MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Body-camera footage made public Wednesday from two Minneapolis police officers involved in George Floyds arrest captured a panicked and fearful Floyd pleading with the officers in the minutes before his death, saying Im not a bad guy! as they tried to wrestle him into a squad car.

Im not that kind of guy, Floyd says as he struggles against the officers. I just had COVID, man, I dont want to go back to that. An onlooker pleads with Floyd to stop struggling, saying, You cant win! Floyd replies, I dont want to win!

A few minutes later, with Floyd now face-down on the street, the cameras record his fading voice, still occasionally saying, I cant breathe before he goes still.

The recordings from Officers Thomas Lane and J. Kueng are part of the criminal case against them and two other officers in Floyds May 25 death. Derek Chauvin, who held his knee against Floyds neck for nearly eight minutes, is charged with second-degree murder. Lane, Kueng and another officer, Tou Thao, are charged with aiding and abetting.

All four officers were fired a day after Floyds death. Journalists and members of the public were allowed to view the footage Wednesday by appointment. Judge Peter Cahill, without explanation, has declined to allow publication of the video.

The footage shows the officers view of a death already widely seen on a bystanders cellphone video, which set off tumultuous protests in Minneapolis that quickly spread around the world and sparked a national reckoning on race and policing.

Floyd appears distraught from the moment officers ask him to step out of his vehicle near a south Minneapolis corner grocery, where he was suspected of passing a counterfeit $20 bill. When Floyd did not immediately display his hands, Lane pulled his gun, leading Floyd to say he had been shot before.

Floyds hands are soon handcuffed behind his back, and he grows more anxious, telling the officers that hes claustrophobic and pleading with them not to put him in the back of a squad car.

In the struggle, Floyd loses a shoe. What appears to be Chauvins chest-mounted body camera winds up underneath the squad car, and Floyd eventually winds up on the pavement with the officers holding him down.

Chauvin and Kueng each grip one of Floyds handcuffed hands to hold them in position behind his back, with Kuengs knee appearing to press on Floyds bottom or just below. Lane is at Floyds feet.

The officers sound clinical as the minutes tick by. I think hes passing out, one officer says. You guys all right, though? someone asks. Yeah good so far, says one. Another apparently Lane says: My knee might be a little scratched, but Ill survive. Kueng reaches out with a free hand to pull a pebble from the police SUVs tire tread and toss it to the street.

Lane did not sound particularly worried the first time he asked Chauvin whether they should roll Floyd on his side and suggested that Floyd might be in delirium. People in the crowd can be heard expressing fear for Floyds condition, asking whether he had a pulse and was breathing.

A couple of minutes later, Lane sounds a bit more concerned when he asks again about rolling Floyd onto his side. The officers go quiet but show no apparent urgency as Kueng checks for a pulse and says he cannot find one.

Lanes camera shows him following an unresponsive, shirtless Floyd on a stretcher into an ambulance, where EMTs instructed him to perform CPR. The video shows Lane performing constant chest compressions by hand with no visible results.

The ambulance parks a few blocks away from the store for several minutes while Lane and the EMTs work on Floyd, rather than heading straight to the hospital, even though they all know that Floyd is in full cardiac arrest, as indicated by dispatcher audio.

A coalition of news organizations and attorneys for Lane and Kueng have said that making the videos public would provide a more complete picture of what happened when Floyd was taken into custody.

The viewing of the video took place place on the same day Floyd family attorney Ben Crump was announcing a lawsuit against the city and the police officers involved in his death.

The body camera videos and transcripts were filed in court last week by Lanes attorney, Earl Gray, as part of a request to have Lanes case dismissed. Gray said at the time that he wanted the videos to be made public, telling the Star Tribune that they would show the whole picture. Gray said the bystander video shows just the last piece of what happened and is not fair.

Grays request highlighted portions of the body camera video that show Floyd actively resisting and acting erratic with officers. It also noted Floyds request to be put on the ground. Gray also argued that Lane did not have a clear view of what Chauvin was doing.

Kuengs attorney, Tom Plunkett, has also asked that the video be made public.
