According to charging documents, Lane – who initially took Floyd into custody – held down the father-of-five’s legs, while Kueng held his back and Chauvin knelt down on his neck for eight minutes and 46 seconds.
During the arrest, Floyd pleaded for air and eventually stopped moving. He was handcuffed at the time.
In witness video released last week, a man and a woman are heard urging the officers to check Floyd’s pulse before more bystanders are heard pleading with the officers to help Floyd.
‘You think that’s okay? Check his pulse!’ a man is heard yelling as Thao argued with a woman nearby.
‘The ain’t moved yet bro,’ the man continued. ‘He has not moved not one time!’
The man then asked Thao: ‘You’re going to let him kill that man in front of you?’
The woman then yelled: ‘Tell me what his pulse is right now!’ Another woman is heard asking in the background: ‘Did they just f**king kill him?’

Despite their pleas for help, not once did Thao try to get Chauvin off Floyd’s neck.
Instead, he continued to argue with the witnesses, yelling for them to remain on the sidewalk and not come any closer.
A short time later, paramedics arrived and lifted Floyd’s lifeless body off the pavement and onto a stretcher.
Police bodycam footage has not been made available to the public yet, because it is being investigated by the FBI.

During a CNN interview, Thomas Lane’s attorney, Earl Gray said that ‘It wasn’t a violent resistance but it wasn’t a kind of non-resistance that an individual should do when police officers are arresting him.
He also noted: ‘He should get out of his vehicle and follow the orders of the police officers. He didn’t do that.’
George was killed during his interaction with officers Chauvin, Thao, Lane and Kueng on May 25. He was laid to rest June 9 in Houston, Texas.
Chauvin and Thao are next due in court on September 11.
Immediately following Floyd’s death, Black Lives Matter protests erupted globally.
While the majority of protests remained peaceful, buildings, businesses and police departments have burned after some demonstrations turned violent in major US cities.
Protesters have not only demanded justice for Floyd, but they’ve called for justice for Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade and most recently Rayshard Brooks.
Demonstrators have also marched for Ahmaud Arbery, who was shot dead by a white man in Georgia in February.
Chauvin is charged with second-degree murder, third-degree murder and manslaughter.
As part of his own defense JA Kueng’s attorneys said that he had been working on his third shift as a police officer when the incident occurred.
Lane was freed on June 10 after posting bail. Kueng followed nine days later.

The man in the infamous shot kneeling on George Floyd’s neck, former Minneapolis police Sergeant Derek Chauvin, remains behind bars.
Fired from the Minneapolis Police Department and arrested after Floyd’s death, Chauvin was initially charged with third-degree murder before that charge was upgraded to second-degree murder. Chauvin’s bail was set to $1.25million.
The officers appeared in Hennepin County courtroom last week, when their representatives asked for TV cameras to be allowed in the courtroom during the trial – currently set for March 2021.
Chauvin and Thao are next due in court on September 11.
