Uddrag
The employee at the store immediately called the police, and they shortly after arrived outside the store. George was standing a few meters away from the store on the corner of the street.
The police took contact with George and tried to arrest him, but George refused to cooperate, which led to the police officers pulling George over to the police car.
They tried to make him explain what had happened, but George didn’t want to say anything. The police officers reacted very violently to this and pulled George onto the ground.
When he hit the ground, one of the police officers chose to take one of his knees onto George’s neck and held him to the ground.
Several people were i watching the episode and heard George screaming “I can't breathe” multiple times.
