TMZ: NEW SURVEILLANCE VID SHOWS MOMENTS BEFORE KILLING ... No Signs of Him Resisting

TMZ
5/27/2020 9:36 AM PT

Before George Floyd was pinned to the ground by a cop's knee -- and ultimately killed -- he was cuffed by a different officer and seemed to be cooperating ... according to new surveillance footage.

A nearby restaurant, Dragon Wok, captured the initial moments of George's run-in with Minneapolis police on a camera set up outside. Based on the video, this started as a traffic stop of some sort, which ended with George being led away in cuffs.

The video shows 2 vehicles parked curbside, and eventually, 2 officers approach one of the cars and ask everyone to step out. A man and a woman emerge from the passenger side, while George is taken out by another officer on the driver's side ... seemingly struggling at first.

The cops get George to stand up and lead him over to the sidewalk where they sit him down. He isn't doing a whole lot of resisting the rest of the way.

Body cameras showed a struggle, they would have released them on day one. There you go.

It unbelievable that it’s 2020, that it keeps happening, and everyone has cameras these days. Thank god they do otherwise these cops would get off.

Still too many do. Time will tell if these are charged with murder which it is.

Or rather, they are really well trained for a job other than their own, or for conduct that is not what they should be doing.

Cops in the US are trained properly, to kill blacks and to allow whites to do whatever they want.

only worth 20 dollars and the twenty was a bogus one which is the most counterfeited bill in circulation.

Just a Cop for Trump.
