As they bring Floyd to the squad, you can hear Floyd say "I am claustrophobic for real, Mr. Officer", tell them he's scared. One of the officers offers to crack a window.

In this body worn camera footage, we just saw the struggle at the squad. Now #GeorgeFloyd is being restrained on the ground.

The officers are debating whether to use a hobble device to restrain him, Floyd is telling them he can't breathe.

Video is paused as Schleicher asks Lt. Rugel what is on the ground there -- he identifies it as a body camera.

Again, this video is from former officer Lane's body camera footage. He is restraining Floyd's legs.

Lane asks whether they should roll Floyd on his side at this point.

We see Lane move off of Floyd's legs and say that it appears Floyd is "passed out".

You can very clearly hear the bystanders ask the officers to check Floyd's pulse over and over again in the video.

As #GeorgeFloyd is loaded into the ambulance, the video is paused.

Schleicher moves on to the body worn camera footage of former officer Kueng, which we are now seeing.

When they approach the vehicle, Kueng goes around to the passenger side.

We can see Kueng speaking to Floyd on the sidewalk. Floyd is handcuffed.

Lane and Kueng then walk Floyd across the street to the squad.

At the squad we hear the officers tell Floyd to get into the vehicle. From Kueng's camera, you can see Lane go around to the other side, appearing to pull Floyd into the squad.

This is the angle from Kueng's camera once Floyd is on the ground. We can hear Floyd say he is claustrophobic, "I can't breathe" and "everything hurts".

We can also hear an officer raising concerns about drugs, an officer can also be heard telling Floyd to relax.

For the last 40 minutes, we've been seeing footage from these two body worn cameras.

We can hear the voices of Donald Williams and Minneapolis Firefighter Genevieve Hansen in the background, both testified yesterday. Williams' testimony started on Monday.

Schleicher pauses the video.

We are now about to see the video from former officer Tou Thao's body worn camera.

From this video, we can see Thao approach the scene and the attempts to get Floyd into the squad.

From Thao's video, we can see Chauvin had Floyd in some kind of hold at the squad.

We can see Thao go through the back of the squad and then it appears he hands something to Lane.

From Thao's body camera, you can see the position of the officers and the crowd.

Williams and Hansen can be seen addressing Thao and Chauvin, telling officers to check for a pulse.

Schleicher stops playing the video shortly after.

Schleicher now has Chauvin's body camera footage played-

That footage paused before Chauvin gets out of the squad.

Schleicher is now submitting photographs from each of the former officers' body worn cameras.
