'I'm Dead': Heartbreaking New Video Shows George Floyd's Final Moments | MSNBC
MSNBC…THIS IS NOT THE WHOLE VIDEO!!! WE DEMAND TO SEE IT ALL!!!
@Salt and who cares about floyd? that guy was nothing a nobody putting a gun to a pregnant woman pfffff that ain’t no man
@Salt wrong again, he was displaying signs of being under the influence of some type of narcotic, it’s in the video, and that has grounds for detainment. Theres plenty of cases where handcuffed people have injured police aswell as themselves and have also broken out of said handcuffs which leads to the training of police to handle people who resist. You just cant imagine this happening,because of your privilege, but this is actually what happens. Stay in your sheltered life cuz you probably never had dealings with police unless you’ve called em
@Salt what you said just confirmed what I said. You’re a sheltered lil cry baby who knows nothing of black problems. Your a fox trying to get into the chicken coop. Malcolm X said it best.
@Montravius Jones So are You actually suggesting that all drug users deserve to be murdered?
Think before You reply, because if You know anyone in pain, on prescription drugs, they are the ones most likely to end up on street drugs. Their first and original dealers are likely their own medical doctors prescribing fentanyl or all things , to help them through their recovery. Unfortunately, Doctors don’t get major payoffs to ween their patients off of the addictive drugs that they prescribe to people… like people like George Floyd who have been shot by cops, and have to recover from such injuries, with pain killers.
How don’t You get it?… the bigger picture, I mean, how the dots connect… Reality in context?
@Salt malcolm X has already spoken about you and you’re fake compassion for the black community. You can’t have compassion because you lack melanin. It’s all fake from your guilt and hatred towards your own skin color
The Daily Mail in the uk have released the full footage. You guys have blood on your hands for not releasing the full footage from the start.
WHERE is the MSM on the MILITANT ARM of the DEM PARTY, ARMED BLM threatening WHITE LIVES!! Where are CNN and MSNBC and WAPO and NPR the PROPAGANDA MEDIA on this?? They spent WEEKS talking about the ARMED WHITE PEOPLE protesting the LOCKDOWN, and how the police and military would slaughter ARMED BLACKS, but these links CLEARLY show that was a LIE!!! COMPLETE SILENCE on these ARMED BLM THUGS! Showing the TRUE RACISM is ANTI-WHITE…PERIOD!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYr835-s-_s and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3eStjeBS4k
@Tony Barden this narrative doesn’t work anymore. No. Not because he was black. Because he was an overdosed thug. Move on.
Okay MSM have blood on their hands , but biggest question is WHAT ARE THE COMMON PEOPLE GONNA DO ABOUT IT??
Cause you common people never done anything good to bring justice to these wrongdoers

The person who leaked this is a true Patriot!
@Sina Bagheri Sarvestani you are obviously an imbecile
@Sina Bagheri Sarvestani lol he was driving and passed out because he has 4 times the Lethal limit of fentanyl in his system and died from cardiac arrest according to the autopsy and coroners reports. He was saying he couldn’t breathe before he even was told to go into the car.
@Sina Bagheri Sarvestani
Last night, I had my children watch all 8 minutes of the newly released Bodycam Footage.
I asked my children to count the number of times the police officer commanded George Floyd to step out of his vehicle —my kids counted 9 times ! And Floyd disobeyed all 9 times …
Finally , the officer forcibly pulled Floyd out of parked vehicle .
I then asked my children to count the number of times the police officer commanded George Floyd to step into the back of the police cruiser —my kids counted 7 times ! And Floyd disobeyed all 7 times …
George Floyd was ostensibly using counterfeit money and this was not the first time — a felony offense —George Floyd was hardly innocent .
I agree with you that the guy didn’t deserve to die
This proves blm is wrong and destroyed the cities /businesses, people for nothing. But changes nothing for the officer
@Sina Bagheri Sarvestani George Floyd was unarmed? But how do we know that? He didnt showed his hands. Then ill pull my gun too. Then he put he hands on the steeringwheel. Danger is gone. Then he is asked to get out of the car. He doesnt lissen. He posed no threat. Thats true. But you still have to lissen to the police officers. Why was it so hard for him to just step from one car into another? If he wasn’t claustrophobic in his own car, i think he would be fine in the car of the police officer as well.
well the unedited version completely contradicts the narrative crafted by these lunatics.
@Tankism OVER EVERYTHING yes it does, they claimed floyd was compliant and never resisted. clip clearly shows otherwise.
Whole video still doesn’t justify punishment in the form of torture (knee to the neck for nine minutes).
EZ 2nd degree murder charge as Derek’s intent was to cause bodily harm…and any fool knows not to do anything that might close the airway of a person struggling to breath. So Derek knew, or at least should’ve known, that his action was putting George’s life at risk. Derek is human trash and should spend the rest of his life in jail…mostly to protect society tbh.
