Prosecutors played never-before-heard audio of Chauvin speaking with his supervisor after Floyd died •Chauvin was breathless and coughing as he took a call from Minneapolis Police Sergeant David Pleoger •'I was just going to call you come out to our scene we had to hold a guy down he was going crazy, wouldn't go in the back of the squad,' Chauvin said on the call •Testifying in court on Thursday, Pleoger said that Chauvin did not tell him that he had applied his knee to Floyd's neck of that he had held him down for any length of time •'He said he'd suffered a medical emergency and an ambulance was called,' Pleoger told Chauvin
The defense made an objection after prosecutor Steve Schleicher asked Pleoger: 'Do you believe the restraint should have ended at some point in the encounter?'
Judge Peter Cahill ultimately allowed Pleoger to respond, at which point he said: 'Yes [it should have ended] when Mr Floyd was no longer offering up any resistance.'

I want to know if Chauvin knew Floyd. Originally the story was they both worked security at some nightclub.
If not since Chauvin worked in the local precinct that covered the area Floyd lived in, it is possible they had previous encounters
He probably was going crazy.
Being super high meses up your senses big time. Lsd trips are really wild for many people, fentanyl would be as well.
But the restraint in no way caused the death of George Floyd. He was breathing the whole time he was held down and dying from a fentanyl overdose.
It will be telling when we learn what really went on.
Funny how it takes foreign media to report on this.
It’s almost as if the Liberal MSM has several agendas and are actively hiding things from the public.
But that can’t be.
Must be an accidental oversight on their part.
Yeah, that’s the ticket.
“LSD trips are really wild for many people...”
I never had a probl…
Wait, never mind.
Never before heard? Something tells me it’s been heard before.
bttt
:)
They report it as if it was a lie. He absolutely was going crazy on them.
After Floyd was dead..
“Chauvin was breathless and coughing as he took a call from Minneapolis Police Sergeant David Pleoger •’I was just going to call you come out to our scene we had to hold a guy down...”
Chauvin had just been relaxing for 10 minutes with his hands in his pockets, if pulling out his phone and calling his boss makes him breathless he needs to get into better shape.
It wouldn’t matter if they knew each other, if they had issues which each other, what the evidence is. True justice doesn’t exist in a Mobocracy and the mob demands his head and he will be convicted and sentenced to life.
Cops in this country need to say to hell with the Taylor law and go on strike. The Domestic enemies currently occupying our government want to keep up this cops are the bad guys, cops are racist, defund the cops crap then why should they show up for work? Give the Domestic enemies and their supporters exactly what they want and see how much they like it.
Either way, Riots will go wild.
Your choice of the term Mobocracy is fortuitous—if what I recall of the connections is accurate.
The evidence as presented in an article that I read at the time seemed to point to them both working for the Mob and Floyd putting an operation at risk by fishing off his own dock, so to speak.
I need some Yeezy’s and a PS5 Son!
Ans: Yes [it should have ended] when Mr Floyd was no longer offering up any resistance.
One wonders how many LEO's would agree restraint should be withdrawn when a physically large "crazy" acting suspect appears to calm down while yet on the street?
. Exactly. This helps the PROSECUTION to emphasize that Floyd was going crazy?
EXCERPT:
Earlier in his testimony [prosecutor Steve] Schleicher had questioned [Minneapolis Police Department Sergeant David] Pleoger about Minneapolis Police Department policy regarding use of force and asked if he was aware of positional asphyxia.
He said he had been for ‘a lot of years’. Asked to explain what it was, Pleoger said: ‘If you leave someone on their chest for too long their breathing can become compromised so you want to get them off their chest.’
This was a risk, Schleicher established, whether somebody was applying pressure to a person or not.
Schleicher also took Pleoger through sections of the police policy document including instructions regarding use of the ‘hobble’ or Maximum Restraint Technique – a device that cuffs a suspects hands and feet together and for which Chauvin called for but did not use on Floyd.
According to police policy if the hobble is used, ‘the person shall be placed in the side recovery position’, and not be kept face down, in the prone position.
Officers are also required ‘as soon as reasonably practical [to] determine if anyone was injured and render medical aid consistent with training and request Emergency Medical Services (EMS) if necessary’.
Doesn't seem like that question should've been allowed. It asks Pleoger to make an opinion about an event when he wasn't even there.
AGREE!
