The bodycam footage showing the full arrest of George Floyd has been published after being shown in a US court. The footage shows rookie cop Thomas Lane approaching Floyd in a car outside Cup Foods in Minneapolis in the US by tapping on the window with a gun. The following minutes include Floyd being handcuffed before being led to another police car where he appears to be beaten in the back seat by officers while pleading for his life. The bodycam footage, published by the Daily Mail, shows the minutes before Floyd was filmed by a bystander laying on the street as former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes. The incident would kill Floyd and spark violent ongoing protests in more than a hundred US cities.

Is this paper Australia's version if the Washington Compost?
WTF?
Somebody needs to get the “journalist” fired.
This is some yellow journalism right here.
And by that I mean, check their accounts for recent deposits of renminbi.
COVID.....BLM.....COVID.....BLM.....COVID.....BLM.....COVID.....BLM.........
Must have been a completely different video.
Uh, not the video i just saw.
And there in his basement sits Joe Biden seriously contemplating why they call a dry stick of gum Juicy Fruit.
“...Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes. The incident would kill Floyd”
The leftist media are such filthy liars.
Phoebe Loomes definitely needs to make an ASAP appointment with an eye doctor in the Land Down Under.
It has yet to be determined whether the arrest was “fatal”.
There was an original account that said that George was pummeled while in the back seat of the police car. It was not plain if that was the result of resisting or officers going overboard on their own.
I saw that footage yesterday (?) on another FR thread and it was really impossible to see what was going on after they put or tried to put him in the patrol car. I never saw them GET him into the car OR out of it. It was certainly the first I’d heard that he was driving a car when stopped. We only saw him on a sidewalk against a building and then on the ground.
I couldn’t help but compare him to the guy who was shot by the Atlanta police weeks later. That guy carried on a conversation with the cop like they were best buddies - he was respectful of the cop and the cop was respectful to him..In fact, the cop really did have a hard time keeping a straight face as the guy was so looped, he was pretty funny! He didn’t have a clue what city or county he was in. I think he would have had trouble naming the state even!

I’ve been posting this which are autopsies of Floyd that have been posted here in FR and none state such results.
The thing that triggered these riots was the MSM reporting of the Floyd demise and spiking the facts behind his condition at the time. Because of that getting those facts out are desperately needed

The democrat controlled media racist killing reporting was a deliberate miss portraying of the six foot seven inch 200 plus pound Floyd as an innocent black who was being forceably restrained because he was black not because he was resisting arrest.When He was legitimately arrested for passing a counterfeit $20 dollar bill he was resisting arrest and was a threat if not secured. But the media was not mentioning his size or reporting that Floyd was removed from a squad car because he was acting up under the influence of drugs and also later was discovered to have COVID 19. Which suggests his physical condition may have led to his death which the media turned into a murder change and a charge of serious abuse by police because of police efforts that were tried to get him who under control.

If Obama had urged blacks to believe in the justice system and comply with the police would we be confronting his use of creating racial division now ?
The results of politically induced miss reporting incidents where blacks have resisted legitimate arrest began to be used earlier during and after the post Zimmmerman trial, then on to the Ferguson episode. Obama’s abuse of the “Bully Pulpit” which seemed to promote resistance to legitimate arrest led to black gangs attacking non blacks found innocently traversing black neighborhoods and to a score of murders or life changing injuries and later attacks of theft and vandalism on local businesses as well as attacks and murders of police officers during that period
“The scumbag was screaming he was claustrophobic and couldn’t breathe when cops tried to put him in the car.”
Odd since he was sitting in a closed car when the police first arrived.
“Brutally beaten”? No he wasn’t. I watched the video.
Why the outright lie?
Interesting that he resisted getting into the backseat of the car because he was claustrophobic. Five minutes beforehand, when the police first made contact with him, he was sitting......wait for it.......in the driver’s seat of a car. That’s arguably the most claustrophobic spot in the car.
You say he was beaten so brutally that all his hair fell out so that he did not even resemble the guy under the knee? Wow!
Saint Floyd died of a drug overdose. It is not wise for a 43 year old guy in poor health who also has the KungFlu to take massive amounts of fentanyl in addition to meth and weed.
