The police bodycam footage comes as the murder trial of ex-officer Derek Chauvin continues for a third day. A panicked Floyd is seen pleading with the officer not to shoot him as he slowly obeys instructions. Even after Floyd became unconscious, officer Derek Chauvin can still be seen leaning on his neck with his knee. During yesterday's proceedings, Hansen described her frustration at being denied the chance to give Floyd medical assistance. In court, Williams was questioned by the defence, who asked if he grew angry at police.
