DEVELOPING: Man seen pleading 'I cannot breathe' as a Minneapolis police officer put his knee on the man's neck for several minutes died Monday night, prompting the FBI and Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to investigate.
A statement from the Minneapolis Police Department released early Tuesday said the officers had responded to a report of a forgery in progress and found the suspect in his car. He stepped out of the car when he was ordered to, police said, but then physically resisted officers.
"We put out the information that we believed to be wholly honest and true. As we dug into it deeper, we realized that in fact it would be appropriate to have the FBI be apart of this investigation as well," said the department's director of public information, John Elder. He said the officers involved were on paid leave. Neither of the officers in the video or the man who died have been identified by the police.
"This man's life matters," Frey said."He should not have died, he was a human being and his life mattered. ... Whatever the investigation reveals, it does not change the single truth that he should be with us this morning."
