(Dan Tri) – From a phone call suspected of selling counterfeit money, George Floyd became the target of police arrest and died after a fatal stroke not long after.
Police officer knelt on George Floyd’s neck after handcuffing.
On the evening of May 25, George Floyd was arrested after a store owner called the police because he suspected this black man of using a fake $20 bill.
The first two police officers on the scene were Thomas Lane and J.A.
Officer Lane began talking to Floyd, then pulled out his gun, pointed it at the open car window, and asked Floyd to raise his hands.
When Floyd put his hands on the steering wheel, police officer Lane put away his gun before asking Floyd to get out of the car and pulling the man out.
The Telegraph quoted a report on the incident saying Floyd initially `resisted while being handcuffed`.
Lane and Keung then pulled Floyd to his feet and took him to the police patrol car.
The report said that at 8:14 p.m., Floyd suddenly stiffened, fell to the ground and told police that he had fear of confined spaces.
Officers Derek Chauvin and Tou Thao then brought another patrol car to the scene.
Last year, Floyd and Chauvin, 44, worked together at a nightclub in Minneapolis.
`Chauvin is one of the security staff who has worked part-time for nearly 17 years we have been operating here,` said Maya Santamaria, owner of El Nuevo Rancho nightclub – where Floyd worked.
“They work together at the same time.
However, Ms. Maya did not know whether Chauvin and Floyd knew each other or not.

`I can not breath`
Four police officers tried to put Floyd in the back seat of the patrol car.
While standing outside the car, Floyd began saying he couldn’t breathe.
The police then tried to put Floyd into the car from the passenger side next to the driver.
At 8:19 p.m., two police officers held Floyd’s legs, while Chauvin pressed his left knee on Floyd’s neck.
While Floyd said “I can’t breathe,” “Mom,” and “Please,” the officers remained in position.
A police officer told Floyd: `You’re still talking.`
Officer Lane finally spoke up: “Should we turn you over?”
Chauvin responded: “No, just stay where you are until we get him.”
When Lane began to `be concerned about Floyd’s delirium,` Chauvin said, `That’s why we have to let him lie face down.`
At 8:24 p.m., Floyd stopped moving.
What happened nearly a minute later were images appearing in the video `said to record Floyd stopping breathing or stopping speaking`.
Officer Keung checked the pulse on Floyd’s right wrist and said he could not find a pulse.
At 8:27 p.m., Chauvin removed his knee from Floyd’s neck.
An ambulance arrived at the scene and Floyd was pronounced dead at Hennepin County Medical Center a short time later.

Floyd once moved from Houston to Minneapolis.
Floyd’s life took a downward turn in 2007 after he was accused of armed robbery in Texas.
Floyd moved to Minneapolis around 2014, leaving his 6-year-old daughter with her mother.
Floyd’s last words: `I can’t breathe` have become a slogan in protests across the United States in recent days.
Eric Garner also uttered similar words when he was strangled to death by police in July 2014 in New York City.
Both victims were people of color.
All four police officers are responsible
Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo told CNN that all four police officers involved in George Floyd’s death are jointly responsible.
“Floyd died at our hands, so I consider this an act of complicity.
All four police officers above have been fired.
