It wasn't just former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin's knee on the neck of George Floyd that contributed to the alleged excessive force applied in the fatal 2020 arrest of the 46-year-old Black man, a prosecution expert witness testified Wednesday.
Los Angeles Police Department Sgt. Jody Stiger -- a veteran use-of-force trainer, who is testifying as a paid expert witness for the prosecution -- said his review of video evidence in Floyd's arrest indicated that Chauvin was also using a "pain compliance technique" on Floyd's handcuffed left hand.
