LEO's have training every year what is/is not allowed. My LEO son says there is nowhere in the US restraining someone by their neck in any way and especially after handcuffs have been applied is allowed.

The neck is one of the most fragile parts of the body and most easily injured and that's why it's prohibited.

Not an LEO or expert. I am only pointing out the article.

From article:
“The maneuver police used to restrain George Floyd before his death is no longer allowed in most Minnesota law-enforcement agencies, but in Minneapolis, it’s allowed as a “non-deadly force option” if officers are properly trained.”

I am sure once the city gets sue, they will change there policy. Oh there is no one branch of federal government setting policy for all police departments. Local governments have their own policies. We do not want federalize our local police.

Forgot to ask, is he a member of the Minneapolis Police department? That is an important bit of info to determine if the article is correct or not.

We will see what happens. I am sure there is a lot of info both us do not have. It will be a closely watch court case, hopefully no mater what the outcome people will accept it.

That is all really very interesting mass55th.
German Americans (German: Deutschamerikaner, pronounced [ˈdɔʏ̯tʃʔameʁiˌkaːnɐ]) are Americans who have full or partial German ancestry. With an estimated size of approximately 44.2 million in 2018, German Americans are the largest of the self-reported ancestry groups by the US Census Bureau in its American Community Survey.[1] German Americans account for about one third of the total ethnic German population in the world.

He violently resisted arrest. That explains why the police were aggressive.

Not it does not explain anything. A knee to the neck in order to handcuff a suspect who is violently resisting is no problem, in my opinion.

But basically standing on a suspects neck for over eight minutes *AFTER* the suspect has been handcuffed is over the top and wrong. This isn't even debatable.

Floyd’s legal team says an independent autopsy determined that his death was a homicide caused by asphyxia “due to neck and back compression that led to a lack of blood flow to the brain.” The result is contradictory to the official autopsy from Hennepin County, which declared the death a homicide caused by a cardiopulmonary arrest.

Floyd is pronounced dead in hospital less than an hour after his body was driven away from the scene of the arrest.

But we know from a recorded phone call with paramedics that Floyd went into full cardiac arrest in as little as five minutes after he was loaded into the ambulance.

So, to be in cardiac arrest in the ambulance, means he was not dead at the scene. He may have died in route, or at the hospital, but not at the scene. Also cardiac arrest was caused by other issues which were pre-existing to the arrest, and had no direct connection to asphyxia, or strangulation, which was my point all along. Also noted, the first autopsy, showed Mr. Floyd did not die of asphyxia or strangulation, it was only the second autopsy paid for by the family, that showed a different outcome.

https://www.hennepin.us/-/media/hennepinus/residents/public-safety/documents/Autopsy_2020-3700_Floyd.pdf

The medical examiner’s report lists Floyd’s death as having occurred May 25 at 9:25 p.m.; the autopsy was conducted exactly twelve hours later at 9:25 a.m. on May 26.

As was released earlier by the medical examiner’s office, Floyd’s cause of death is listed officially as “cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restrain, and neck compression.” The full autopsy report states further that “no life-threatening injuries [were] identified.” The medical examiner’s office had also previously deemed the manner of Floyd’s death a “homicide.”

Long after his death, it seems that Floyd died in police custody, all the reports I read indicate different findings from one perspective or another. I am concerned for all the officers, Chauvon in particular, and the training they received, police procedures and training, and the incomplete stories reported by the MSM that adds false fuel to the fire.
