march 17 2022 (CNN)A federal judge has unsealed a video taken by the California Highway Patrol that captures the death of Edward Bronstein, a 38-year-old man who was in their custody following a March 2020 traffic stop in Los Angeles County.
Bronstein is heard repeatedly telling officers, "I can't breathe," while pinned on the ground.
Those three words would tug at the world's conscience less than two months later when repeated by George Floyd before his death while being restrained by Minneapolis police.
Floyd's killing in May 2020 sparked national and global protests against police brutality and racial injustices, spurring a national reckoning over the way law enforcement treats Black Americans. The officer who killed Floyd, Derek Chauvin, was convicted of murder in April 2021.
Bronstein is seen screaming and crying while five uniformed officers are restraining him. One officer is seen appearing to place his knee onto Bronstein's neck, and Bronstein is heard repeatedly telling officers, "I'll do it willingly."
