Officers handcuffed Floyd, who "appeared to be suffering medical distress," according to police. The video did not capture what led up to the arrest or what police described as the man resisting arrest. After several minutes of pleading with the officer, Floyd appeared motionless, his eyes shut, his head against the pavement. New video: A second video taken on the opposite side of the street appears to show three officers kneeling on Floyd. On Friday, the former officer who had his knee on Floyd's neck, Derek Chauvin, was arrested and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter.
