Leaked Video Gives New Details of George Floyd's Arrest.
The 'Daily Mail' has obtained partial
police bodycam footage involving the
arrest and subsequent death of Floyd.
In the footage, Floyd is seen in the back
of a squad car, saying, "I can't breathe.".
Shortly after, Officer Thomas Lane
asks Officer Derek Chauvin if Floyd
should be rolled onto his side.
Ben Crump, an attorney
for Floyd's family, issued a statement
regarding the leaked video.
"The police officers approached him with guns drawn, simply because he was a Black man. As this video shows, he never posed any threat", Ben Crump, via statement.
"The officers' contradictions continue to build. If not for the videos, the world might never have known about the wrongs committed against George Floyd", Ben Crump, via statement.
A spokesman for Judge Peter Cahill,
who is presiding over the cases of the four
officers involved, said that the judge had
not yet ruled whether to publicly release the footage.
It is not known how London-based 'Daily Mail'
received the footage. The prosecution team
has denied being the source of the leak
