George Floyd asked the cops "please don't kill him," according to a new video that shows the police.

  • Images have been leaked from the camera that was in the body of one of the police officers involved in the murder of George Floyd. The programme will investigate at the earliest moments of George Floyd's arrest, as well as at the last moments of his life. Floyd was willing to work with the cops and ask the cops not to shoot him.

Daily Mail this Monday published several images of the cameras of the two police officers who participated in the arrest of George Floyd. One of them, Derek Chauvin, killed Floyd with a knee to his neck for almost eight minutes. Floyd told the cops he couldn't breathe about 30 times.

This filtered new video shows George Floyd's nonviolent attitude and willingness to collaborate with the police. On several occasions, even minutes before his death, he asked the two policemen not to shoot. In the video, Floyd sits in his car and says: -Please don't shoot. I just lost my mother.

The CBS media has uploaded the video to the network with subtitles:

 

The Democrazy Now medium has transcribed the most significant part of the video:

Police Thomas Lane: -Go out and look the other way.

George Floyd: "Well, my official master." Please do not shoot. Please, boss! "

Thomas Lane: "I won't shoot."

George Floyd: - Please!

Thomas Lane: -Go out and look the other way.

George Floyd: "My friend, I'll look you in the eye." Please do not shoot! "

Thomas Lane: "I won't shoot."

George Floyd: -Please, friend. I just lost my mother.

Thomas Lane: -Go out and look the other way.

George Floyd: I'm so sorry.

Another part of the video shows George Floyd handcuffed, saying: "I'm not resisting." The police approached Floyd by unbundling the weapons, as this video shows, even though there has been no threat from any of them.

Derek Chauvin is charged with second and third degree murder at the hands of the French police. The three former officers Lane, Kueng and Tou Thao, who participated in the operation, are charged with second-degree murder and aid delivery. All four officers were expelled from the police.
