Video shows a white Minneapolis police officer grinding his knee into an unidentified black man’s neck as he pleads, “I can’t breathe.” The man later died at the hospital

Photo: Mark Thomas/Getty Images/500px A black man died at a Minnesota hospital on Monday, shortly after bystander video was shared online of the man being assaulted by a white police officer outside a grocery store. The horrifying footage shows the man, who has been identified as George Floyd, saying “I can’t breathe” to the officer, who has his knee on the man’s neck and leaves it there for several minutes. The injured, unarmed man then stops moving entirely.

Darnella Frazier, the bystander who filmed the altercation, which was left out of the police report, said that when she got to the scene Floyd was already on the ground. “The cops, they was pinning him down by his neck and he was crying,” she said in a Facebook video. She said she remembered his face was pressed so hard against the ground that his nose was bleeding. A crowd quickly formed around the scene.