@Lite Hold lmao was no deep racist or personal bond its a criminal doing something criminal on drugs and not co operating. Not saying he should have died but look what people with yoir mindset did to the world now
@Lite Hold He actually tried to use the bill again in the same store that just told him 20 minutes earlier it was counterfeit. Floyd’s had been and was about to drive high on fentanyl and meth. Who knows who he might have killed, good thing the cops stopped him.
@Truth bTold Are you completely ignoring all the evidence in this case? Have you watched the full leaked 18 minute body cam footage video? Have you researched Minnesota police policy? Do you know Floyd’s criminal past? Have you looked into his previous contact with Chauvin? Look up Floyd the landlord on you tube. How much do you really know about this case?
Most historical events are likely bogus due to how the media can create the narrative. I question everything now.
@Max Headroom facts
@DropZone33 CCP china
Jackson Parkinson Well, It still fits.
@All Game Plays Nothing to do with China and everything to do with people who wear small hats, wake up America.
All of our past heros have all been a lie too….history how its been taught to us has been more of the fat lies
Wow that is terribly misleading, I mean after watching the whole thing there is no doubt in my mind you would have to know what you are doing chopping it up like that
@Dave so they “intentionally”…”murdered him”???
@Dave Except it wasn’t. Floyd lied about being claustrophobic when he was escorted into the car (he was in a car and the cops offered to open the window for him). He was put on the floor only because he refused to get into the car at first. He said he couldn’t breath. So the cops put him on the ground and he started wriggling and complaining about not being able to breath again. Chauvin made the decision that he was lying and kept him pinned to the floor while others conducted their reports. There was no evidence to suggest Chauvin intentionally killed him or intend to cause bodily harm. This is 3rd degree murder at best.
@Dave
The full video shows he died from a drug induced panic attack.
@Bailey Nix Whole video still doesn’t justify punishment in the form of torture (knee to the neck for nine minutes).
EZ 2nd degree murder charge as Derek’s intent was to cause bodily harm…and any fool knows not to do anything that might close the airway of a person struggling to breath. Derek is human trash and should spend the rest of his life in jail…mostly to protect society tbh.
^LMFAO^
This media bias is the reason I changed my political views.
Here’s the REAL George Floyd for all you STUPID LEFTIES: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iS9gP1nU8w8
More FAKE NEWS, racism in America barely exists! Stop the RACE baiting!
Please vote Trump. Everything depends on him.
Same
You’re extremely dim if that’s the reason you changed. I’m a Progressive who hates the Dem party and the media. You don’t have to become a conservative because the media is garbage.
@Andromeda no I changed because the ideology has said if you believe that having drag queens reading to kid is in appropriate you’re a homophobe and transphobe and if you don’t like your cities burning because of “protests” that you’re a racist. I’m even what you people call a poc, routed in the racist colored people terminology. You’ve become a parody of what you were. This stuff is just icing on the cake.
Oi MSM you can’t manipulate us anymore. It’s over.
Unfortunately, even if this video is seen and understood by everyone in the world, the MSM will still be able to manipulate us using carefully-selected “experts” and “scientists” just like they have always done.
@Geoffrey Kidder “BLM will ignore these facts and still say its racial…” I’ve already seen this happen. It’s the damnedest thing … people can watch Floyd say “I can’t breathe” BEFORE being restrained, and then say that the knee caused him to have breathing problems. Most people don’t/can’t use logic at all.
cu later not being racist I want you to see this from my point of view. But in order to do that put your white privilege aside ,
@Jsaibot wow such a big arguement you have. Lmao. You need to grow up and get an idea of your own sheep.
@Jsaibot how is it racial, have you seen the video from daily mail, who all these media outlets are pulling the footage from
‘It’s easier to fool people rather than convince them they have been fooled.” Mark Twain
@jeff Who is most judged because of skin color? What race is it OK to hate, and you can say whatever you want about them and you can get away with it?
@Portugal The man You most likely went to a public school, paid for by taxpayers, when you were young. Don’t lie. You are the product of democratic socialism. You want to burn the bridge you crossed after crossing it.
@Dave nice try painting non left as russian bots. South east asian muslim here voting for trump.
EWKification i never go to public school, i have two sister one of them go to public school after my parents can’t fund her more further.
@Portugal The man Well, at least 90% of Americans went to public school. Also, your English is bad. Soooooo, maybe you should have finished school before becoming a keyboard warrior for social justice on the internet.
I’m just glad the comment section is still active to tell everyone to watch the entire video, not this msnBS.
@bad bad mc bad I don’t think you know what “due process ” means. 🙄
@susanne anique due process technically officially begins at citation and or arrest in suspect of a crime. Which is why the officers of the court and law enforcement read the suspect’s miranda rights. Are you serious?
