Alexander Kueng and Thomas Lane further restrained Floyd, while officer Tou Thao prevented bystanders from intervening.[6][7]:6:24 During the final two minutes,[8] Floyd was motionless and had no pulse[9][10] while Chauvin ignored onlookers' pleas to remove his knee, which he did not do until medics told him to.
