According to the New York Post, the unidentified woman contacted her supervisor after she witnessed George Floyd’s arrest from a live camera outside of Cup Foods and was shocked by the officers’ behavior. She said to her supervisor: “I don’t know, you can call me a snitch if you want to, but we have the cameras up for (squad) 320’s call, and… I don’t know if they had to use force or not, but they got something out of the back of the squad, and all of them sat on this man. So, I don’t know if they needed you or not, but they haven’t said anything to me,”
The supervisor said in response that the officers only described the arrest as a “takedown”. They said “They haven’t said anything yet… just a takedown, which doesn’t count, but I’ll find out.”
