Read the transcript of J. Alexander Kueng's body camera footage during George Floyd call

July 16, 2020 at 2:36PM

Thomas Lane's attorney sought Wednesday to dismiss charges against him in the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

The transcript begins as officer J. Alexander Kueng and his partner Thomas Lane are talking to three people in a vehicle, including George Floyd, who is in the driver's seat. Two of the individuals end up seated on the sidewalk while Floyd eventually is pinned down by three officers including Kueng, Lane and Derek Chauvin. The transcript concludes after Kueng said he has the possible $20 counterfeit bill and has sought the security footage from Cup Foods. The officers then turn off their body cameras.

Correction: A previous version of this story misspelled the last name of J. Alexander Kueng.
