New video of George Floyd's 'murder' shows cop Tou Thao ignoring bystanders' desperate pleas to save

New video of George Floyd's 'murder' shows cop Tou Thao ignoring bystanders' desperate pleas to save the father's life as white cop Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for eight minutes and 46 seconds

The video was released Sunday morning by Ben Crump, a civil rights attorney representing Floyd's family.

'This is beyond disturbing, even harder to watch than the first video,' Crump warned in the caption of the video.





'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?'

As a crowd gathered, others are heard shouting, 'Get off of his neck!' and 'He’s not moving!'

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.

I tried. Had to stop it.
Caught my breath.
Tried again by resuming where I left off. Had to stop it again.
Tried to resume a third time.
Done.
