I never said that he had his knee on his throat. Whatever the case may be a person died the officer may or may not be at fault for his death. I don’t know enough facts to know if the officers actions caused his death.
All I know is that even if the officer was following policy he can be charged. The officer has to act reasonably even if following policy. What he did may be reasonable under the circumstances, but that is for a jury to decide.
Sorry, I apologize. I switched terms in my post. It was inadvertent.
I still have the same question. The “neck” is typically defined as:
“Part of body by which the head is connected to the trunk, it extends from the base of the cranium to the top of the shoulders.”
Where did the cop have his knee? Looks (in everything I can find) that he has it on Floyd’s upper back.
