MN - George Floyd, unarmed man killed in police custody, Minneapolis, 25 May 2020

He'll probably get away with it. They mostly do.

I don't think he will. Not in that county, imo.

"Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington doesn't commit to releasing body camera video from the George Floyd case before the investigation is over. He says he'll have to consult with Henn Co Attorney Mike Freeman. Investigation will take 'weeks rather than months,' he says."

How did things go from this earlier in the encounter to Chauvin killing him?

Also, who is the other man taken from the car in handcuffs (seen in the first link video)? What happened to him? Why was he put in handcuffs?

Terrible riot happening right now. rubber bullets and more. I can hear the helicopters circling the precinct... I am so afraid for tonight

I don't think any other officer involved killing of a suspect has hit me so hard. The video is but wrenching. God please let charges be filed.

So very sad to see the looting going on there tonight. I get the frustration. Totally. The looting and violence isn't going to help anyone. SMDH.

Oh no......

I'm old enough that "national guard" in this context takes me back to Kent State. *hums CSNY's "Four Dead in Ohio*

So worried for Minneapolis. It's always had a special place in my heart. My ancestors were farmers in northwestern Minnesota, my mom went to school in Minneapolis, and I have relatives near St. Paul. I'm praying for all of Minnesota tonight.

My apologies if this has already been answered, but did those cops have body cams?

Apparently they did have body cams. But from my observation they would not see much. The Asian cop's cam was facing the crowd and the the cop who did the dirty deed had his facing the side of the car. The other cops were no where near the incident. They need to look at the bystanders' phones to get the whole story. Especially the look of glee on the cop's face.

I am glad the guard is coming in to restore order. The police and DA's office just don't have the respect of the community--too many previous issues to over come when things are so hot. I feel for the workers who won't have jobs tomorrow based on the looting and burning of the area. I get the rage but the further violence isn't going to help.

Actually the other 2 cops were right behind the neck kneeler cop:
