FBI, BCA investigate death of man in Minneapolis police custody

The FBI and the state’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension are investigating the death of a man as he was taken into custody by Minneapolis police. Video posted on Facebook, apparently shot by a bystander, shows an officer holding the man down beside a police vehicle on the northbound side of Chicago Avenue, near 38th Street. “I cannot breathe. I cannot breathe,” the man says as the officer apparently kneels on his neck.
