The sickening incident occurred nearly a week ago. Here, Minneapolis police officers arrived on the scene in relation to a suspected forgery case. On the scene, one officer pinned the suspect to the ground and crushed his neck by placing his knee atop it.
The officer brushed off frantic pleas from Floyd, who continuously pleaded that he wasn’t able to breathe. He even said he was going to die. However, in a clip, the lack of apathy is evident as he is told to relax.
Eventually, Floyd became unconscious due to a lack of oxygen supply and perished on arrival at a medical facility. Following public outrage, the Minneapolis PD fired all 4 officers involved with the incident. Officer Chauvin was arrested on charges of murder in the 3rd degree.
