*Ben Crump, one of the attorneys for the George Floyd family has released a new video that shows Minneapolis officer Tou Thao ignoring pleas for help from bystanders as Floyd gasped for air and begged for his life under the knee of Derek Chauvin for nearly nine minutes before his death.
“This is beyond disturbing, even harder to watch than the first video,” Crump wrote in the caption of the video.
He added:
“Tou Thao stood guard as Derek Chauvin MURDERED George Floyd … while witnesses of the execution tried to stand up for JUSTICE, tried to save George’s life! The protest of those bystanders, who refused to just stand by and let it happen, has reverberated around the world — fueling our protest against injustice and police brutality!! 8 minutes 46 seconds.”
Crump’s caption goes on to call for Thao and two other officers who have been arrested, Thomas Lane and J. Alexander Kueng, to be convicted of murder.
“The four ex-officers MUST be convicted of MURDER for this hideous atrocity! They MUST all be held accountable!”
