EXCLUSIVE: Police bodycam footage shows moment-by-moment arrest of George Floyd for the first time - from terror on his face when officer points gun at his head, sobbing before he's shoved into squad car and begging to breathe as his life drains away
WARNING: DISTURBING CONTENT
The terror on George Floyd's face as a rookie cop points a gun at his head while he sits in his car can be seen today for the first time
DailyMail.com has exclusively obtained video from the bodycams of officers Thomas Lane and Alex Kueng, who were part of Floyd's fatal arrest on Memorial Day in Minneapolis
Floyd died after Officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on his neck for nearly nine minutes on May 25
The tapes show in minute detail how Floyd begs 'Mr. Officer, please don't shoot me. Please man,' before the struggle that ended with his death
It also shows how Floyd resisted as the cops tried to force him into the back of the squad car, telling them he suffers from claustrophobia and anxiety
The video begins with Lane knocking on Floyd's car window with a flashlight and once Floyd opens the door, Lane pulls out his gun and points it at Floyd's head
Floyd, 46, begs him not to shoot, saying: ''I'll look at you eye-to-eye. Please don't shoot me man. I just lost my mom, man'
He sobs as the officers pull him out of the car and handcuff him, as his ex suggests he was undergoing mental problems and was afraid of police
After the struggle to get Floyd in the cop car, he is suddenly on the sidewalk with Chauvin's knee on his neck
Floyd says he can't breathe over and over again and calls for his 'momma' but his voice slowly gets weaker as his life drains away, even saying 'I'll probably just die this way'

Bodycam footage from two cops accused in the murder of George Floyd is revealed exclusively by DailyMail.com today — and it shows a rookie officer terrifying Floyd by pointing a handgun at his head and another callously picking a pebble from the squad car tire just inches from the dying man and seconds before he draws his last breath.
The tapes show in minute detail how a very distressed Floyd begs 'Mr. Officer, please don't shoot me. Please man,' before the struggle that ended with his death on May 25.
It also shows how belligerent cops cursed at and manhandled the sobbing suspect, ignoring his pleas for compassion.

Someone on Twitter noted that Mr. Floyd exhibited no such conditions during his previous 16 (or so) arrests. :shrug:

It's strange how George Floyd has been the biggest story in the country for two months but then the body cam footage is finally released and it doesn't trend on Twitter or get treated as headline news by most of the mass media

Have a family member who had huge meth issues, became an intravenous addiction. Same look, erratic actions, speech patterns, nonsensical swings from deep sorrow to rage... completely unpredictable. George must've been on meth for a long time, years.

Also this reaction:
Video could surface showing Floyd whipping out a British Bulldog revolver and pointing it at the cops prior to passing away and the media would ignore it. He's just too valuable a resource for them to begin feeling pangs of veracity now. Great scott look at the mileage they've gotten out of his death.

Such a lying article. FLOYD was high on METH, FENTANYL AND ALCOHOL. DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE. Anyone want to be out there, driving with this guy, out of his mind? This would be his 7th felony! He spent 5 years in prison for armed robbery and assault. Pistol whipped a pregnant woman and put the gun to her stomach. BABY. Then he was a PORN ACTOR. Dealing in human sex slave trafficking. Child and adult. I would not call him a stellar citizen. He died from his drugs, he ingested. He had a heart attack. He was a huge man. 6' 7"...? He did fight with police and did not want to get into the back of the car. HE WAS OUT OF HIS MIND. Sick of sicko's being made out to be saints and victims.

St. Trayvon and Michael Brown also join the fabled victims of someone who wasn't black.
Storied as saintly innocents and paragons of the community, much muddier backgrounds are the reality, and the incidents are portrayed as oppression, when in fact, self defense is often involved. Unfortunately, in this day and age, facts seldom catch up with the narrative, and then only when looked at by people who want to know. The fable is excuse enough for those bent on violence, who believe what they want to justify their own frequently felonious behaviour.

METH, FENTANYL AND ALCOHOL, which renders the taker gasping for breath. He killed himself.

