Washington Post describes it this way: “In Lane’s video, the officer pulls a gun on Floyd within 15 seconds of encountering him in a parked vehicle, without announcing who he is or what he is investigating.”

What really happened:

Walks up, taps window, waits for Floyd to see him in uniform. 

“Show me your hands”

Floyd does not show hands but leans forward and looks down with hands where officer can’t see so officer Lane draws. 

Floyd opens door and puts hands on steering wheel. Lane holsters and Floyd continues to say please don’t shoot me. 

Clearly not acting normal
