Portrait of a killer: Officer Derek Chauvin seen here throttling the life out of George Floyd reportedly told Floyd to &#8216;stop yelling&#8217; after the handcuffed man tried to tell the officer his life was at risk, according to transcripts of body cam footage from the scene on May 25</strong></h6>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">As George Floyd told Minneapolis police officers that he couldn&#8217;t breathe more than 20 times in the moments before he died, the officer who pressed his knee against Floyd&#8217;s neck dismissed his pleas, saying &#8216;it takes a heck of a lot of oxygen to talk,&#8217; according to transcripts of body camera video recordings made public Wednesday.<br />
The transcripts for the body camera videos of officers Thomas Lane and J. Kueng provide the most detailed account yet of what happened as police were taking Floyd into custody on May 25, and reveal more of what was said after Floyd, a black man who was handcuffed, was put on the ground.<br />
&#8216;You&#8217;re going to kill me, man,&#8217; Floyd said, according to a transcript of Lane&#8217;s body camera video.<br />
&#8216;Then stop talking, stop yelling. It takes a heck of a lot of oxygen to talk,&#8217; said Derek Chauvin, the white officer who held his knee to Floyd&#8217;s neck for nearly 8 minutes, even after Floyd stopped moving.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">&#8216;They&#8217;ll kill me. They&#8217;ll kill me. I can&#8217;t breathe. I can&#8217;t breathe,&#8217; Floyd said.<br />
Chauvin&#8217;s attorney, Eric Nelson, had no immediate comment Wednesday.<br />
The transcripts were made public Wednesday as part of Lane&#8217;s request to have the case against him dismissed. Lane&#8217;s attorney, Earl Gray, said in a memorandum that there isn&#8217;t probable cause to charge his client, based on all of the evidence and the law.<br />
Gray painted an image of a rookie officer who trusted Chauvin, a senior officer, after Floyd had been acting erratically, struggling and hurting himself during an arrest. Gray said that once Floyd was on the ground, Lane had asked twice if officers should roll Floyd on his side, and Chauvin said no.<br />
Gray also submitted the body camera footage itself, but that was not immediately made public. The transcripts show Floyd appearing cooperative at times but becoming agitated as he begged not to be put in a squad car, saying repeatedly he was claustrophobic.<br />
&#8216;Oh man, God don&#8217;t leave me man, please man, please man,&#8217; he begged, later adding: &#8216;I&#8217;ll do anything y&#8217;ll tell me to, man. &#8230; I&#8217;m just claustrophobic, that´s it.&#8217;</p>
<h6 class="mol-para-with-font"><strong><span style="color: var(--color-text); font-size: 1rem;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-350613" src="https://konniemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Thomas-Lane-2.jpg" alt="Thomas Lane 2" width="699" height="513" /></span>The transcripts were made public Wednesday as part of Thomas Lane&#8217;s request to have the case against him dismissed </strong></h6>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">
Gray wrote that Floyd started to thrash back and forth and was &#8216;hitting his face on the glass in the squad and began to bleed from his mouth.&#8217; Officers brought Floyd to the ground and, &#8216;the plan was to restrain him so he couldn&#8217;t move and hurt himself anymore,&#8217; Gray wrote.<br />
Chauvin is charged with second-degree murder, third-degree murder and manslaughter. Lane, Kueng and Tou Thao are charged with aiding and abetting both second-degree murder and manslaughter. Lane was holding Floyd&#8217;s legs at the time, Kueng was at Floyd&#8217;s midsection and Thao was watching nearby bystanders. All four officers were fired.<br />
A message left with an attorney for Floyd&#8217;s family wan&#8217;t immediately returned. A spokesman for the attorney general&#8217;s office said prosecutors plan to oppose the motion to dismiss.<br />
<span style="color: var(--color-text); font-size: 1rem;">Defense attorney Earl Gray who is representing Thomas Lane, one of the three ex-cops charged with aiding and abetting Chauvin in the killing of George Floyd, </span><span style="color: var(--color-text); font-size: 1rem;">in a memorandum argues that there is no probable cause to charge his client, based on all of the evidence and the law.<br />
</span>As part of his court filing, Gray also submitted a transcript of Lane&#8217;s interview with state investigators and police department training materials on restraint holds. Gray writes that all of the evidence exonerates his client, hence it is not &#8216;fair or reasonable&#8217; for Lane to stand trial.</p>

</div>
<p>Gray said in a memorandum that his client&#8217;s body camera video shows the encounter with Floyd from the time Lane got on the scene to the point where Floyd was put into an ambulance; Lane went in the ambulance and helped with CPR, according to the transcript.<br />
Lane repeatedly told Floyd to show his hands, and he told investigators he drew his gun at first because Floyd was reaching for something, but holstered it once Floyd showed his hands.<br />
transcripts of the audio from the body camera video show that Floyd initially said he had been shot before. He repeatedly and begged police not to shoot him. He is heard apologizing to the cops, while reiterating that he was not resisting and was willing to do whatever was asked of him. He is then heard making the entreaty ..&#8217;don&#8217;t kill me&#8217;.<br />
Gray mentions that Floyd was acting erratically and had foam at his mouth.<br />
According to the body camera video transcripts, when asked about the foam and whether he was on something, Floyd said he was scared and had been playing basketball.<br />
<span style="color: var(--color-text); font-size: 1rem;">In defense of his client Gray lays the blame for the killing of Floyd on Chauvin, the senior officer on the scene. Gray remarks that once George Floyd was on the ground, Lane had asked twice if officers should roll Floyd on his side, and twice Sgt. Derek Chauvin rejected the suggestion. </span></div>

Once Floyd was on the ground, Lane told the other officers &#8216;he&#8217;s got to be on something.&#8217; and he asked twice whether officers should roll Floyd onto his side &#8211; Chauvin said no.<br />
&#8216;Lane had no basis to believe Chauvin was wrong in making that decision,&#8217; Gray wrote.<br />

</div>
</div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">&#8216;Huh?&#8217; Chauvin said, according to the transcript of Keung&#8217;s body camera video.<br />
Lane told state investigators that although Chauvin was not Lane&#8217;s field training officer, he had trained Kueng and was someone from whom Lane had previously guidance. According to a transcript of that interview, one investigator said it seemed like Lane&#8217;s gut was telling him something wasn&#8217;t right with the way Floyd was being restrained.<br />
&#8216;Yeah. I would say felt like it maybe could have been handled differently or we should be reassessing what we&#8217;re doing, I think is what I was kind of coming to,&#8217; Lane said.<br />
Gray argues in his memorandum that in order to charge Lane with aiding and abetting, prosecutors must show Lane played a knowing role in committing a crime.<br />
There&#8217;s no evidence Lane played an intentional role or knew Chauvin was committing a crime, namely assault, Gray argues.<br />
&#8216;The decision to restrain Floyd was reasonably justified,&#8217; Gray wrote, adding: &#8216;Based on Floyd&#8217;s actions up to this point, the officers had no idea what he would do next &#8211; hurt himself, hurt the officers, flee, or anything else, but he was not cooperating.&#8217;<br />
Former officer Lane&#8217;s trust in his senior colleague Chauvin was &#8216;reasonable and not criminal,&#8217; Gray concludes.</p>