"Disturbing content." Didn't disturb me, but FLOYDS face and actions, scared me. Huge man! Talk about MEDIA and their fiction writing. He was a PORN ACTOR....using human sex slaves, underage & adult. Wonder what faces they made, BEING RAPED, SODOMIZED BY THIS BRUTE. A six time felon, going on his 7th!
Ok, I am done.

Minnesota withheld the full #GeorgeFloyd body cam footage for one reason and one reason only: they knew it would immediately dispel the race narrative and they wanted to assist the Democrats in dividing Americans in an election year.

I have no idea what that means! B for blac? Before anyone wants to pull the race card, it is not about skin. I love my '4 J's' who are all black, just in their right minds. It is always about BEHAVIORS. See, I believe in treating everyone equally. That means, I should be able to bash any bad behaviors, no matter the skin. Like CLINTONS. JOHN ACOSTA. B.L.M. I also like Young Pharaoh. A young black, male 'reporter" with terrible language, but he posts some good information. He is still wrong on COSBY. He thinks Cosby was innocent, even that COSBY admitted to drugging & raping women, while married to Camille. See? About behaviors.

He has no made any comment one way or the other so stop putting words into other people's mouths.

I DID NO SUCH THING. I was asking...what that meant. I've seen that ACRONYM before. I was guessing B was for blac? I DON'T KNOW. You need to have better reading comprehension. I put zero words in anyones mouth. I WAS ASKING WHAT DOES THAT MEAN AND GUESSED B WAS FOR BLACK, AS THIS IS GEORGE FLOYD'S THREAD. Something wrong with you. You don't understand the words, that I was ASKING what that acronym meant? How could I post words into someone's mouth, when I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THOSE LETTERS.....MEANT!

So STOP guessing and quit putting words they never said into the mouths of others. IMHO you did a hell of a lot more than ask what BKMK meant.
No harm done so far but keep it up and I WILL get the mods involved.

Did the autopsy show signs of a heart attack? Someone mentioned that right at the 8:21mark on the video.
Drug load, plus years of abuse, plus stress...

@Smokin Joe
Plus people with bodies as big as his have problems handling normal days. Add stress and anger to the mixture and it can be deadly.

@LegalAmerican Yeah you were putting words in my mouth and trying make yourself seem woke at the same time. A simple "What does that mean would have sufficed?" But NO you had to go on an ignorant rant. Or how about "Google is your friend" it is the Second and third entries. You owe me an apology.

Okay, let's get back on topic, please.

No she doesn't @verga @LegalAmerican 's post and tangent were based on an assumption of what the "B" stood for. Why not just explain what it means and move on?

Yes. The first autopsy indicated he died from heart failure while high on multiple drugs including fentanyl and methamphetamine. And that he had serious heart issues prior to that day.
The hired gun autopsy claimed it was due to pressure on the neck. It is pretty obvious which is the truth.

Who are you talking about? NEVER , did I post 'google is your friend'. I asked, if B stood for black on George Floyd thread. The horror. Like , MOD ONE, SAID...get back on topic.

IMO...
In a just, common sense world, this film proves that this thing should be reduced to an excessive force charge on Chauvin, and no reprecussions to the other 3.

Would help if the person in question wouldn't go off into a ballistic rant. Sometimes she just asks for trouble.

Unfortunately what's happened is that Minnesota AG and certified spousal abuser Keith X has stepped in and over charged all the officers involved. They won't get convicted of anything close to what they are charged with ensuring more riots and violence.
Same thing is gonna happen in the Brianna Taylor case in Louisville.
Just like the left planned.

@catfish1957
True,but it's been so long since common sense was applied to anything political that I honestly can't remember if it ever even happened once.
EVERYBODY is working this and everything else for the maximum personal advantage for them. Compared to politicking,pimping is an honorable profession. At least everybody knows up front they are going to get screwed.

@catfish1957
Yeah,but we need to remember she didn't grow up as an American,so some of the terms we use regularly can be confusing to her.
And sitting that aside for a moment,surely there are more important things here to argue about?
I know I never have any trouble getting into arguments here,and I am a VERY charming fellow!

-

I knew it was a high amount but I don't know what lethal levels are. He might have died in the back of the cop car if he hadn't demanded/fought to be removed from it. He was a suicide in process.

I'm pretty darned sure you recall correctly.
