Bodycam footage from the two Minneapolis cops who arrested George Floyd was leaked to the Daily Mail this week providing new details in the May 25 murder which sparked weeks of mass multiracial and multiethnic protests against police violence in the US and around the world.
The tapes were provided by an anonymous source and show officers brutally arresting Floyd and then killing him.
Transcripts of the videos were released last month but a judge ordered the footage not to be released to the public, it could only be viewed at a courthouse by appointment.
Now, for the first time, the public can view George Floyd’s last moments of life.
The footage includes 18 minutes from Officer J. Alexander Kueng’s body camera and 10 minutes from Officer Thomas Lane’s. They were the first to be called to the Cup Foods convenience store after Floyd tried to buy cigarettes with a fake $20 bill.
