Videos: Officer Charged as New Footage Shows Several Cops Kneeling on George Floyd

Amid the Friday arrest of Derek Chauvin, the former officer of the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) who was filmed kneeling on the neck of Minnesota resident George Floyd, new footage has emerged showing several officers doing the same on Floyd’s upper and lower body.

Unlike the previous recordings published on social media by individuals who were present at the scene, the new footage shows the events that unfolded from an angle behind the police-marked SUV next to which Floyd was pinned to the ground.

The video, which begins as the filmer is walking towards the scene, appears to show a total of three officers kneeling on Floyd, as he pleads with them to loosen their hold on him. “Please, please, let me stand,” he’s heard saying.
