George Floyd told officers that he didn't want any problems and didn't understand what was going on when officers pulled him out of the car, according to body-camera footage from Minneapolis Police officer J. Alexander Kueng.
Here is the exchange when Floyd is handcuffed and sitting against the wall outside:
Floyd: I don't want no problems. I didn't do nothing. Kueng: Do you know why we're here? Floyd: Why? Kueng: We're here because it sounds like you gave a fake bill to the individuals in there. Do you understand that? Floyd: Yes. Kueng: Do you know why we pulled you out of the car? Because you were not listening to anything we told you. Floyd: I didn't know what was going on. Kueng: You listen to us and we'll tell you what's going on. When you're moving around like that, that makes us think there's a lot more going on that we need to know.
Kueng tells Floyd that he is going to put him in the squad car and you can hear officers ask if he is "on something" as they start to walk to the other side of the street. Floyd answers that he's "not on nothing."

Video played in court Wednesday includes the first publicly heard defense of Derek Chauvin’s actions, in his own words.
Prosecution witness Charles McMillian testified he confronted the then-Minneapolis police officer shortly after George Floyd was taken away in an ambulance, and told him “I don’t respect what you did.”
On the video from Chauvin’s body camera, seen for the first time publicly, he explains why he restrained Floyd.
“We got to control this guy because he’s a sizable guy, and it looks like he is probably on something,” Chauvin told McMillian on the recording.
Earlier, McMillian described urging Floyd to cooperate with officers as they worked to put him a police car.
“Get in the car because you can’t win something of that nature,” McMillian says he told Floyd in an effort to make the situation easier.
Prosecutor Erin Eldridge played police body camera video of Floyd apparently struggling as officers tried to put him in the backset of the police car.
Additional video showed McMillian telling the officers that putting a knee on Floyd’s neck was not right while still encouraging Floyd to comply and get in the car.
McMillian didn’t see the officers give Floyd any medical attention or get off of him before the ambulance arrived.
The defense did not cross examine McMillian.
