Video shows Minneapolis cop with knee on neck of black man who later died

Disturbing video shows a Minneapolis police officer with his knee pinned on the neck of a moaning black man, who later died.

The footage, which was shared by bystander Darnella Frazier, showed the man appearing to be in distress on the ground at the rear of a squad car.

“I cannot breathe! I cannot breathe!” the man yells in the video posted to Facebook. “Don’t kill me!”

In the clip, onlookers repeatedly plead with the officer, who is white, to take his knee off the man’s neck. At one point, the man becomes unresponsive.

“Bro, he’s not even f–king moving!” one says to police. “Get off of his neck!”

Another bystander asks the cop, “Did you kill him?”

The Minneapolis Police Department said it had been responding to a report of a “forgery in progress” Monday night and were advised that the man, believed to be in his 40s, appeared to be under the influence.

Police said they ordered him to get out of his car, which he did but then “physically resisted officers.”

“Officers were able to get the suspect into handcuffs and noted he appeared to be suffering medical distress,” police said.

The man, who was not identified, was brought to Hennepin County Medical Center, where he “died a short time later,” authorities said.

“At no time were weapons of any type used by anyone involved in this incident,” police said.

The FBI and state authorities are investigating his death, while two of the officers were placed on paid administrative leave, CBS reported.

Frazier, who took the video, said on Facebook that “the police killed him, bro, right in front of everybody,” the Washington Post reported.

“He was crying, telling them like, ‘I can’t breathe,’ and everything. They killed this man,” Frazier wrote.

The police officers have already been identified on social media and there is already growing pressure to have them charged and tried for murder.
Their names are Derek Chauvin and Tou Thao.

AniOmaa:

The reason to that isn't farfetched. It's Because you're a psychopathic animal who in all honesty, deserves to be sodomized then shot dead execution style, and your worthless cadaver thrown to a pack of wild dogs to feast on.

I agree with you on this. That yoropig up there is dead in the skull.

Nah... call all the mods if you like, but you are one bastard who needs to be put on a red flag watch. Psychopaths like you deserve the long torturous path to death, I was too lenient with you getting shot... a worthless pig like you deserves to first have all your family members shot dead while you watch, then all your body parts decapitated into bits until you pass out from the excruciating pain and agony. When you wake up, it will be rinse and repeat again till you are reduced to a pile of bloody mess.

You lost sanity there..

Mr police conveniently has his hands in his pocket while kneeling on another mans neck for 10 mins or more? And the partner is busy dancing around...what for? Too many psychos in uniform.

American blacks are stupidly timid. They should start attacking white cops. In Nigeria we attack stupid and wicked police officers.
