The footage was captured by a camera worn by Tou Thao, one of the four former Minneapolis police officers charged with Floyd’s murder. The three other officers at the scene — Kueng, Lane and Thao — have been charged with aiding and abetting. The footage from Thao’s camera adds to the intensity of the scene, as Floyd fought against being placed in the car and claimed he was claustrophobic. He is shown yelling at a woman who identified herself as an off-duty Minneapolis firefighter and urged him to check Floyd’s pulse. A source close to the case says Chauvin’s camera captured audio, but not video of the Floyd encounter.
