It really is. Especially things like
Morden can be heard off camera yelling, "If you're talking to us, you can breathe!"
Those of us who didn't already know found out that's not true with George Floyd.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
William Ahmo uttered the words "I can't breathe" more than 20 times while officers swarmed and restrained him in a Manitoba jail, video footage of his final hours at the Headingley Correctional Centre shows.
The video footage, shot on a handheld camera inside the jail more than two years ago, was shown in a Winnipeg courtroom last week during the first day of a trial for the corrections officer who faces charges in Ahmo's death.
Robert Jeffrey Morden, a correctional officer who was the captain of Headingley's emergency response unit, pleaded not guilty to criminal negligence causing death and failing to provide necessaries of life.
Provincial court Judge Tony Cellitti, who is presiding over Morden's trial, approved the public release of the video on Friday.
In another video shown in court, Ahmo — an Anishinaabe man from Sagkeeng First Nation — is heard telling crisis negotiator Michel Jolicoeur that he was upset over hearing a racist joke earlier that day.
Toward the tail end of the video, a different nurse says she needs to administer oxygen to Ahmo and initiate a "code red," meaning a person has no pulse.
