FBI has joined the investigation into the death of a Black man named George Floyd who died on Monday, May 25, after a Minneapolis police officer forced his knee into his neck to keep him pinned to the ground.
In a video going viral, a police officer is seen holding George down after he “physically resisted officers”.
“I can’t breathe,” he kept repeating but the cops didn’t listen.
The cop who was kneeling on his neck did not ease pressure even as the man complained.
“Get up and get in the car,” another officer is heard telling George Floyd but it’s clear that the man can’t get up unless the officer stops holding him down.
“I can’t,” George told the cops.
At some point, George starts screaming for his “grandma.”
He is also heard saying: “My stomach hurts, my neck hurts, everything hurts.”
Bystanders approached the scene and told the officer to get off of the man. One person pointed out that the man’s nose had started to bleed but they didn’t listen. The man then stopped moving and appeared to be unresponsive as the ambulance arrived at the scene and placed him on the gurney to take him away.
