"Mom I love you. Tell my children I love them ... I'm dying." These are the last words of George Floyd before exhaling his last breath, while police officer Derek Chauvin continues to press with a knee on the victim's neck, pinning her to the asphalt. Yet 'Big Floyd', a big man almost two meters tall, begged him for over 9 long minutes: 'I can't breath', I can't breathe. But nothing, Chauvin doesn't want to know, even though many passersby, witnesses of the dramatic scene, beg him to let go. The shock video, taken by the bodycam of one of the agents who intervened on the spot with Chauvin, shakes the courtroom of Minneapolis where the trial for the death in May 2020 of the 46-year-old African American who has become the symbol of the Black Lives Matter movement is taking place. Terrifying, merciless images made public for the first time, even though the transcript of the dialogues had already been released last summer. Images that show the point of view of the agents and that testify how Floyd realized his end. And how his executioner showed cynicism and coldness until the end, even when the victim's body was now lifeless. "Stop talking, just scream, you need a lot of oxygen to talk ...", Chauvin's answer, hands in his pockets, mocking smile, to Floyd who kept panting and repeating that he couldn't breathe. And when a colleague tries to get him to turn George's body around to make him breathe a little, Chauvin's response is peremptory: "Stay as is." The video also shows how the 46-year-old African American posed no threat, ever since the agents intercept him in his car, pointing a gun at him and frightening him: "Don't shoot me, please ...", says Floyd, who once handcuffed refuses. , in a panic attack, to get into the police car claiming to suffer from claustrophobia. It is there that he is grounded and brutally immobilized. It is in that fearful rejection that George, without knowing it, condemns himself to an atrocious end.
