Twitter Users React As Bodycam Footage Of George Floyd’s Arrest Emerges [VIDEO]

A new dimension to the tragic story of George Floyd is sparking a debate on Twitter as new body camera footage of his arrest is making some believe that he may have been high on drugs at the time.

Floyd’s demise at the hands of Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin led to the ongoing Black Lives Matter protests currently rocking the United States and other parts of the world, as many have continued to protest police brutality against blacks.

Now, the release of the body cam video clip of Floyd’s arrest is making some Twitter users say that he had drugs in his system because according to them, he was even hyperactive before the cops laid their hands on him.

See the bodycam footage and reactions below:

y’all realize the fact that george floyd was having a panic attack makes it even LESS justifiable…. not more… right

george floyd was never resisting in the body cam video he said over and over he wasn’t and that he couldn’t breathe he was obviously scared and traumatized with a gun being pulled on him and stated he was shot before and pled to not be shot again. he didn’t deserve to die.

george floyd at the end of the day was still murdered.

doesnt matter if he "was on drugs"
doesnt matter if he "was saying he couldnt breathe whilst standing"

he was still fuvking murdered. he had a gun pulled on him as well.

it's so fuvking disgusting to see people blame george floyd's death on himself. even IF he was on drugs, he didn't deserve to die. hold the fuvking cops accountable.

I just watched the George Floyd body cam footage…this man was having a panic attack brought on by ptsd or drugs the cops were not dealing with it at all. They murdered this man. Doesn't matter his state of mind how it happened or what he did. They murdered him be mad at that.

y’all praising him, but when george floyd was caught with an alleged counterfeit, it was suddenly “he deserved it” or “maybe he shouldn’t have done that”??? this is literally white privilege https://t.co/RDVe4nJaWt

back during all the riots i said the officers involved in the george floyd death were gonna wind up being found not guilty because they were being overcharged to appease the mob. now the i have seen the officers body cams i believe what i said even stronger. the mob is

George Floyd had absolutely no reason to be in fear for his life. He would say so himself if he weren't murdered.

Just watched the George Floyd video. I think we were lied to…

they ain’t learn from Rodney King, they ain’t learn from Breanna Taylor, they ain’t learn from George Floyd, one day there’s gonna be a revolution and I’m gonna fuvk sh!t up

— gabe???? (@its_mr_nobody_) August 4, 2020

these white supremacists are so glad to see that george floyd was resisting and they say it was his fault he died but HAVE YOU NO HUMAN DECENCY? no way in the bodycam footage was george floyd being aggressive or threatening towards the officers he was just scared pic.twitter.com/qPIWSJtktz

https://t.co/Bz6EDVF5XD can’t believe this sh!t… fuvk those 4 cops

It doesn’t matter how high George Floyd was, any issue with the drugs he’d taken, or panic attack he was having, would have been exasperated by someone kneeling on his neck. #BlackLivesMatter

— Dineo Maboe (@DineoMaboeSA) August 4, 2020

All I saw was a terrified man… The cops are trained “professionals” who murdered him after kneeling on his neck for nine fuvking minutes. When are we going to stop expecting untrained citizens like George Floyd to be more civil than police officers? https://t.co/bqYuB80sy1

George Floyd was HANDCUFFED and UNARMED he didn't deserve to die #BLM https://t.co/gU8tBxsQ3n

I don't understand why people think that George Floyd being a criminal justifies his death. Even with noncompliance, he was no threat to the police. We have a process. Also, as many people said, the riots were not about specifically Floyd, he just added fuel to an existing issue.
