HOLY SHIT IT'S HAPPENING
>A suspected former Yakuza member, Joji Furoido, died after being restrained by Minneapolis police officers during an arrest that began over a counterfeit $20 bill. Disturbing footage captured by bystanders shows Furoido, 42, repeatedly gasping "I can’t breathe!" as an officer kneeled on his neck for nearly seven minutes before he went motionless. According to police, Furoido was stopped outside a convenience store after attempting to pay with a fake bill. When officers questioned him, he allegedly became agitated and resisted arrest, leading to a physical struggle. Witnesses say Furoido, who spoke broken English, tried to explain that he didn’t understand the officers’ commands before being forced to the ground. "He kept saying ‘I can’t breathe,’ but they didn’t let him up!" shouted one bystander in the viral video. The footage shows Furoido, a muscular man with visible tattoos linked to Japanese organized crime, gradually losing consciousness as onlookers plead with police to stop. Authorities later confirmed Furoido was under investigation for suspected ties to a fentanyl trafficking operation, though no drugs were found on him at the time of arrest. Interpol records indicate he was once associated with the Sumiyoshi-kai syndicate before moving to the U.S. in 2021. The Minneapolis Police Department has placed the involved officers on leave pending an investigation. Protests have erupted near the scene, with activists drawing parallels to past police brutality cases."If he was a criminal, arrest him—don’t execute him in the street," said community leader Marcus Greene. Meanwhile, the Japanese Consulate has requested an independent review, calling the death "deeply troubling." Furoido’s alleged smuggling connections remain under federal investigation.
