MINNEAPOLIS (AP) The Minneapolis police chief testified Monday that now-fired officer Derek Chauvin violated departmental policy in pressing his knee on George Floyd s neck and keeping him down after Floyd had stopped resisting and was in distress.
Continuing to kneel on Floyd s neck once he was handcuffed behind his back and lying on his stomach was in no way, shape or form part of department policy or training, and it is certainly not part of our ethics or our values, Police Chief Medaria Arradondo said on Day Six of Chauvin s murder trial.
