New Bodycam footage released from officers accused of killing George Floyd shows us all the moments leading to Floyds death.
The videos was discovered by DailyMail shows rookie cop Thomas Lane pointing his weapon at Floyd’s head terrifying him.
“Hey man, I’m sorry,'” Floyd says in response to Lane.
Floyd was given no explanation as to why he was being questioned.
Floyd’s family lawyer Ben Crump said the footage reinforces that Floyd posed no threat to the four officers.
“The more video evidence you see, the more unjustifiable George Floyd’s torture and death at the hands of the police becomes,” Crump said Monday in a statement. “Although the allegation against George was for a non-violent offense involving a $20 bill, the police officers approached him with guns drawn, simply because he was a Black man.
“As this video shows, he never posed any threat,” he added. “The officers’ contradictions continue to build. If not for the videos, the world might never have known about the wrongs committed against George Floyd.”
