He said officers were responsible for the safety and wellbeing of anyone they arrested.
"First of all, pulling him down to the ground facedown and putting your knee on a neck for that amount of time is just uncalled for," he said. Defence lawyers have indicated they will argue that Mr Floyd died of an overdose and poor health, and the force used in his arrest was reasonable. Mr Floyd's girlfriend, Courteney Ross, gave emotional testimony, in which she described their first kiss and struggle with opioid addiction.
He told the court that an officer should stop using the knee as a restraint once "you get control of the situation" and the suspect is in handcuffs.
Lock 🔒 George Floyd up aswell with chauvin
George had a problem. God bless him.
Homicide chief criticizes force used on George Floyd but a reality Derek Chauvin could be able to tell and teach to stop indefinitely the knee-to-neck restraint because he will be the example to the police brutality
boris johnson lies to us daily and BBC news ignores it
I can see Chauvin getting acquitted as there is no way that he can expect to get a fair trial with the excessive level of coverage given in the media! The more that is put out like this just strengthens the defence case that the defendant will not get a fair trial!
He was a criminal..the only reason it's in court is because the would have riots again..but he was a criminal and the police wouldn't have stopped him if they didn't need 2..
Was it proportionate? You have a guy with a violent history. Committing a crime. High on drugs. Resisting arrest.

Report says 'White' police officer, but not African 'Criminal & drug addict heavily under influence of narcotics'american. Claiming couldnt breath & was going to die before refusing to get in police car, in police car & as pushed himself out of police car before floor restraint
Why is BBC obsessed with this story, it happened in USA nothing to do with UK and I agree it should be addressed but continued tweeter feed is not what I want.
George who ?
This wasn't 2nd degree murder by any stretch of the imagination. I struggle to see how it's 3rd degree murder too, unless there's something we don't know about between them. It is however most definitely 2nd degree manslaughter.
We are one world. One people. Ignore those who would seek to divide you. Those people do not have your best interests at heart.
