Derek Chauvin trial: 911 dispatcher says instincts told her ‘something was wrong’ when watching George Floyd arrest security footage

A Minneapolis 911 dispatcher, Jena Scurry, was the first witness called by prosecutors in the trial of former police officer Derek Chauvin on Monday. She said she had watched live surveillance video footage during George Floyd’s arrest. “I first asked if the screen had frozen,” she said, adding “my instinct is telling me that something was wrong.” Floyd, a Black man, was killed while in police custody in Minneapolis as Chauvin apparently knelt on Floyd’s neck for nine minutes and 27 seconds.
