

Actually, as far as I know, the knee to the side of the neck was disbanded as a technique some time ago, since the results could be death.

As I understand it “being restrained” was also listed on the autopsy as cause of death. Perhaps that was referring to the knee to neck restraint. Just guessing.

It is an approved method of restraint by that police department.
There was a thread on here about it from about 2 days ago if I find it I will repost it.

What does it say in the police manual when a suspect says he can’t breathe several times? Continue knee pressure on neck and ignore the
suspects pleas?

Hopefully. Then the Left would have had to look for some other excuse to burn America down before election day.

I would not know what drug, if any he was on.
To my knowledge, no one else does at this point either.

Like how dumb ass Shawn King is proclaiming “The police were beating the shit out of him in the back of the car” and you cant see anything BUT a struggle, and at one point the cop runs to the other side because he’s trying to escape through the other door. If anyone thinks the cops were “Beating the shit out of him” during that video then they have a low IQ. King needs to be thrown off twitter for making such statements with no proof. FACT CHECKERS, HELLO?

A very good reason to get a carry permit, police are not going to be able to help. Better be able to cover oneself.

Except Rodney King lives, and he lived enough to tell everyone they should “get along” - ie, not riot.

The short fat cop would serve no purpose getting involved as there was little room in the back of the car already. Also, the “short fat” cop (your words, mr. police hater) was watching the crowed it appears.

"According to the complaint, Chauvin had his knee on Floyd´s neck for eight minutes, including nearly three minutes after he stopped moving and talking."

Is cutting off blood to the brain, putting strain on his heart to get blood to his brain, and keeping pressure on his neck for two to three minutes after he passed out, and not peforming first aid or CPR after they did not find a pulse, really that hard to understand?

WRONG
It is still used in MN, it is taught to be used, and used other places as well.
This is all out there for anyone actually interested in the facts of this case.

That video shows nothing. You can guess at it, but it shows nothing.
