Floyd later died after Officer David Chauvin kneeled on Floyd's neck for over 8 minutes. Chauvin and three other officers, who were revealed to be Thomas Lane, Tou Thao and J. Alexander Kueng, were also fired. The new footage comes one day after surveillance footage showed Floyd complying with officers and not resisting arrest as the department previously claimed.

New surveillance footage shows the moments before a Minneapolis police officer kneeled on George Floyd's neck as he repeatedly told them he couldn't breathe before he died. While police previously claimed that Floyd was resisting arrest, which is why force was needed in the incident, the video shows him complying with police as he exited his vehicle and an officer guided him to the side of a building in handcuffs.
Since the incident, all 4 officers involved in the incident have been arrested, while the FBI investigates the details surrounding Floyd's death.
