Multiple videos have been released on George Floyd’s arrest, with one showing him pinned down by three different officers near a patrol car while a fourth stands near his head.

"Please, please, please, I can't breathe," Floyd begged in one video caught by a bystander.

"My stomach hurts.

My neck hurts.

Please, please.

I can't breathe."

He died while in custody that day.
