Washington, July 10 (TIWN) The US police officer accused of the murder of unarmed African-American man, George Floyd told him to "stop yelling" as he repeatedly gasped under the man's knee, according to court documents.
They were disclosed in court by lawyers for one of the four officers involved. The documents offer the clearest picture yet of Mr Floyd's last moments. His death in May sparked global uproar. It led to a wave of anti-racism protests led by the Black Lives Matter movement, and stirred debate and reflection in the US over the country's history of slavery and segregation. All four officers involved in taking Mr Floyd into custody were fired and arrested. Derek Chauvin, who knelt on his neck, faces several charges including second-degree murder, while the other three - Thomas Lane, J Alexander Kueng and Tou Thao - are charged with aiding and abetting murder. The last 30 minutes of George Floyd's life What US police officers think of protests What's changed since George Floyd's death? The transcripts were made public on Thursday as Mr Lane's lawyers asked for the case against him to be dismissed.