@bad bad mc bad yup…you don’t know what it means. 🙄
@susanne anique due process is the process in which the courts determine innocence, guilt and punishment of a crime.
@susanne anique hahahaha! You have no idea what it means.
Laughable spin attempt this why its called FAKE NEWS……how stupid do you think people are
@Dave they literally edited this whole video so it can fit there news line they are trying to start propaganda. They never showed the parts where the officers gave them a chance and yes them there were several people there that didn’t resist.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-2220126/Body-cam-shows-officers-trying-force-George-Floyd-cruiser.html
Stupid enough to believe from the beginning. Like 4 cops of 3 races– white, Asian and a mixed race ( brown)…. pick a race…..
@Donald Brooks they choose to be that way.
Unfortunately there’s a lot of stupid people, they burned there city’s down
Not even showing the whole video. The media wants riots and chaos because it’s good for ratings. Trump was 100% right the media are the enemy of the people.
Dave George was saying he couldn’t breath way before they put the knee on his neck he was highly under the influence go look at his autopsy report also he was resisting the whole time. Go look at the whole body cam footage not just the bias news stations have a opinion of yourself don’t be brainwashed by news .
@Daniel Olivares Right…agreed…he was complaining about being able to breath before Derek tortured him with a knee to the neck for nine minutes. And besides resisting being forced into a cramped police vehicle, where else is he resisting?? And yes, I did see the whole video multiple times. He was extremely nervous (maybe having a panic attack) but still compliant…up until the point that he didn’t want to get in the back seat.
So, why couldn’t Derek just let him sit on the curb or lye down on his own? He was already handcuffed so not going anywhere right? Why the knee to the neck? What is the justification for that? Well, that’s what Derek has to come up with now that he is on trial. Maybe there is a good explanation…who knows…I doubt it though. If he cannot come up with a reasonable explanation, besides punishment, then it is 2nd degree murder plain and simple.
@Dave You make good points. But what you should be asking is why was this hidden from literally EVERYONE!
Edit: One more thing is that it wasn’t racism. That was the whole point of ALL of this. The RIOTS, everything.
@Dave nice copy and paste Dave, you fuckingloser
@Josef Thank you
SHOW THE WHOLE VIDEO without clipping and editing it to fit your narrative.
Oh I forgot that’s what mainstream media does.
Full video doesn’t justify murder:
“Second degree murder is generally defined as intentional murder that lacks premeditation, is intended to only cause bodily harm, and demonstrates an extreme indifference to human life.”
@Dave he literally died of heart attack in an ambulance because he was drugged-up on leathal dose of opioids and also covid positive. So yeah…
Context is the enemy of the revolution comrade.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPSwqp5fdIw
I wonder how much stress and discomfort the pregnant woman whose house he broke into held at gunpoint, pistol whipped, and robbed felt?
Well we can’t riot over her so she doesn’t matter
https://youtu.be/HCvf9iuz1is
Trash and garbage reporting… what else do you expect though
I’m sure George Floyd was crying like a b***h when he held that weapon at that pregnant woman’s belly.
Keith Martin Same ol media BS , remember hands up don’t shoot lol
The media lied and created global unrest knowing full well what they were doing. The game is up MSM
“Second degree murder is generally defined as intentional murder that lacks premeditation, is intended to only cause bodily harm, and demonstrates an extreme indifference to human life.”
All these innocent people died due to a lie. Shame on you BLM. Shame on you media.
The same community who defended this drug-addicted thug also defended Rodney King and OJ Simpson and Michael Brown and Rayshard Brooks. Our people need to wake up.
There whole movement started on a lie.
Shame on people who let themselves to be lied. Do your own home work and question everything you see on msm.
LIARS! This new footage completely flips your narrative
This is the single greatest example of an orchestrated MSM conspiracy in history.
Dave autopsy concludes Floyd was high on fentanyl and most likely did not die of asphyxiation…
Actually im happy.. This will ensure trumps reelection
titan slayer I want to re-elected to my brother. I will pray for that too. But no, I’m not happy. David Dorn, Secoriea Turner, and many, many others have been taken from us because of the abhorrent games the leftists and the MSM are playing. I wish it didn’t come at that cost but we must make sure their names are remembered in November… 🙏🙌
@Dave prove intent, go.
There’s a longer video of Floyd saying he can’t breadth before he was on the floor
“These new videos provide new evidence about how quickly police were escalating the interaction.” What video are they watching? MSNBC should be ashamed of themselves.
And just like that, the left wing media’s narrative goes up in smoke.
Like a fart in the wind.
It won’t, they will keep going
kyle Wicks
There’s nothing wrong with too many “blacks” stop bringing in race.
@kyle Wicks Extremely high-crime demographic. I have way too much personal experience to disagree.
kyle Wicks That’s just racist
