Officer caught on own camera saying 'let's get these motherf******' at George Floyd protests

Body camera footage from George Floyd protests in San Jose, California, show a police officer reveling in the chance to use force against protesters.

During one of the body camera videos, a police officer can be heard shouting "Hell yeah! Let's get some!" and "Let's get these motherf******" before attempting to apprehend protesters.

The footage also showed an incident in which a police officer who hit a fleeing individual with his motorcycle and another showed police beating a man with a foam baton after he was pulled over the police skirmish line.

The San Jose Police Department released the footage on Friday after months of heavy criticism from community members about police conduct during the protests. Police Chief Eddy Garcia said he hoped releasing the footage would "provide the public more clarity into each of these incidents."
