Chauvin’s trial Day 4: Question on $20 bill comes with ‘Disbelief and Guilt’

George Floyd was just another customer in a corner store that he liked to frequent. Surveillance footage played for the first time in a Minneapolis courtroom on Wednesday that confirmed the incident.

He grabbed a banana off a shelf, flipped through a wad of cash, and hugged and exchanged pleasantries with a woman, laughing with his hand on her back.

Within half an hour, a police officer pressed his knee into Floyd’s neck. Roughly two hours after he walked into the store he was dead.

On the third day, witnesses agonized for not doing anything to stop what would eventually happen to George Floyd.

The 19-year-old clerk who served Floyd at the corner store regrets his death because he had reported that Floyd used a fake $20 bill.

A 61-year-old man who saw the police pinning Floyd to the ground shook his head and held back tears as a video of the brutal arrest played.
