In the video, Floyd repeatedly cries out and says, “I cannot breath,” while the officer continues to push down on the man’s neck with his knee.
Floyd appears to become unresponsive after he has been pinned to the ground for several minutes. Bystanders plead with police to check Floyd for a pulse.
“He’s not even resisting arrest right now, bro,” one person is heard telling police.
Eventually, police and first responders are shown moving the still-unresponsive, handcuffed man onto a stretcher.
Minnesota’s governor, Tim Walz, wrote on Twitter that “the lack of humanity in this disturbing video is sickening.” MPD spokesperson Garrett Parten declined to comment to NPR on the authenticity of the video.
