The guy was handcuffed & not resisting.
The cop should have put him in the cruiser & taken him to central booking. Period.
Instead, the cop made him sit down by the wall, then get up, then lie facedown on the street next to the car, then pressed his knee on his neck FOR 7 MINUTES.
You can see when the guy dies— he goes limp, his eyes cloud up & he peed the pavement.
Yes we know the police officer did wrong and Floyd died because of the bad knee restraint procedure.
This post was about the Minneapolis Police Department Policy & Procedure Manual.
The manual states “Neck restraints shall not be used against subjects who are passively resisting as defined by policy.”
So if Floyd is handcuff and not resisting anymore the police officer should have stop the knee restraint. Side note: the Officer doing the Knee and Floyd might know each other from another job (possible motivate).
The training expert states the officer who did the kneeing was wrong.
I was very surprise that the neck restraint was in their training manual. The neck is a very weak point of the body as Kirkwood pointed out at post 6.
By the way in another video it was a different cop that made him sit by the wall then the one who killed Floyd. Waiting for the other body cams to show where they place Floyd on the ground.
On the store camera as he his being led by the two cops to the transport cruiser he is pretty wobbly on his legs. I think at the end of that store video he trips on the curb and falls on a heap. I wonder if the cops thought that was an aggressive attempt at resisting arrest?
Although he falls at the left rear corner of the cruiser. So who knows what transpired between then and when he ends up laying along the right side of the cruiser.
Your expertise is much appreciated.
