Police camera video of Minneapolis officers arresting George Floyd was released to the public Monday. The video comes from the body cameras of former officers Thomas Lane and J. Kueng. The footage shows Floyd pleading with the officers as they struggle to place him in a squad car in the minutes before his death on May 25. Lane's video shows Lane pulling his gun when Floyd does not immediately show his hands. Fallout from Floyd's death has led to local police reforms in numerous cities across the U.S., including budget cuts, chokehold bans, disbanding units and shifting responsibility for non-violent emergencies away from the police.
