A use-of-force expert is resuming testimony in the trial of former Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin as the prosecution focuses on police policy to cut at the heart of defense arguments

From CNN's Eric Levenson and Aaron Cooper

Four police officials took the stand in court yesterday during the prosecution's portion of the trial.Minneapolis Police Lt. Johnny Mercil However, Mercil said in cross-examination that Chauvin's position might be considered"using body weight to control," a tactic in which officers place a knee on a prone suspect's shoulder blades to handcuff them. He acknowledged that some screen grabs of police body-camera footage show Chauvin with his knee on Floyd's shoulders.

Seems like if Mr. Floyd was such a threat Derek Chauvin would want both of his hands free to use. Since he has his hand in his pocket while kneeling on Mr. Floyds neck, I don't see how he could claim Mr. Floyd was out of control!

I am a fan of CNN but I am ABSOLUTELY opposed to the broadcast of the Derek Chauvin trial. It just feels inappropriate. Why give right-wing media more ammunition to attack with pet words and phrases: Libs, police-bashing, race riot baiting, money grubbing sensationalists, & more?

'...the prosecution focuses on police policy to cut at the heart of defense arguments' Defense arguments? What defense arguments? It would be helpful if you actually reported those. You'll find that most adults can handle the stress of a different opinion.

Justice for Floyd

9 fuc&ing minutes on the human beings neck, the defense attorney can spit all the A Reasonable Doubt he wants, Floyd was killed by the hands of, ' the protect and serve' humans, under oath in America but America they killed Floyd, so fuc& a love for all mankind.

If this defence lawyer says the word ‘reasonable’ one more time, I’M GONNA SCREAM!!

I heard Mr. Floyd state when the officers were trying to get him in the police car that he is claustrophobic. He said roll down the windows the officers said they would.

Such coverage should be given over 100s killed including children in inner cities each year by thugs and gangs and cops killed in the line of duty enforcing the laws

How come whenever something happens to a black by a white it is automatically racism but it wasnt racism of an elderly Asian woman beaten in the street for no reason by a black man or an elderly white woman beaten on her way to work by a black man in Tampa. Its forgotten about.

Why are you just covering the prosecution? For those that need to hear it, there’s two sides of a trial.

Kneeling should only be WHEN PRAYING. Kneel to pray, not to kill

It’s so sad that Derek Chauvin is potentially going to prison for life because George Floyd had a heart attack caused by all the drugs he took.

Seems like prosecution thinks NO ONE has ever seen an episode of COPS! IFS, MAYBES, WOULDASHOULDACOULDAS! A whole lot of nothin’ for a drug od!

I watched the video, it was not clear in the media what specifically preceded it, the evidence in its entirety (audio recording, video). Kneeling is a good thing, but it must not be exaggerated, given the character of a lawman, I must state that his dogs are not normal.

The prosecuters expert witnesses have been great for the defence..the autopsy clears chauvin as it states huge doses of fentynal and methamphetamine in Floyd's system and not one bruise on his neck..video is horrific but the facts don't back it up

I wonder if they would be going through all this if the situation were reversed and it was George Floyd that killed the officer in the same way What a Loud of crap the stuff they are going through with this trial 1/2

Admit it or not, that racist killer cop was getting sick pleasure from seeing and feeling that black man die from being tortured. Look at his face, it screams die, die, die!

Free Derek

To those who claim George Floyd’s death was the result of an overdose, fine, let’s roll with it. Please show me where it says the first step in treating an overdosed individual is crushing his neck with your knee for nine fucking minutes.

Throw Chauvin to the wolves. No sympathy for that psychopath.
