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.

Like he is the only one officers ever have trouble getting in a patrol car.
How about the officers all for a larger paddy wagon.
Where all 4 of them can secure him.

Absolutely. If you read comments from a lot of blacks on twitter and facebook that is exactly what they want. It’s all bs, they need to be held to the same standards as everyone else.

Someone asked me the other day, why didn’t the police use a taser on him.

Yep, 8 mins plus with a knee forcefully pressed upon a suspect’s neck, 2 mins plus of the suspect being literally and physically unresponsive towards the end of that 8 mins plus. Yeah, okie...

Talk about wild speculation.
You really need to step back that unsupportable claim.

Given that the source is Talcum X, it should be taken with a boulder-sized grain of salt.

Some of them could be Chicomm trolls. Those guys are all over the place with their conflicting “masks are slavery” and “stay shut down, we’re all gonna dieeeee!” memes, for example.

I’m guessing the autopsy and the just-revealed struggle were the reason for the 3rd degree murder charge. Given that the cop had his knee on the side of the guy’s neck, using a disbanded technique, for over 10 minutes, it’s possible you could bump it up to Murder 2, but I still don’t know whether all the evidence ultimately justifies that one, either.

He would still be alive if he had not been a smoker. The guy in the store called 9-1-1 because he tried to buy cigarettes with a counterfeit $20 bill.

It's starting to look like Antifa was just waiting for a pretext to trigger nation-wide protests and riots. If George Floyd was still alive, they would have seized on another incident.

It’s about the media template, so it doesn’t matter. Michael Brown attacking Darren Wilson doesn’t matter. Freddie Gray in Baltimore doesn’t matter. I could go on, but you get the idea and it simply doesn’t matter. Get ready to fight because politics & the judicial system are no longer a valid option for conservative white people.

100% true.

We’re here because people on our side are basically afraid to stand up for themselves or what’s right. I mean, POTUS wants to declare ANTIFA a terrorist group and who comes out against it first? A so-called conservative publication NRO .
Yea we’re screwed.

I’m not a police hater. I wish they did not lose their jobs.
I wish the one officer had not been charged with 3rd degree murder.
And I wish they had requested a larger paddy wagon where they
could have secured him.

It actually depends on how much weight is being applied. That is the key point, and I'm unsure if a video can determine that.

I've studied martial arts for over 40 years. We learn many techniques that have a goal of "compliance". When we hit that point, we can then back off ever so slightly but maintain the hold so that if the training partner tries to escape, we can immediately apply just a little pressure and they instantly become very "compliant" again. We can hold them that way for hours if needed, safely under our control.

I have no idea what this cop did or what his intentions were, but you'll never know by watching a video.

I hate bad cops as much as anyone, but right now this guy is an unknown based on my personal MA training.

Maybe the medical examiner can determine if loss of blood flow to the brain was the cause of death. I'll wait for the results before judging.

If you don’t know, then perhaps it’s best to withhold judgment.

Because that would be a game changer.

“4 officers could not secure 1 man in a patrol car?”

Back in the 70’s a good friend of mine owned a dive of a bar.I'd help him on Friday and Saturday nights when it got pretty busy. Back then the main thing that concerned us called “crank” on the street. I think it was some kind of really crappy speed. People on it were a handful.

Nevertheless, anybody we wanted out of that bar, was soon out of that bar. I got cuts and bruises a few times, Clint got bitten by a guy once, but NOBODY we wanted out of there did not wind up eating some pavement.

If four people can't control a handcuffed man, they better let him go because they've arrested Superman by mistake.

I am not advocating one way or the other for this or other techniques just showing you what I read about it.
