The Daily Mail leaked the George Floyd Body-cam footage of George Floyd’s arrest. What could’ve been a smooth, uneventful, arrest turned into one of struggle. George Floyd didn’t appear to want to go with the officers. He also appeared to have some other things going on in his mind and body that may have influenced how he reacted in the video.<\/p>\n

From The Daily Mail:<\/span><\/p>\n

The two officers then walk Floyd to the squad car and the struggle really begins when Floyd refuses to get in, saying he has claustrophobia.<\/p>\n

He falls to the ground. ‘Stand up. Stop falling down,’ Kueng shouts. ‘Stay on your feet and face the car door.’<\/p>\n

‘Please man. Don’t leave me by myself man, please. I’m just claustrophobic.’<\/p>\n

‘Well you’re still going in the car,’ Lane says.<\/p>\n

‘Y’all, I am going to die in here,’ Floyd protests. ‘I’m going to die, man. I just had COVID, man. I don’t want to go back to that.’<\/p>\n

Lane offers to roll the cruiser’s windows down to help his phobia but Floyd still struggles. ‘I’m scared as f***,’ he says.<\/p>\n

A bystander tells Floyd to calm down because he cannot win in the situation he is in. ‘I don’t want to win,’ Floyd says. ‘I’m claustrophobic and I’ve got anxiety. I don’t want to do nothing to them.’<\/p>\n

While still in the car, Floyd says for the first time the line that has become synonymous with his death. ‘I can’t breathe.’ Shortly afterwards Chauvin and Thao arrive on the scene.<\/p>\n

The officers finally get him in the squad car and close the rear driver’s side door behind him, but for a reason that is not clear from the video, Floyd comes out of the passenger side door still struggling.<\/p>\n

Within seconds he is lying on the sidewalk with Chauvin’s knee pressed on his neck and Lane and Kueng helping to restrain him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The article says that the struggle “really” begins as they try to put him into the cruiser. However, he resisted arrest from the beginning.<\/p>\n
