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.

The answer seems to be they had to hold him until he could be secured on a gurney- passed out perps will sometimes burst back to consciousness, and overpower their subdue-rs if they aren’t prepared for it- Drugs are a wicked substance- Floyd was a very large man as well-
