iD.. Black Male. Four Police Officers Arrived On The Scene
George Floyd obeyed orders throughout the whole devastating ordeal of being handcuffed, and physically restraint by four police officers, as he laid undignified face down on the floor, outside of the store in full view of the public, but things escalated to horrific scenes police brutality and murder.
One of the police officers was unnecessarily pressing his knee deep into George Floyd’s neck, so fatally and brutally restricting his oxygen until he drew his last breath and died right there at the scene. His pleas for help were ignored. ” I can’t breathe” “Mama” and “Please.”
A white police officer, pressed his knee to Floyd’s neck for almost nine minutes while Floyd was handcuffed face down in the street; two other officers further restrained Floyd and another stood by and prevented onlookers from intervening. At two points, the police officer that was holding Floyd’s legs asked to roll Floyd on his side.
During the last three minutes, Floyd was motionless and had no pulse, but officers made no attempt to revive him Floyd was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital” – Wikipedia Reports.
If I Would Have Been There George Floyd May Still Be Alive
The Cut Interview: Abumayyaleh The Manager of Cup Foods was interviewed by The Cut, in that interview Abumayyaleh explained in detail the tragic account of what had happened to George Floyd on 25th May. Abumayyaleh said it’s standard protocol for businesses to notify police about fake money, but his family knows most of their customers and rarely involves officers in store issues.
Abumayyaleh knew Floyd as he called him a “big teddy bear” who would come to Cup Foods a few times a week to pay his cell phone bill, and said that they always got along. But that fatal night a few of his younger employees with less experience were working. Anumayyaleh wishes he had been in the store to speak to speak with Floyd himself. If I would have been here the authorities would not have been called, ” he said. “George Floyd may still be alive.”
The Cut explained: After Floyd’s death, the 35 year old store co-owner has decided to make sure cops won’t be called to Cup Foods again. “Black people in urban communities are targeted.” he said. ” This is a step towards fixing the issue.”
In a Facebook Statement on Sunday Abumayyaleh said: “Until stop killing innocent people, we will handle incidents like this one using non-violent tactics that do not involve police.” He will tell staff not to call the cops unless there’s an extreme situation. And Abumayyaleh will no longer pay for off-duty officers to patrol the business on Friday and Saturday nights.
“We thought it’s just better to sever our ties with the Minneapolis Police Department” added Jamar Nelson who who was hired to do community and media relations for Cup Foods after Floyd’s death.
