*The Minneapolis teen who captured the murder of George Floyd on her cell phone is speaking out about being unfairly harassed online.
, 17, was on the scene of the tragedy that occurred on Memorial Day, after officers attempted to arrest Floyd on suspicion of forgery. Frazier’s footage, which she posted on her Facebook page, shows the victim handcuffed and on the ground with Officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on the back of his neck, and pleading: “Please, I can’t breathe.”
The officer ignores Floyd, even after he appears to lose consciousness, keeping his knee on the victim’s neck for nearly five minutes.
Frazier says she’s been catching heat for not helping Floyd — because apparently, folks really expect a teen girl to fight a cop. SMH.
“I’m doing it for clout ?? For attention?? What ?? To get paid ?? Now y’all just sound dumb and ignorant,” she said in a post to her haters, via MadameNoire. “I don’t expect anyone who wasn’t placed in my position to understand why and how I feel the way that I do!! MIND YOU I am a minor ! 17 years old, of course I’m not about to fight off a cop I’m SCARED wtf. I don’t give 2 f—s about what y’all would’ve did because was y’all there?? NO.,” she wrote.

“Fighting would’ve got someone else killed or in the same position George (may he Rest In Peace was in!” Frazier continued. “If it wasn’t for me 4 cops would’ve still had their jobs, causing other problems. My video went world wide for everyone to see and know!! His family was reached out to! The police most definitely would’ve swept it under the rug with a cover up story. Instead of bashing me, THANK ME! Because that could’ve been one of your loved ones and you would want to see the truth as well. Anyone with something negative to say pls block me. I’m not forcing you to watch me.”
In an interview with TMZ, Darnella’s mother said the incident has traumatized her daughter, as she is now on the receiving end of cruel criticism.
“I watched this man die. I was the one that was recording the whole thing,” she said through tears, said Frazier in an interview with NowThis News on the scene of Floyd’s death (see clip above).
“I’ve seen him die. Oh my god! “I posted the video last night and it went viral. And everybody’s asking me, ‘How do I feel?’ I don’t know how to feel, cause it’s so sad bro.”
Frazier was visiting the store with her cousin when she saw Floyd on the ground and surrounded by officers.
“I pulled my camera out. This man could not f—–g breathe at all! He’s like, ‘Please I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe,’ and they did not care. They killed this man and I was right there, I was like five feet away.
“It is so traumatizing,” she added.
