George Floyd: Surveillance Video Shows Events Leading Up to His Arrest/He Shows NO Resistance

*We’ve got some surveillance footage of George Floyd prior to him being pinned to the ground by a totally insensitive police officer’s knee, rendering him unresponsive and ultimately dying.

The footage, from a nearby restaurant called Dragon Wok at 38th Street and Chicago Avenue, captured the initial moments of George’s run-in with Minneapolis police on a camera set up outside, reports TMZ.

The video shows police encountering Floyd who is cooperative and is led away in cuffs

Specifically, the video shows 2 vehicles parked curbside, and eventually, 2 officers approach one of the cars and tells everyone to exit. A man and a woman emerge from the passenger side, while Floyd is taken out by another officer on the driver side … seemingly struggling at first.

The cops then proceed to lead him over to the sidewalk where they sit him down. We don’t see any signs of him resisting the rest of the way.

Another police officer eventually arrived, and George was walked across the street and off-camera. He was not being led by the officer who was eventually seen with his knee on George’s neck.

A viral video later surfaced showing a white officer, who was identified as Derek Chauvin, kneeling on Floyd’s neck while Floyd pleaded, “Please, please, I can’t breathe.” After several minutes, Floyd became unresponsive. He was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Chauvin and three other officers involved in Floyd’s death were fired on Tuesday.

It’s important to recall that the police version of the story is that they were responding to a call of possible forgery.  A Dragon Wok employee says George had attempted to pay with a $10 bill they suspected was counterfeit and, due to company policy, reported it to police.

The surveillance video was released by Dragon Wok’s owner Rashad West, who says he wanted to put it out for his community.
