STARTLED WHEN HE SEES THAT
THERE IS AN OFFICER THERE, THAT
IS ONE OFFICER LANE STARTS
GIVING COMMANDS, SHOW YOUR
HANDS, AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
YOU CANNOT REALLY SEE WHAT HE
IS DOING BUT AT THAT POINT LANE
PULLS OUT HIS GUN, AND THE DOOR
OPENS UP, AND HE DOES HAVE HIS
GUN POINTED AT GEORGE FLOYD FOR
A LITTLE LESS THAN A MINUTE.
ABOUT 40 SECONDS, TO BE EXACT.
AND AT THAT POINT GEORGE FLOYD
IS SEEN SAYING THINGS LIKE I
HAVE BEEN SHOT BEFORE, I'M
SCARED BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN SHOT
BEFORE, SOMETHING ALONG THOSE
LINES.
LINES.
LINES. >>

AND-FORTH WAS BRIEF, AND THEN.
>> THEY GET HIM HANDCUFFED
WITHIN THREE MINUTES AND AT
THAT POINT HIS HANDCUFFS,
OFFICER J ALEXANDER KUENG SITS
HIM DOWN AGAINST THE BUILDING
AND GEORGE FLOYD SEEMS LIKE HE
IS THANKFUL, LIKE THANK YOU,
SIR, THANK YOU.
AND THEN J ALEXANDER KUENG IS
TRYING TO TALK TO HIM.
HE WAS CRYING ALMOST THE ENTIRE
TIME, KIND OF THAT SOBBING
SOUND.
SOUND.
SOUND. AND SO SPEAKING VERY RAPIDLY,
IT IS THE SAME THING THAT YOU
HEAR WHEN YOU WATCH THE
FACEBOOK VIDEO WHEN HE IS ON
THE GROUND.
THE GROUND. >> Reporter: HE SAYS MINUTES
PASS WITH FLOYD TALKING AND THE
OFFICER OR OFFICERS MAKING
COMMANDS.
COMMANDS.
COMMANDS. AND THEN, AT SOME POINT, A
DECISION IS MADE BY ONE OR MORE
OF THE OFFICERS TO PUT GEORGE
FLOYD IN THE SQUAD CAR.
>> HE IS SAYING, YOU KNOW, I'M
CLAUSTROPHOBIC, I DO WANT TO GO
IN THERE.
IN THERE.
IN THERE. HE SAYS I'M CLAUSTROPHOBIC, YOU
KNOW, MANY, MANY, MANY TIMES.
AND THEN THEY START TRYING TO
PUT HIM IN THERE, THEY ARE LIKE
SIT YOUR BUTT DOWN, SIT DOWN,
TAKE A SEAT, STUFF LIKE THAT.
AND THEY COULD NOT GET HIM IN
THERE, A KIND OF LOOKS LIKE HE
IS JUST KIND OF BRACING HIMSELF
AT THE DOOR, NOT WANTING TO GO
IN THERE, ALMOST IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THAT THEY PUT HIM IN THAT
RESTRAINT ON THE GROUND.
>> DO THEY PUT HIM ON THE
GROUND?
GROUND?
GROUND? DOES HE FALL TO THE GROUND?
WHAT HAPPENED?
WHAT HAPPENED? >> THEY SAID SOMETHING LIKE
YOU'RE GOING TO THE GROUND AND
HE PRETTY MUCH JUST DID WHAT
THEY -- IT IS HARD TO TELL, THE
BODY CAMERA IS NOT POINTING
DIRECTLY IN THE RIGHT SPOT, BUT
IT DID NOT SEEM LIKE THEY THREW
HIM TO THE GROUND, IT SEEMED
MORE LIKE HE LISTENS TO THEM
AND WENT DOWN TO THE GROUND.
>> SO NOW WE ARE ON THE GROUND
AND WHAT HAPPENS?
>> ON J ALEXANDER KUENG'S
VIDEO, YOU CAN SEE THE MOMENT
THAT DIRK SHELDON'S KNEE GOES
TO GEORGE FLOYD SNACK AND YOU
SEE THE MINUTE HE LIFTS IT OFF,
IT IS NINE MINUTES 27 SECONDS
THAT HE HAS HIS KNEE TO THE
BACK OF GEORGE FLOYD'S NECK.
>> Reporter: DURING THE TIME
THE OFFICERS HELD FLOYD TO THE
GROUND, WE WERE GOOSE SAID
OFFICER LANE ASKED A QUESTION.
>> SEVERAL MINUTES AND WHILE
GEORGE FLOYD IS STILL TALKING
AND MOVING, YOU HEAR THOMAS
LANE SAY, SHOULD REROLL HIM ON
HIS SIDE?
HIS SIDE?
HIS SIDE? THAT IS WHEN DEREK CHAUVIN SAYS
KEEP HIM LIKE THIS UNTIL THE
AMBULANCE GETS HERE.
ALSO WHEN FLOYD WAS STILL
TALKING, PLEADING, SAYING HE
COULD NOT BREATHE AND CRYING
OUT FOR HIS DECEASED MOTHER,
LOU SAID HE WITNESSED THIS IN
THE BODY CAMERA VIDEO.
>> YOU KNOW, TOWARD THE END OF
THE HOLDING HIM ON THE GROUND
PORTION OF THE VIDEO, WHILE HE
STILL IS TALKING VERY FREQUENTLY
, DEREK CHAUVIN SAYS SOMETHING
ALONG THE LINES OF, YOU ARE
YELLING A LOT, YOU'RE TALKING A

TO TALK.
TO TALK.
TO TALK. >> Reporter: THE BODY CAMERA
