I believe I have even seen video or documentation from the Minneapolis Police Department in the past discussing the use of this tactic to immobilize a suspect resisting arrest.
I really do remember seeing something along those lines.
Now, that doesn’t mean he didn’t use the technique wrong or inappropriately, but I believe it WAS an accepted procedure.
When this all went down, I was pretty shocked and thought it there was no way to excuse it, but...some Freepers posted information that showed that it was approved for use and actually taught to that police department...and considered myself fortunate to have had that info provided to me.
i ran across a site the other night where they showed photographic proof that chauvin never kneeled on floyds neck- not even once- the kneeling was all on the back and upper shoulders- wish i had bookmarked the site- you can clearly see the knee was nowhere near the neck. I’ll see if i can find it again- The narrative that chauvin kneeled on his neck is a false narrative
and of course- i do a search, and al lthat coems up is “Chauvin kneeled on Floyd’s neck” by liberal news media- may take awhile- the evidence was presented at the trial i beleive that chauvin did not kneel on neck
well, this one is from a liberal site tryign to make the case chauvin is guilty- but you can see the prosecution’s witness actually say chaivin kneeled on the back and shoulder, not the neck- the site though immediately tries to say “But floyd’s shoulder was right near his neck”- which is nonsense- the knee was not on the neck no matter how close the neck was-
Floyd was breathing fine, right up until the drugs killed him. He was also speaking fine, which woudl be impossible if his airway was cut off to the point where he was suffocated to death
