In Minnesota, newly released video sheds light on the events leading up to George Floyd’s killing by Minneapolis police officers on May 25. The body camera footage shows then-officer Tou Thao confronting a crowd of bystanders that grew increasingly vocal and angry as they watched officer Derek Chauvin pressing his knee into Floyd’s neck for over nine minutes. Officer Thao ignored the protests of onlookers and repeatedly forced them back onto the sidewalk.

Tou Thao: “Back off!”

Bystander 1: “He’s not responsive right now!”

Bystander 2: “Does he have a pulse?”

Tou Thao: “Get off the street before you get arrested!”

Bystander 2: “I’m a firefighter for Minneapolis.”

Bystander 1: “He’s not responsive right now!”

Tou Thao: “OK, so you wouldn’t know. Get off the street!”

Bystander 2: “No, I do know.”

Tou Thao: “OK.”

Bystander 1: “He’s not responsive right now! He’s not responsive right now, bro!”

Bystander 2: “Does he have a pulse?”

Bystander 1: “No, bro, look at him! He’s not responsive right now, bro!”

Thao and two other officers face charges of aiding and abetting second-degree murder, carried out by Derek Chauvin.
