Distressing footage shows a black man pleading that he can't breathe as a white police officer kneels on his neck, shortly before he died.

The clip, taken by a passerby, captures the man - named in US media reports as George Floyd - begging the officer: "Don't kill me." The FBI is now investigating the man's death after the video, which was shared on Facebook, sparked outrage.
