His sheriff is a Trump republican and stands behind his deputies. My nephew has had to do the knee/neck thing a few times. As a retired correctional officer, I KNOW that someone who is high on drugs or really drunk cannot be controlled by the usual pain compliant techniques. They simply “ain’t feelin’ no pain, dude”.

Thanks! Yes, I think everyone believes the knee/neck thing is sometimes called for, and it is part of Minnesota's protocol. The only question is whether Chauvin held his knee there - or held it exactly where - for as long as he did. If your nephew has an opinion on that, I'd be interested.
