The intensity, frustration and anguish of George Floyd’s fatal encounter with Minneapolis police came into agonizing view Wednesday as prosecutors played extended police body camera footage capturing multiple views of the incidents that led to Floyd's killing. Viewed in succession, the videos offered a brutal, close-up look at officers struggling to push a handcuffed Floyd into a squad car, then pinning him to the pavement to subdue him as he pleads that he can’t breathe, while bystanders on the curb yelled that Floyd is dying.

This is an MPR News morning update for Thursday, April 1, 2021. Hosted by Cathy Wurzer.
