(CNN) Surveillance video from outside a Minneapolis restaurant appears to contradict police claims that George Floyd resisted arrest before an officer knelt on his neck. All four officers involved in the incident have been fired from the Minneapolis Police Department. Earlier this week, police said in a statement they were responding to an alleged forgery Monday evening and that Floyd "physically resisted officers." But surveillance footage from the nearby Dragon Wok restaurant shows the first point of contact between Floyd and officers. While there are several minutes where Floyd's interactions cannot be seen from the camera's vantage point, the footage does not appear to support the assertion that Floyd resisted arrest.
